That being said I'm highly supportive on affordable housing through the permitting of more units for supply to meet demand, rather than through artificial rent controls.

Thank you for your advice and support.

I searched: 'unvaccinated people are dying faster' and got pages of results that do not support your assertion.I don't want this to go political so let's stay on topic.

Thank you everyone for the supporting words.

Absolutely, there are members of congress with self-directed accounts, and the proposed legislation is certainly not universally supported.

You'll find it's a small community of solid people, who generally support each other :) Congrats on the success so far, and with your mentality and apparent work ethic, I'm sure you'll continue to succeed! 

When we closed, I hand delivered a pre-written letter to both of them detailing who I was, the rental rates the comps supported and gave them a choice to either break their lease early, sign an early renewal (their lease don't expire until 12/31) at a lower than market rate, or just ride out the rest of the lease and move in the dead of winter.

The facts in this case do not support intent.1.

I'll keep it short and sweet, I wanted to grow a RE portfolio to support my family.

Lots of families like to stay there because that's where they were born/raised and that's where their supports are.
