Regulated by Federal or individual states?

Our regulations are extremely pro tenant so we react immediately when rent is not received in full on the 1st.

I am now doing my due-diligence on freaking rentals of all things (totally worth just buying in this type of market here in the DMV, as tenants should NOT have to do their due-diligence because there should be regulations and enforcement of those regulations I cannot believe how crummy the DMV area is when it comes to high priced rentals with sub-par quality and service ugh).Anyways if anyone knows anything about Platinum Properties DMV aka http://platinumproperties.co/ please let me know before my fiancé makes a rash decision (sadly, he doesn't always listen to me which is why I'm asking here lol ... it's a reoccurring problem).Thanks

If you hold beyond these time frames, the compounded impact is exponential.Some investors combine cost segregation with bonus depreciation and they don't pay taxes for many years, they reinvest those savings and drive their after-tax returns up.The tax code is designed to stimulate commerce and this treatment gets investors to transact (which generates income for brokers, inspectors, appraisers, agents, title companies, attorneys, contractors, engineers, regulators...the list goes on).

@Adam Juodis - They have to be structured for State and local laws, and I would recommend starting with a State-specific lease agreement (don't get a free one online - those are never up-to-date with regulations), and then potentially speaking with a local lawyer (esp. if you're in a rent control city).

Keep in mind every city/suburbs may have regulations (or new ones) in regards to short term / vacation rentals so you need to have multiple exit strategies if you decided to go into this.Where's your condo at? 

Chet, we selected the TIC due to 1031 monies and IRS regulations.

Local and regional sign regulations will usually be much more restrictive than zoning especially for signage unrelated to the business at that location. 

Read through treasury regulations pertaining to RE tax.

We also had the hurdle f loan amounts under $50K which no one seems to like to do because of the regulations and fees being too high of a % of the loan amount.
