Governor Brown signed an executive order because of the wild fires last year stating landlords in Ca cannot raise the rents more than ten percent in a calendar year.

The quoted figures I've found elsewhere, referring to more geographically divergent locations, vary so incredibly wildly (3% to 30%!?)

But in 2017 we switched our model to buy and hold (mostly selling using lease options) in Arizona with a partner.Here is our units by year including primary residences:2010 - 2 (primary, 1 rental)2011 - 2 (primary, 1 rental)2012 - 2 (primary, 1 rental)2013 - 3 (primary house hack, 1 rental)2014 - 15 (primary house hack, 1 rental, 12 unit commercial building)2015 - 15 (primary house hack, 1 rental, 12 unit commercial building, 3 flips) 2016 - 22 (primary house hack, 12 unit commercial building, 3 duplexes 1 SFR (out of state), 6 flips, 1 sale on seller financing)2017 - 51 (primary house hack, second primary with house hack, 12 unit commercial building, 3 duplexes 1 SFR (out of state), 6 flips, 1 sale on seller financing, 17 buy and hold lease options)2018 - 74 (primary house hack, second primary with house hack, 12 unit commercial building, 3 duplexes 1 SFR (out of state), 29 buy and hold lease options 1 triplex, 19-unit Mobile home park)2019 - 97 (major primary house hack 7, second primary with house hack, 12 unit commercial building, 2 SFR (out of state), 54 buy and hold lease options 1 triplex, 1 duplex, 18-unit Mobile home park)As of the end of January 2020 - 115 (With the addition of the 6-plex, new mobile home park, and the other 2 single family homes in North Carolina)Our plan by the end of the year is to add 19 more units to the mobile home park, buy an additional 6 units in Arizona, and 21 more properties in North Carolina.We have felt some growing pains, but for the most part, it has been a wild ride.

,I have taken some courses on Multifamily investing, I have read some worth-wild articles and postings, attended a few webinars, as well as read into deeper Q&A forums.

The moderate ones just want a little tax revenue and a few mild regulations like no hosting wild orgies after 10 pm.

There is a great group that meets the 2nd Monday of every month at Buffalo Wild Wings on 44th out by Rivertown.  

I want this thread to be about wild ideas that can help us all in our search for a steal of a deal.The best I can come up with is writing letters in bright pink envelopes addressed to good properties that arent for sale!

The one or two I've talked to so far do not want to tie themselves down to "cost per square", so it's been hard to get anything more than a wild number of approx $150k for a 1700 to 2000 sq new home built.How could I get a resale figure...I guess, call realtor's in the area and ask going price for houses in that size currently?

I hope you keep at it and become wildly successful. 

Wild statement.
