i has a big rant about this being another reason to get rid of the CFPB at the beginning, but they are simply leveling the field as the government already doesn’t play by those rules.

@Julie Groth You may want to run it by the government entity in charge of regulating manufactured housing which is usually at the state level.

@Cory Hinton real estate is fairly inelastic and thanks to big government it’s only getting more inelastic.

From my very limited knowledge.....No logic....you're dealing with the government after all....does it ever make sense?

That's your risk profile for legal recourse and recovery.As far as any risk profile that you will have for blight violations or quasi-criminal proceedings like property code regulations, you won't be as protected as an individual as you would be in a business entity structure. 

Here in Ontario, Canada we have a standard lease set out by the government.

Look in the southern half of the US: there are tons of great deals that will cash flow a ton, and regulations seem to be much more favorable down south.

In a nutshell – the big government is coming after Real Estate wholesalers :) No this is not a scare gimmick, legislation against wholesaling has been passed already in states such as Illinois & more states are following suit.

It gave me the idea of looking into short term rentals here in DC since it is such a popular tourist destination as well as travel destination for business and government people.

Liberal/socialist policies that favor renters over LandlordsIncreasing taxes and government regulationProperty prices make cash flowing difficultLow-quality rentersOver-crowdingOne natural disaster can shut down the entire stateJust to name a few examples.
