Several new and old council members were elected last November, and they are already busy trying to make their mark on the city. Their current target is the rent stabilization ordinance passed last year to help the over-burdened renters in Salinas. What is rent stabilization, and how does it work? Does it even work? Oz tries to answer those questions and comes up with a unique solution that would make Salinas more resilient to gentrification and more attractive to businesses.

He breaks down the pros and cons of fixer-uppers vs. move-in-ready homes and what your choice says about your lifestyle. Plus, Justin unpacks a proposed California rent control bill that could slash annual caps and end exemptions for single-family homes and explores how property management might be the secret weapon to surviving the housing cost crunch.

Washington State Sen. Emily Alvarado, D-Seattle, is facing an ethics complaint for allegedly violating laws regarding her role with Enterprise Community Partners, a group lobbying for the bill she sponsors, Engrossed House Bill 1217. Conservative activist Glen Morgan of We The Governed recently filed the complaint, alleging that Alvarado violated state laws (RCW 42.52.020 and RCW 42.52.110) due to her role as Vice President. He argues that Alvarado has a conflict of interest, as legislators are prohibited from holding certain positions with organizations that engage in lobbying.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 289, published last December 18, 2012. Coming to us from London, Max Keiser joins Jason Hartman for a fast-paced interview about what is going on in our world with GDP, the debt ceiling and debt loads, gold and silver markets, and currency collapse. Max is the host of “The Oracle with Max Keiser” for BBC World News and the author of the Keiser Report. Jason and Max discuss how long the world governments can put off the inevitable collapse of the fiat money produced by the central banks. Max talks about the various currencies around the world and which countries are set to implode. Other topics that Max covers are countries that are losing their sovereignty, basically being held hostage and managed by entities outside of their own country, such as the IMF and Central Banks, how bonds play a role in this issue, and the edging toward a global tax. Max talks about the many ways that the world is being led into a globalized currency, which is not a theory, but happening in real time. In addition to hosting the show and authoring the Kesier Report, Max is a blogger for the Huffington Post, and he has also presented features for the “People and Power” new magazine series on Aljazeera English. Max Keiser is the creator, co-founder and former CEO of HSX Holdings/Hollywood Stock Exchange, later sold to Cantor Fitzgerald. He is also the co-founder of HSX films that went on to make almost a dozen films, including "Mixed Signals," "Six-String Samurai," "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81," and "girl." The company was then sold to Ignite Entertainment/Lionsgate. Max designed, scoped, and built the Hollywood Stock Exchange with Michael Burns. Max was awarded a US patent (number 5950176) for the 'Virtual Specialist Technology" on which the Hollywood Stock Exchange operates. He created virtual securities; MovieStocks, and StarBonds and created the first fully convertible virtual currency, the Hollywood Dollar. The Hollywood Stock Exchange remains the highest volume stock exchange in the world.

It was a short one but a good one with Card DeSharks, we analyze the difference between tariffs and rent control and also why is women's basketball not in primetime?
Setting the bar at a certain level is similar but also different when looking at these tariffs vs. what places like Saint Paul are doing with rent control. We break that down and how some of the manufacturing in the US differs from countries such as China and their manufacturing of the iPhone.
Jason Hartman explains the multidimensional aspects of real estate investing, including income, depreciation, equity, appreciation, and leverage. He emphasizes the importance of understanding both macro and micro markets when selecting properties. The podcast covers topics like interest rates, rental market trends, and adapting to changing market conditions. Key takeaways include the benefits of fixed-rate mortgages, raising rents annually, and leveraging expert knowledge when investing in different cities. The show also touches on international investing and recommends the book "Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin and Heidi Toffler for insights on future economic trends affecting real estate. Unlike stocks, bonds, mutual funds or commodities such as precious metals like gold and silver – real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class. The multi-dimensional nature of income property makes it extremely profitable in changing ways based on varying market conditions. This is a wonderful thing because investors can profit even seemingly “bad” markets. For example, when financing becomes expensive (low housing affordability rates) or difficult to qualify for (low capital liquidity) it can create excellent opportunities to increase rents. When mortgage rates are low and qualifying is easy it can spur terrific appreciation. You can win either way so long as you adapt your strategy based on economic realities.

Kimberly, a seasoned property manager with 26 years of experience, shares insights on effective tenant management. She emphasizes thorough tenant screening, including credit checks and reference calls, and advocates for detailed lease agreements with house rules to educate tenants. Kimberly prioritizes showing properties before vacancy, ensuring minimal downtime. She also stresses the importance of clear communication, regular inspections (within legal limits), and proactive maintenance. In California, she advises focusing on single-family homes due to tenant protection acts on multifamily properties. Her strategies aim to minimize evictions and maintain positive landlord-tenant relationships. #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyManagement #TenantScreening #LandlordTips #RealEstateAdvice #RentalProperty #InvestmentProperties #CaliforniaRealEstate #EmpoweredInvestor #RealEstateTips Today's sponsor https://JasonHartman.com/Connected offers real estate investors access to Connected Investors' PiN (Property Intelligence Network) software.

