I’ve heard a little bit about the legislation towards landlords in Seattle and how that’s been tricky for some folks.

While some of this may be threatened by proposed legislation at the moment, especially for IRAs, self-directed investors have generally had the ability to invest into any asset class except collectibles. 

Illinois, (IMHA) for example, maintains such a list so that owners can be contacted directly regarding legislative issues.

I'm excited to see what will happen with the new ADU legislation (accessory dwelling unit) that they passed and how infill developers will be taking advantage of said legislation.

Damn, @Jay HinrichsOregon seems to prudent to assist homeowners sell their property anyway they want to.Love the "right to die" legislation too.Now if you can get the automatic weapons out of the hand of psychologically unstable Oregon people....

“The idea with the new legislation is to streamline the process and get people with illegal suites to come forward and legalize them, now that it’s a lot quicker and easier to do it.”Hayes, who is a landlord himself, was a consultant on the pilot program, and has already reaped its benefits.

Federal legislation is paused (not being enforced by its)  for the $600 threshold. some states have separate legislation from a few years ago where this is still happening though. 

I'm looking to put my first deal together and there's a certain aspect off Quebec legislation I need to know about regarding the need of RBQ#.

The deals legality also might depend on what state this is all in too.The last REI meeting I was at an Attorney and a Investor that understood a new piece of legislation that throws into to question even assignment in the state of Arkansas.

@Matthew Ward, I currently do vacation rentals and I agree with a lot of people here, go for the house hacking route first.STR (Short Term Rentals) are great, but in my experience, you want to get one which the city has already passed legislation on and is open to them.
