That's how you keep prices down, not by putting a gun on landlords headsLandlord would suffer either way but at least prices would be back to fair value and there would be no housing shortage; there wouldn't be ridiculous artificial bubbles like in LA where land is extremely abundant and prices totally disconnected from reality .

We're not building more land and we haven't colonized Mars (yet) <enter Elon Musk>.

Many will sign a lease without reading it properly and end up paying all sorts of ridiculous fees, $75 chimney cleaning fee although they never used the fireplace, $150 carpet cleaning fee for ancient old carpet, etc.    

This is my neck of the woods and price vs. return is ridiculous right now on rental property.

People hear the benefits of MFH and come up with the ridiculous 1000 unit goal when they have not even see if they are borrowing material on their first buy and hold.

Now at this point I was putting out ridiculous offers.

Of course it's ridiculous prima facia, it's not even really worthwhile to posts like this seriously. 

I even had two Nationwide employees admit to me that their income property coverage prices are ridiculously high and advise me, in so many words, to shop around. 

His expense factor was pushing 42%  ridiculous.

Now, let me ask you a question, why would a working professional want to stay in an extremely overpriced city such as LA, NY, SF, or Miami having to pay ridiculous rents and not being able to purchase their own house.
