Why You Must Understand Tariffs and Rent Control

In this episode of "One Rental at a Time," we tackle two significant issues that could impact real estate investors: rent control and tariffs. Joined by Casey from Brick by Brick Wealth, we explore the potential consequences of these policies on landlords and the housing market. We discuss the challenges and unintended effects of rent control, especially from a California perspective, and consider how national rent control could reshape the market. We also delve into the implications of tariffs on imports and the broader economy, considering both short-term inflationary pressures and long-term benefits.
