I teach landlords across the state on behalf of various sheriff's departments on landlord-tenant law, so I can firmly say the restrictions are minimal.

Under Oregon law, landlords may not raise rent more than once every 12 months, and the maximum allowable increase is determined by the lesser of 7% plus the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or a percentage set by state law.""

And Oklahoma did pass laws a few years ago regarding wholesaling.

I believe there were some laws that were changed during Covid regarding the type of workers that need to work at these facilities which increased operating cost significantly.

Knowledge is key, so familiarize yourself with your state's laws regarding wholesaling.

@Tomer YeshayahuThe Midwest checks every box you mentioned, offering landlord-friendly laws, Republican-leaning areas, strong population and job growth, and plenty of properties around the $100K range before renovations, which makes it one of the best regions in the country for BRRRR, fix-and-flip, and long-term rental strategies.

I’m not familiar with Texas law, but I doubt merely having a contract allows you to record something.

I would like to hear the pushback on why not to invest in Texas as it is becoming one of the best places to buy a house or become a landlord with new laws and Etc. 

@Leonardo Martinez you might get some specific San Francisco help here but the laws in your area are so specific you probably should get a lawyers advice.

For the amount of people living in the unit/house/etc. you should check with the city/state/local laws for this since that will be your backing to say yes or no.
