One Possible Way To Resolve Rent Control Debate — Allowing Short-Term Rentals

Affordability has been the biggest buzzword in the multifamily industry in recent months, whether as part of the discussion of priced-out tenants needing affordable units or multifamily building owners looking for ways to recoup development costs.

Could allowing tenants to rent out their apartments by the day or week help solve the problem of affordability, particularly as the state mulls the repeal of Costa-Hawkins, California's law that limits rent control? Pillow co-founder and CEO Sean Conway…

“The casino world is really scratching its head on how to attract millennial clientele. The hotel side is not that hard. They have high expectations, and it can just operate to a higher standard,” JC Hospitality CEO Richard Bosworth said Wednesday at the 2018 National Association of Real Estate Editors conference in Las Vegas. “The casino part is where there is the head-scratching.”

Will Questionable Credit Spoil Real Estate's Restaurant Banquet?

The restaurant industry was the perceived saving grace of shopping centers during the retail apocalypse. When mall owners were faced with the conundrum of how to fill vacant spaces, food and beverage concepts were a viable solution. But now even restaurants are facing a wave of closings due to overexpansion, especially midpriced casual chains like Applebee's and Ruby Tuesday.
