This bill denies equal justice to housing providers by:Forcing landlords to reduce rents by 25% even if a tenant cannot demonstrate a hardship or need.Allowing judges and the court system to set rents and change the rental agreements already in place.Assuming every tenant is facing a hardship related to COVID-19 and must be compensated for this hardship.Protecting nuisance tenants as it does not require tenants to answer an unlawful detainer complaintMandating that rental property owners demonstrate an economic hardship to collect the contracted rent.AB 828 is an unfair attempt to allow the government and the courts to give reduced rent to all tenants even if they have faced no economic hardship, and it provides no safeguards for landlords.As for the taxes, local laws are not state laws and state laws are not feral laws and state to state laws are different.

I want someone who is local whom I can meet face to face and get to know them.

If anything is a change it’s how many, many hosts trusted a company like this in the face of repeated examples that the trust was not reciprocal. 

Unless a ghost slapped you right in the face and told you to leave the property I wouldn't change your plan.

It's unfortunate because there seems to be several things working against them right now:- Some people are afraid to travel - Government restrictions/lockdowns have either prevented travel and/or temporarily prohibited STR like AirBNB altogether- AirBNB unilaterally overrode hosts' strict refund policies and allowed guests to cancel and get all their money back, which in some cases further unfairly impacted the hosts financiallyAs I read that article, and how the people featured in it were faced with less than desirable options (i.e. defaulting, selling, etc), I wondered how many people on BP had encountered similar decisions and decided instead to convert their AirBNB units to long-term rentals and if that was even a viable option for many of these types of properties? 

Will they accept lower if I explain that the ARV and repairs will barely combine to be the purchase price (it does not fit the 70% rule or the 2% rule) 

Find some human reason that makes sense and don't address the face that they might be PITA tenants. 

The idea of shadowing or bird dogging for a while is probably very wise, especially with the amount of uncertainty everyone faces moving forward post COVID.

(sort of like a 1031 but better)Hope that helps  Hello what I meant is when for example make $150,000 at my W2 job, could i live on bare minimum and invest let say $100,000 into real estate per year and only be taxed on $50,000
