We are talking with a couple of clients about doing build to rent for them right now.

Here in Texas we have deregulated power, so there are a bunch of electric provider (reliant, amigo energy, triangle,ect..)

I have new plumbing and electric done in all of the units one year ago. 55k investment.

Short term, assuming the real estate lobby doesn't sue this to keep delaying/appealing, once it goes into effect there will be no more broker fees paid by tenant *unless they hire the broker*Some long term effects I can predict already: - Landlords now having to absorb broker fees will bake this into the rent (e.g. how "no fee" units typically are priced a little higher than other units) - Real estate board will require another document (or checkbox) for tenants to sign stating that they're hiring the listing broker and responsible for compensating them for their fee *if* they apply and are approved- Regular New Yorkers will have an even harder time to find an apartment because you cannot legislate/regulate away a housing crises...

I’m a bit of a nerd with an analytical streak, attempting to break out of my shell and be more social—so if you see me in real life, get ready for a nerd trying to be outgoing!

The concept of the Housing Authority running out of money never even occurred to me!
