When they cannot remove the tenants they can’t fix the units.It is also an overreach, what the city could start with is helping the landlords deal with their tenants, perhaps starting some sort of arbitration system.

If someone was building their home new (or major reno) for the first 5 months of the year and then places the property into service in June, does the first 5 months of contractor work (building the new home) count towards the calculations or does the timeline only start after the home is put into rental service?

It was fantastic for networkingI don’t know for sure, but it seems like at around the same time that BiggerPockets started hosting its own conferences and advertising boot camps and such that it became harder and harder to find where on the website that you could find local meetups.This morning I searched the website to try to find where local meetups were posted on the website and it took me between 5 and 10 minutes to find it.

This is the perfect place to start learning and building connections for your real estate journey.

Hey Hughston, start by connecting with the locals in your chosen market.

The agency thing MUST be sorted right from start, that's clear. 

Wow, wish you had started this in San Diego.

Eventually their rentals will start to turn a taxable profit and those losses can be “unsuspended”.  

As such, I just enrolled in the program and am starting tomorrow.

I would start pitching to friends and family and then join a local RE meetup group to get to know people.
