If they get organized, I think there could be some influence to pass new legislation of some sort, but I don't really see that happening.

I've called several lenders in the Texas area and was informed that a HELOC is not available to investment properties located in Texas (due to some Texas legislation).

According to the rules of statutory interpretation, legislators use words for a reason.

I wouldn't make assumptions about legislation.

Anyone who operates with this mindset is obviously oblivious to the machinations of the legislative process in the US Congress.

When you don't pay attention to possible legislation that can hurt you.

http://www.constructiondive.com/news/co-constructi...A new construction defects law that could revive condominium development has passed the Colorado House unanimously and is expected to gain Senate approval as well, according to CBS Denver.The new legislation would reverse new-development obstacles contained in the existing law, such as a homeowners association's (HOA) ability to sue condominium developers without first obtaining homeowner approval.Developers say the current law has led to "frivolous" lawsuits that have all but halted condominium development in the state.

Pressing for legislation allowing such lawsuits is probably your best recourse. 

Regulations are the kind issued by the executive branch and are no difference in practice than legislative law or case law, which eminate from the legislative and judicial branches of government.If it is something you don't like, then get appointed to your state's real estate commission so you can attempt to change the law in your state.

A lot of folks seem to think that the plan is legislation or something.
