@Anastasia StalYou might want to look at marei.org. it is the rei site for kansas city and many times they talk about landlord laws and other legislative issues around the Kansas City area for investors.

Thus, it is not surprising that legislation is very restrictive to rent-by-owner short-term rentals that directly compete with the hotels/casinos.If you end up choosing that route in Vegas and want to explore short-term rental professional management options, feel free to direct message me or give me a ring.

Further, even if they were considered, many times there are opposing forces involved in getting the required acts approved and some provisions hit the cutting room floor while others are wedged in to make a particular group more likely to push the legislation through.

Like I said, title co data was 100% accurate when I was farming it as they were accessing public data, not some aggregation as RealtyTrac.We've both expressed our views on the subject so let's let the community  make up their own minds.

My experience is that they make up exorbitant fees to pad their profit.

Do MA legislators *want* landlords to lose money? 

People have gone into great depth about the various tax benefits of different avenues (RE vs 401(k)/IRA vs Roth vs life insurance, etc.)What people haven't mentioned is that these are all based on legislation, written by politicians.

Depending on the make up of your fund, I would most likely recommend them.

Many of these unlicensed brokers simply make up figures that sound good but cannot back them up.Unlicensed brokers generally have no insurance.

The hotel lobby was very pleased by the passage of this bill and it appears that one legislator, the bill sponsor, has an interest in some hotels. http://alextimes.com/2017/02/general-assembly-progresses-on-area-airbnb-regulations/Opinion article on page 18 of pdf.http://alextimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/02_23_2017-Alex_Times_Final-Web.pdf
