Rent control may prevent you from selecting the best tenant, limit your ability to evict non-performing tenants, and not allow you to increase rents fast enough to keep pace with inflation.I live in Las Vegas, and I will compare the environment for investors here versus California.Rent control: NoneTime to evict: 20 to 40 daysNo state income taxes.Pro business and pro landlord environment.Low operating costs (low property taxes and insurance)We have completed over 90 1031 exchanges, most of which were from California.

Different environment down there.

Quote from @Danny Gallagher: Thanks so much, Patricia — I really appreciate you taking the time to share that.That’s super helpful to know about Marco Island being more flexible on STR regulations.

I have had one for about 6 months then we ended up changing to LTR because of city regulations. 

Hey everyone 👋As investors, adapting to market cycles is key — especially when financing gets tighter.In a high-rate environment, creativity beats hesitation.Would love to hear: how are you adjusting your funding strategies this quarter?

Brokering without a license, fraud, deceptive trade practices, and non disclosure see, to be the weapons of choice by regulators. 

For me, the biggest challenge lately has been, financing deals in today’s lending environment / finding reliable contractors / scaling property management systems, pick one that fits your own experience.I’ve found that focusing on, brief tip or lesson learned, e.g., building strong lender relationships or creating repeatable rehab systems, has helped move things forward, but it’s definitely a constant process.Curious, given your background in funnels and lead systems, what’s been the most effective strategy you’ve seen investors use to consistently find quality deals?

Quote from @Jason Wray: Alan,Out of curiosity if you are a realtor who is offering these rates and terms because typically you cannot market these rates without having an issue with (TILA) or having an issue with Trigger terms under Regulation Z.

You need to check with local regulations - especially your township/city.

I’ve seen terms all over the place lately — anywhere from 10–14% interest with points upfront.For investors who’ve used bridge or hard money loans recently, what’s been your experience in this rate environment?
