You're totally right to want clarity on all the layers of regulation because they will affect your bottom line.Rent stabilization is the biggest thing to watch.

That same approach now guides how I underwrite deals, build partnerships, and prepare for acquisitions in this cycle.I’m especially interested in connecting with others who are underwriting deals in these markets or navigating today’s capital environment.

Going further afield, areas like the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, Panama City Beach or Destin in Florida, Flagstaff or Prescott in Arizona, and parts of Northern Georgia and Western North Carolina all offer strong STR demand, appreciating home values, and generally landlord-friendly environments.

Hey everyone!I am putting together a short term rental in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  The entire property is fenced.  However, there is a pool on the property that is not fenced separately.  The city code indicates you...

These options can help you get started without tying up too much capital, especially important if you plan to make improvements or furnish for STR/MTR.Next, get familiar with local zoning laws, HOA rules, and STR/MTR regulations in the area you’re targeting—these can vary significantly by city and even by neighborhood.

If the deal still works, great — but that’s the stress test I’d run in this environment.

I want to share a strategy I’m using to generate cash flow in today’s high interest rate environment.

You're not alone — it's definitely a tough environment right now to make deals pencil out on paper, especially if you're running strict buy box filters.

Quote from @Charles Perkins: Pierce County regulations passed in 2023.Late fees for Pierce County are capped at 1.5% of monthly rent with a maximum of $75/month.A landlord must allow security deposit to be spread over a period of 3-6 months.  6 months for a 1 year lease.The pet deposit can be no more than 25% of the month's rent.You will also want to know the laws under RCW 59.18 for Washington State.Thanks but when I saw that and dug further it looked like that was Tacoma specific not Pierce Country.  

Hey BP community,I’m currently based in Los Angeles, working toward my real estate license, and focused on learning and executing creative deal structures particularly seller financing, and subject-to strategies.I know the LA market is competitive, expensive, and constantly evolving, which makes me curious:What is actually working for you in this environment when it comes to getting deals done creatively with little or no upfront capital?
