Tony,Thank you but been there, done that and no interest in taking it any further.Dave/Dan, I'll take that under consideration but I don't think they're warm up to my first piece of proposed legislation on gang violence, known as the "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out Bill".

At the time the legislation was enacted, only homeowners with adjusted gross income less than $110,000 and who itemize their deductions are eligible to benefit.

There has been one development since I first posted this article and that was Chris Dodd first denying, then admitting he wrote the AIG bonuses into the bailout legislation and admitting that one member of the Obama administration was involved but refuses to name who that member was.

Maybe something new about Maryland laws, Are they one of the states trying to screw investors with new legislation?

They're using taxpayer dollars to buy stocks after using legislation to devalue it.

I've also learned from what may be the only STR company in Chattanooga that East Ridge is in the process of enacting their own short term rental legislation.

Some folks look at commercial buildings as 5+ unit apartment buildings or a warehouse or something like that while some lenders and Dodd Frank legislation look at a simple, single family residential that's non-owner occupied as a commercial dwelling because it generates income. 

I believe that when you buy right, you can invest profitably in any market, at any point in a cycle, with any pending legislation.

Changes in the European legislation, consequent housing crisis, and demographic challenges allowed real estate crowdfunding to grow even further.

@Brett Hearn Here in Canada we don't have legislation similar to Dodd-Frank, but I do take some of the consumer protection steps that are recommended in that act.
