Are you buying real estate to have a 2nd or 3rd job if so take the time to learn the laws and regulations that go with running your real estate.

Regulations will prohibit you from certain tasks, which you seem to have named the main issues like discussing rent and executing leases. 

I do know people tend to overreact to proposed changes and government regulation.

Either by law or regulation, a reverse mortgage lender will generally not give more than 54% of the value of the property when they write the mortgage.

That is why we decided to go big and launch our first Regulation D, Rule 506(c) fund for accredited investors so we can purchase them at better prices and escape the retail bidding wars that have caused most of our bids from last year to not be awarded. 

@Brigitte Beauchat you'll have to look at your state's laws in regards to the regulations of doing so but I think you may be getting too clever in what you're trying to do.

I'm looking for an SEC-savvy attorney to help me ensure we stay on the right side of SEC regulations as we raise private equity for our Arizona-based real estate development company.

If tenant wants to break lease depending on what is left of the lease you could have her pay an early termination look at the original lease and follow your local regulations. 

Hi Matt, At this point in that area long term I would be cautious of STRs, San Diego will continue to try to regulate STRs.

It is possible to find a "flexible" lender but lenders are very regulated...even hard money lenders.
