Do you think your unlicenced, uninsured, amateur would have paid rent when the units could not be rented as an STR.Your "tenant", the person arbitraging, during COVID could potentially not pay claiming COVID impact (and they would not be lying as COVID reduced their STR income) and could potentially be protected from COVID anti-eviction moratoriums.Our market recently passed a STR quota. 

And there was nothing about it being free but when a lit match burns near dry brush, the entire forest will go up in flames.

So, looking for common-ground, I'd say the solutions lie in combining (1) super modest rent stabilization laws that won't handcuff and bankrupt developers and landlords but instead focus on anti-gouging; (2) enhancing rent-assistance programs; and (3) streamlining development, with crackdowns on NIMBYism.    

However, I've noticed that as I share (in story or private message) or "like" more Pro Constitution/Anti Big Government type posts that my engagement goes way down meaning fewer people have my stories come up in their feed, come across my posts, etc. 

I negotiate a higher amount from my tenant/buyer and then pay the homeowner what we agreed.I'm not a licensed agent, nor am I anti-agent. 

I mean, I think make the entire state anti single family is taking it a bit too far but the idea is sound for most the state.

I don't believe BP is anti-wholesalers, not in the least, but there are those who need to get a life and find something better to do like tend to their own shop.

Two weeks ago, I was the lower-class dude that was anti-capitalist and laughed at the idea of real estate all my life..

I swear the constant anti-realtor marketing sure is working.

>>>>What @James Wise said<<<< Get a GOOD Licenced Electrician in there ASAP...And some of those old houses have no fire stops inside the walls, meaning they go up in flames very, very quickly.Make sure the electrician "Pulls the needed Permits" and is licenced and has good references.
