Landlord Law Rating
Score landlord friendliness, property tax burden, insurance costs, and regulatory climate for each market.
Landlord Friendliness Scoring
Not all states treat landlords equally. Some have strong eviction protections, low regulatory burden, and no rent control -- while others make it difficult and expensive to manage rental properties. The landlord friendliness factor lets you rate each market on how investor-friendly its legal environment is, from eviction timelines to tenant protection laws.
- Score landlord friendliness from 1 (hostile) to 10 (very investor-friendly)
- Consider eviction timelines, rent control laws, and security deposit rules
- Factor in local licensing requirements and inspection mandates
- Add notes documenting specific laws and regulations you researched
Tax, Insurance & Regulatory Costs
Beyond landlord laws, the true cost of operating in a market depends on property tax rates, insurance premiums, and natural disaster exposure. These three factors can make or break your cash flow. Score each one separately and weight them according to your tolerance for ongoing operating costs versus growth potential.
- Property tax rate scored relative to home values and income potential
- Insurance cost factor captures premium differences across markets
- Natural disaster risk accounts for flood zones, hurricane paths, and earthquake exposure
- Combined with landlord laws, these four factors paint a full regulatory picture
