Hi Johnny,If you want to know about the foreclosure process and you don't have an attorney to help you, go to the statues that the legislator has created, it's free, read the process, its simply the matter or sending the right letters with the right information. 

The legislation requires the O-Fund set up be a new one (e.g. no repurposing something you've already got), 90% of the monies need to be invested in an O-Zone,  gains must be rolled into an O-Fund w/in 6 months of the gain occurring (ordinary income does not qualify), the O-Zone property needs to be one that is used in a trade or business (which would include rental housing, but not unimproved land).  

A statewide ballot measure is in the works to repeal the restriction, after legislation to do so failed last month.The notice of intent compels the city clerk’s office to prepare a ballot title and summary that could be used when petitions are circulated.

I've also heard about the legislation.

., there was a technical error, and the section of the tax code describing 15-year property (Section 168(e)(3)(E)) was in fact not amended to include qualified improvement property.So for now, strictly-speaking, in 2018, qualified improvement property is regular old 39-year property that is not eligible for bonus depreciation.We do expect that a technical correction to the law will be made, but for now the IRS has actually stated that it cannot guarantee that absent legislative correction it will accept the legislatively intended change in recovery period and bonus eligibility.Anyway, this is neither here nor there since you have stated you are a landlord of residential rental property rather than non-residential real estate.And this does not affect the application of 100% bonus depreciation to both qualifying new and used property place in service after 9/27/17 and before 1/1/23 that @Yonah Weiss pointed out.

However, until then, i don't expect Nova Scotian municipalities will enforce legislation limiting our re-positioning of rental housing - as long as we don't disturb the neighbours and pay the CRA :)Looking forward to any feedback Paul

It seems like the legislation is based around the goal of making the de-lead process easier which in theory will result in more de-leaded homes.

Two years ago legislation was passed and in effect 2018.

Incentives will be enacted legislatively (loyalty is purchased by incumbency)  to encourage home ownership. 

I think ultimately there needs to be some commonplace legislation at the state level to make sure its not just people buying up houses to rent out like hotels willy-nilly, but also that its not infringing on an individual homeowner to rent out a room or apartment in their home.With some 40,000 AirBnBs in Florida generating 10s of millions of tax revenue I don't see how Florida can turn them down.
