- Research consistently shows rent control reduces supply and quality while benefiting incumbent tenants.
- Invest in regulated markets by targeting vacancy turnover, exempt properties, and renovation pass-throughs.
- Model cap rate premiums of 50-150 bps to account for regulatory constraints on income growth.
