I believe this is more so because of the companies not so much the consumer preference. 

Consumers use these sites to see what's available and what their money can buy.

. - when you combine rent control with the limited rent increases along with the crazy jumps in fees paid for things such as property taxes, trash, and now lead paint inspection (for those like me who have units without young children that is a big jump from zero to whatever), that is the problem that rent control leads to.And imagine you do a real nice rehab to a rental expecting to get a boost in rent, only to discover that rent control might limit that.And I am one to limit increases to existing tenants to be a modest amount; with rent control I would have to take the MAXIMUM legal rent increase every time or else risk falling behind what can be charged as rent down the road.

Also, getting consumer loans shouldn't be a problem as I excellent credit, decent income,large 401K, etc.

Depending on your area this may be difficult and time-consuming. 

Some of the strategies proposed to me are somewhat time consuming but hey, I am not a full time REI yet.
