I've strictly stayed in the investment space up until just recently where I've begun to lessen the time in my W2 for Real Estate.

Not all CPA agrees because the addition has not been placed in service, but we have to take that position since the inception of the new tangible property regulation and had no issues.   

If you're looking in one specific town or county, make sure to look specifically into local regulations. 

Link to it (and lots of other good info) in this article, sorry couldn’t find a link to the actual video: https://www.coloradoindependent.com/165168/fractured-boulder-fracking-moratorium-regulations whether or not you believe fracking wells emit carcinogenics or contaminate ground water, these wells are definitely not good to have nearby imo. 

You need to understand the market and in real estate, the related laws, regulations and requirements concerning all aspects of RE.

All states have regulations about real estate brokering.

a hard money lender lends based on the value of the property (or "after repaired value"), they will look at your credit, but are not as strict when it comes to your personal credit as, say a bank would be.Hard money loans aren't designed to be long term, they are for the time to rehab a house and sell it (for a flip) or rehab, put a tenant in it and refinance into conventional (In this case they will be more worried about your credit because they want to make sure you can refinance into a traditional mortgage).Most of the time you will be paying about 4 points and 12-14% interest (at least that's what I normally pay.They are not for Owner Occupied houses (I've never seen a hard money lender that would lend for that anyway), but for investment properties (which makes it a lot easier to foreclose on)andy

CF (Title III) and Regulation A+ (Title IV) also allow for advertising using federal exemptions and sourcing money from all investors.  

As far as your own occupied home, that's where I jump off the train since that is strictly a residential lender issue and my knowledge comes from the commercial side of lending.

Zoning restrictions and regulations keep supply down.
