Property taxes could go to ZERO in 2026 but can states actually pull it off?

Several states are proposing major property tax reforms, including plans to eliminate or drastically reduce property taxes for homeowners. In this episode, we break down which states are pushing for it, how they plan to replace the lost revenue, and what it could mean for landlords, investors, and homeowners.

We cover:
• Which states are proposing property tax elimination
• Whether these bills have actually passed
• How schools and local services would be funded
• The impact on home prices and rental markets
• What landlords should be thinking about now

If property taxes disappeared tomorrow, would housing become more affordable or would costs just shift somewhere else?

Is accepting Section 8 tenants a smart move or a costly mistake?

In this video, we break down the real pros and cons of Section 8 housing for landlords, including guaranteed rent payments, inspections, demand, regulations, and potential risks. If you're deciding whether to accept housing vouchers, this will help you evaluate if it fits your rental strategy.

We cover:
• Guaranteed rent payments
• Inspection requirements
• Tenant demand
• Payment timelines
• Common landlord concerns

For years, buyers and landlords have heard the same advice: just wait.
When mortgage rates fall, housing will become affordable again.

But new data suggests that returning to pre-pandemic affordability would require mortgage rates, wages, or home prices to move in ways that are historically unlikely.

In this episode of Landlord Lens, we unpack why the housing market may not be facing a temporary disruption, but a structural shift that’s been building for decades.

Rent control is often sold as a solution to rising housing costs but the reality is more complicated.

In this video, we break down why rent control doesn’t work the way people expect, how it impacts renters and landlords, and why cities keep turning to it despite decades of evidence. From reduced housing supply to unintended consequences that actually raise rents, we take a clear, practical look at what’s really happening.

Whether you’re a renter, a landlord, or just trying to understand the housing crisis, this is a conversation worth having.

Some real estate laws make sense.
Others… absolutely do not.

In this video, we break down 10 of the weirdest real estate laws that still exist, from strange rules around home maintenance to laws that sound fake but are very real. Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, or renter, these are the kinds of laws that make you stop and say: wait… that’s actually a law?

A new right-to-repair law just passed in Duluth, Minnesota and renters could now legally take action on repairs if landlords don’t act.

In this video, we break down the actual law passed in Duluth, how it works, what it allows tenants to do, and what it means for landlords and property managers. We explain:

• What the Duluth right-to-repair law actually permits
• When a renter can demand repairs
• How “repair-and-deduct” works under the new ordinance
• Steps landlords should take to stay compliant and avoid deductions or disputes

This is something every landlord in Duluth (and other Minnesota cities watching) needs to understand before it affects your bottom line.

President Trump is proposing a ban on institutional investors buying single-family homes—but what does that actually mean for landlords, renters, and the housing market?

In this episode of Landlord Lens, we break down:

- What Trump is actually proposing (and what he isn’t)

- How a ban on institutional investors could impact housing supply

- Whether this helps or hurts small, DIY landlords

- The potential ripple effects on rent prices and competition

This isn’t politics for politics’ sake—it’s about understanding how policy changes could affect your rental strategy and long-term investment decisions.

States across the U.S. are moving to regulate AI in housing—and it’s creating serious uncertainty for landlords.

In this episode of Landlord Lens, we break down Trump’s AI moratorium, the DOJ’s new AI litigation task force, and what it all means for rent pricing, compliance, and risk—especially as states target algorithmic pricing tools like RealPage.

Lawmakers say AI regulations are needed to prevent rent-price coordination, discrimination, and reduced competition. Industry groups argue that patchwork state laws slow innovation and raise costs. Meanwhile, landlords are caught in the middle—unsure whether using AI tools creates legal exposure, or avoiding them puts them at a competitive disadvantage.
