But I am in FL, and Im sure that scares others, but I am not just talking about natural disasters - just general over-regulation. 

Every property is so different and the various codes and regulations are different as well.

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.

And the laws and regulations here are very different, not very strict like the states.Prices are high and rents are low over here.

Both Fort Lauderdale and Pompano have fairly relaxed STR rules and regulations. 

I have to check on codes/laws/regulation, but I know CA is on a high of making thinks convenient to build those at the moment.

The property is a small, recently renovated building with fresh paint and all the necessary tools and equipment for a dental practice.

I know that the regulations in Beverly Hills is "friendlier" to landlords than Los Angeles and I'm exploring the option to convert a multifamily apartment into condos. 

We do long-term rentals and practice BRRRR on every deal.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.
