Milton Chamberlain Kansas City MO NEW Source of Income Discrimination Ban Ordinance
22 June 2024 | 17 replies
However, older instances are to be considered more holistically, suggesting a more lenient approach to past financial or rental difficulties as time passes.Exemptions and Protections:Certain properties, particularly older houses that cannot easily be brought into compliance with current codes, are exempt from some source-of-income rules, acknowledging practical limitations in applying these rules universally.Landlord Liability:The ordinance provides protections for landlords in terms of reliance on third-party information to reject a tenant, mitigating potential legal risks associated with tenant selection processes.Fair Housing and Legal Compliance:All considerations of prospective tenants' applications must align with fair housing laws and other state and federal legislation, reinforcing the ordinance's compliance with broader legal standards for housing discrimination.
Bret Halsey Where to start my portfolio?

I mentioned KC, because it is a good example of a linear market, one with slow but steady growth, rather than boom and bust and over-reliance on any one industry like tech for growth.Speaking of growth, you're right to look at population trends (inbound and outbound numbers) and rent growth over time.
Sterling Williams A step back to grasp then importance of who you are without tech.

This thread is more of a reminder to myself to not rely on social media or software rather, to learn how to form relationships in person without the reliance of technology and to always remember that this is a business based upon ethics, communication, reliance and execution, not technology.                      
Anthony Gayden Why is Real Estate So Expensive in Canada?

For that, you have to go to the interior - smaller towns, further from the border, more reliance on one industry for their jobs, lots more land to expand into, and so on.That's my take anyway :)*Clarifying my comment on Rent Control:- You can lease out your home/apartment/whatever for as much as you want/whatever the market will bear.- The control is in the increases: those are regulated province wide by the government.
Dustin Keiswetter Investment Property Flip, Boot Tax Question...

There is another perspective that the lack of sufficient volumes of cases and consistent case law and the reliance on qualitative descriptions (like "intent" and "productive use") rather than definitive holding periods and specific investor vs dealer actions have actually muddied the waters for those trying to act with integrity.  
John Horner How can I clear state judgement liens without old owners consent?

@John Horner  you guys have over reliance on attornies in your closing process.WE would be doing this work without an attorney.. actually our title company would handle it for us.. and if they got no where then we go to the state and pound on the door.. the state wants money you have the money.. they should or will take the money.you step in and do the leg work...
Tyler Erickson Millennials aren't buying homes - good or bad?

Now, 10 years late, the youngest baby boomers are turning 60 and the ones who are retirement age have been slow to leave the workforce.There will be an impact when the baby boomer generation fully retires and again when they pass away, but I don't know if that means despair for those of us remaining.With the technological changes where the very core of how we work is changing (people working remote for example and less reliance on a motor vehicle), I think it's really hard to predict doom and gloom.Yes, we will have recessions, but I doubt anything close to what compares to 2008.

A million dollar life insurance policy is pretty amazing if your family is broke, but as investors it's likely that most of us will already leave a significant nest egg behind when we pass, greatly reducing a reliance on an insurance policy.There is nothing wrong with insurance, but people need to stop implying that an overly complicated IB strategy will out earn other investment methods.

The big tach firm's are working on models of other monetization, that's there way forward, how to capture the data and monetize it differently to create relief on reliance of sole monetization from the agent model.
