Is Iowa Landord Friendly?
Hello There,
I stumbled upon BP while researching properties and buy/rent scenarios online, and allow me to thank everyone here for their contributions on this amazig site.
I plan on buying a property to live in somewhere close the the Iowa City (State of Iowa) area, but I intend to stay in it for around 2 years then rent it out. After reading several articles about being a land lord, many of them caution against renting out in a tenant-friendly state.
I am trying to determine what kind of state Iowa is. I know the property taxes are some of the highest in the nation, but I am not sure about laws governing the tenant/landlord relationship (evictions..etc).
Any people who own property in Iowa out there? What are your views?
If not, can you point me to resources that can help answer my question?
Thanks a lot,
Faisal
