Folks,
This is coming to your local town and county.
I saw this happen in Ames, Iowa. They drove out all the mom and pop rentals with all their regulations and all that remains under the city’s rental codes is institutional living.
The market responds to this. A Chinese individual from out of state bought the house across my street, filled it with women and anchor babies. It is one big happy family living there and the city can do nothing.
The city still things they are in control.
So, what can we do? I refuse to sell with a realtor and will find a buyer who understands community and will be proud of the property. I have sold some and financed good individuals in the past and will continue to do so.
Why have my money in an institution in New York? I can own contracts for deed and invest in the Kingdom, in individuals.
Some are rather interesting:
