Local Regulations: How do local landlord-tenant laws, rent control policies, or other regulations affect investment profitability?

Treat it as business relationship where it is mutually beneficial not just some guy you are trying to control and squeeze every bit of "what can you do for me" out of.

It was a cluster of a problem getting one due to circumstances beyond my control but I finally found a good one.

@Saurabh Patel most important - take control of your property and the tenant!

@Deshen TangDo you want to be in control and more active, or completely passive? 

If done this way, the investor could use this as a powerful tax strategy to spread the taxable event over years, lowering the effective tax rate faced from the taxable events.I have heard professionals compare it to an installment agreement, but with more control.

It’s an ideal approach if you’re focused on minimizing risk and maximizing control over your investment.

This strategy requires careful planning, from evaluating potential properties to ensuring that your rehab costs don’t spiral out of control.

However, higher-than-expected costs, contractor expenses, pest control, inflation, or unexpected work can make it untenable to maintain the rental property.What can you do if maintenance is becoming a financial burden?

I join Bigger pocket a few months back when my wife and I decided to no longer allow the Salary bribe control our lives.
