I hope you will press through the challenges and reach your success.

A couple years ago there was a change in the guard in the Utah AG's office which led to a significant crackdown and major change to how seminar and telemarketing companies operated, but there are still plenty out there.I would have to do some digging to find it, but I recall reading a press release, it had to be 2013 or 2014, where the FTC issued a statement about these companies saying something like "You can sell whatever you want, to whoever you want, for whatever price or profit you want, as long as the person knows what they are getting and are willing to pay for it, and agree to the terms you outline". 

Just be sure and account for these factors.I suspect you'll be hard pressed to fix and flip an apartment building, or even a tri or quad, in a few months.

There are lots of people jumping in these days who think owning a 4 plex is like owning a printing press for money.

Location plays a role for sure, but amenities (i.e. pool, hot tub, volleyball, tennis courts, golf carts, etc.) and other nontangibles (i.e. water views) are all factored into the equation.Build the picture of income expectation through multiple sources (local PMs, rental history, and AirDNA) to give yourself the most confidence to press forward. 

Most of the media is saying property owners lost bigtime in that the moratorium wasn't immediately overturned (Associated Press, NPR, Reuters, etc).

@Albert H Shin Looks like press board which is just sawdust and wood chips glued into a cheap "board".

Chicago is a huge market, and so small areas of the city can get a lot of press.

Here are the basic stats on single-single family homes sales for Dec. 2016 for the City of Austin and the Greater Austin Area.Here are excerpts of from a recent press release from the Austin Board of REALTORS®:“The Central Texas housing market is slowly beginning to align with long-term historical trends.

I think the only thing you are missing is, if nobody is bothered by the transactions then nobody presses charges?