"The effects were immediately seen by everyone and they were all beneficial," says the former vice president of Argentina's central bank.
Greg Brady, host of Toronto Today focused in on Toronto, which is still reeling from the massive snowfall that's buried the city. Many residents are upset about snow removal and the fact that plows seem to just move snow around instead of actually removing it. One city councillor is wondering whether the city's strategy plan is to just wait until Spring. Next, Dr. Deborah Birx was on with Piers Morgan saying that during the Covid-19 pandemic, those in charge were constantly saying "follow the science & the data" and it turns out, they were not as she explained. Also, anyone who rents or perhaps has a place to rent out will be very interested in our next story. Varun Sriskanda, with Small Ownership Landlords of Ontario, joins us now to share his insights on rent control and the frailty of the Landlord and Tenant Board. Lastly, back to the deluge of snow and speak with someone who can truly compare how well city crews removed snow in years past, versus now. David Miller, former Toronto mayor, joins us now for some armchair quarterbacking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Is rent control good or bad? As a property owner, I loudly say, it's bad! It's bad because the government shouldn't say that I, the property owner, have to lower my price. The price is determined by the market. If the guy across the street from me charges more and people pay it, why shouldn't I charge more? And by the same token, if I can't get renters, I have to lower my rent. In this episode, I do a deep dive into why the market should determine the price, not the government, and why any attempt to manipulate the market by the government is doomed to fail.

A proposed Washington state bill aims to cap rent increases at 7% annually while restricting late fees and deposits, but critics argue it could worsen the housing crisis. Proponents claim the measure would combat homelessness by keeping rents affordable. However, opponents, including landlords and developers, warn that rent control discourages investment, stifles development, and exacerbates housing shortages, driving rents higher. This aligns with broader failures of similar policies in high-cost cities where restrictive zoning and misguided regulations have fueled unaffordable rents. Critics also highlight the absence of protections for landlords, who still face unpaid rents and operational constraints. By targeting property owners with increased controls, the legislation reflects a larger trend of government overreach, further undermining Washington's already struggling housing market. Without addressing underlying issues like zoning and overregulation, this bill is unlikely to achieve its goals, instead driving more landlords out of the state and exacerbating the problem.

Solidarity is stronger than gravity—and stronger than the corporate greed that's invaded every aspect of American life. But building it is hard. It requires empathy, commitment, courage, and clarity of vision. From years of experience, I can tell you that housing advocate Tara Raghuveer has done something remarkable. Starting with her neighbors in Kansas City, Mo., she created a tenants union that's become a leader in the fight for better regulations, protections, and rights for renters. This year she expanded her reach, launching the Tenant Union Federation to help others across the country build power, and forging a movement of working-class solidarity changing the way Americans think about rent, housing, and our basic rights. Her organizing could impact millions and shift our national conversation about housing. And just as important—Tara has helped thousands embrace the power that's available to all of us through solidarity.

Everyone is awaiting the 2024 presidential election results—especially homebuyers. As mortgage rates rise again, potential homebuyers are sitting on the sidelines, hoping that the next president could make it a little easier to purchase a house. Is this housing market slowdown just a temporary phenomenon before the biggest political event of the past four years, or could this last well into the winter? We're covering it on this headlines show! Could a “Trump trade” push bond yields up and mortgage rates as well? Some economists are betting that a Trump presidency would mean higher mortgage rates. We'll also talk about California's Prop 33, which, if passed, could allow more stringent rent control on landlords in the Golden State. With rising costs for property owners, could this lead to landlords selling their rentals to escape California's tenant-friendly laws? If you want to escape the election cycle, we've got you covered. Our last story touches on the best companies for career growth, and if you're trying to up your skills (and your income) next year, applying for a job at any of these companies could help you! In This Episode We Cover The pre-election housing “slowdown” and why many homebuyers are pausing on purchasing A new mortgage rate update and what's causing rates to rise back to seven percent The “Trump trade” and why economists are worried it could push bond yields up California's newest rent control proposition and what it means for landlords in the state The top companies for career growth in the United States (grow your income!)

A new proposition for rent control is on the ballot in California. Proposition 33, if it passes, would expand rent controls to include single-family homes and newer apartments. Many cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, already limit the amount a landlord can raise the rent each year — but for nearly 30 years, California has imposed limits on those limits, via a law known as Costa-Hawkins. That law states that cities cannot set rent control on single-family homes or apartments built after 1995. And landlords are free to set their own rental rates when new tenants move in. Tenant advocates have been fighting Costa-Hawkins for years, but so far, without success. They tried to overturn it with ballot measures in 2018 and 2020. Lawmakers also tried with legislation. While those efforts failed, Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 signed a law limiting annual rent increases statewide to 5% plus inflation. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, nearly 30% of California renters spend more than half their income on rent — which is higher than in any other state except Florida and Louisiana. But, is rent control the answer? There have been studies that show the negative side effects of rent control, but the Journal of Housing Economics recently published a review of 112 rent control studies, and the results are eye opening, or at least they should be.

Today, we take a closer look at Prop 34, which takes aim at how revenues earned through a federal drug pricing program are spent by a very specific number of providers. On the surface it seems like a healthcare prop, but underneath it all is a proxy war over rent control. Reporter Aaron Schrank, who has been covering Prop 34 for NPR member station KCRW in Los Angeles, helps us understand what's at stake.

For nearly 30 years, the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act has limited how far local governments can take rent control policies. This year, Proposition 33 asks California voters if they'd like to remove those limits. While nothing happens overnight, if Prop 33 passes, it could open the door for cities to control rents on any type of housing – including single-family homes and newer apartments. KQED housing reporter Vanessa Rancaño joins us to explore the issues.

Zihao Wang, CEO at Motiva Holdings, discusses their value-add multifamily investment strategy and portfolio growth. They focus on both Southern California and other markets such as the Texas Triangle and the Midwest. In Southern California, they target two types of value-add plays: properties with mom and pop owners who haven't raised rents due to rent control, and properties with sophisticated operators who have already added value but still have rental upside. Zihao explains how rent control affects their strategies and the challenges of re-tenanting properties. He also discusses their capital raising approach, return projections, and the benefits of investing in different markets. Sponsors: Altra Running Apartments.com
