@Patrick Young If you are investing in condos you need to ensure you understand the condos finances, covenants, rules, and regulations.

It's regulated by the SEC and that's really not something you want to mess around with. 

Doubling rents on long-term tenants may be regulated as well.  

CCED is much more lax with building regulation, but for a variety of reasons didn't pursue anything there at the moment.

First thing you need to do is check with your state landlord tenant regulations and confirm that landlords have the right to demand specific rent payment methods.

The more government regulates the market, the worse outcome will be. 

Code section 643(f) and the underlying regulations give the Treasury authority to treat multiple nongrantor trusts as a single trust if they have a the same primary grantor and beneficiary.

@Matthew Carlson there are a few programs out there but they come with their own regulations.

In the city the regulations are also a risk as you don’t know what the council will do next, and they are extremely tenant friendly.Generally the area is good though, we tend not to be affected by recession as bad as the rest of the country and most areas are safe.

Is there national regulation on this issue or is handled a the state level?
