I live in Tacoma, WA…a lot of folks don’t want to deal with having to learn the local housing laws.

Suzanne, This is impressive - love to see deals being made in my local market.

I was working with a local credit union who pulled out at the last minute.

You can get that from your local S8 office.

However, if the owner lives in Cuyahoga County or a contiguous county, the owner may be listed as the local agent in charge.

Local real estate broker How did you finance this deal?

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.

However, it wouldn’t affect investments made indirectly through a local company in Europe.That said, I believe it would still be possible to invest strategically to mitigate the impact of such regulations.

There are many people on this site pushing those locations that have not historically kept up with inflation.Btw I advocate all newbies start local even if their local market has not kept up with inflation.  

I'd highly recommend attending some local reia meetings.
