Unfortunately Good Cause Eviction passed last night in the city of Rochester, NY.I want to thank Council Members Lashay Harris and Michael Patterson for doing the right thing and voting “NO” on this largely performative legislation…that will only TEMPORARILY protect a small handful of city residents living in EXTREME under market rental units…But it will have broad and adverse negative consequences for the WHOLE community.

How about realizing that when you use the current property taxes of a property you are buying to calculate your per door profit that the following year your taxes will reset to what YOU paid for the property and will likely significantly increase your tax expense - which can take you from a positive cash flow to a negative cash flow on a low cash flow property… now you are paying your tenants to live in the property every month out of your W2 income  hoping for an appreciation play until rents hopefully increase.I could go on and on.

No negative action however ridiculous was not stifled, instead it was declared the system need conform to facilitate there whims however ridiculous. 

While I haven't personally experienced any negative impacts from this fraudulent listing, I'm concerned that it could mislead potential renters and cause them financial distress.
