Price doubled in a year and exchange rate gained 15% my first hard money loan I made in British Columbia was the same thing..

I started out in high school getting up at 5:00am each morning so I could get to school early to practice my trumpet, I then stayed late to be on student council, I was in the band, a political after school club, I worked two part time jobs, and had a girlfriend.

A City Council and Mayor that allow mobs of activist mobs run wild while decry regular working people.

Pretty much everywhere (at least around here) the process goes something like this: inspectors and permit people need to justify their jobs, so they make the process more difficult than it already is, with added BS that doesn't pass muster with any standard like the IBC or NFPA, the City Council says "Well, they're the experts" and acquiesce, eventually enough contractors start screaming at council members, who direct staff to make changes, who make the 10 page permit process a 9 page process and call it a successful reform 🙄 .

In other words,  SF zoning is really triplex zoning.Of course this is tempered by extremely anti-landlord policies put out by city council over the last 5-7 years.

Seattle leads the way City Council President M.

As many others have said, the City of Seattle and City Council is very much against landlords.

Well, there's always Bitcoin :D.Seriously though - as much as I hate the hair-brained and pandering policies Seattle City Council and other similar governing bodies, I think we as landlords tend to blow the eviction thing out of proportion.

(I will say there does need to be taken into account that our city council & Alachua County in general have a bit of a reputation for overreach in government.

Don’t get me wrong, I think most of the city council are clowns but it takes a heck of a lot more more than stupid economic policies and 6 pages of paperwork to stop me from running my business and making a good living in this city.
