STACEY JOHNSON-COSBY RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL
RENTAL INSPECTIONS THIS TIME IN ST JOSEPH
Stacey Johnson-Cosby is a local real estate investor, landlord and Realtor. She has been working hard for many years to help shape area housing policy while at the same time protecting our industry. Every property owner and landlord in the metro owe her a huge thanks.
The St. Joseph City Council is looking at a voluntary rental inspection program after hearing the findings from the voluntary rental inspection committee, and subsequently directing city staff to draft an ordinance. The Council held an open work session Monday, January 28th to discuss the proposed ordinance. Some property owners had concerns that it was a preliminary step toward a mandatory program and argued their voices were being ignored. A rental registration program has also been discussed so that the city would know which properties are rental. This step could require a representative party of the rental property to live within 40 miles of St. Joseph.

SEEKING PRIVATE MONEY? WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN’T POST ON FACEBOOK In January, we had several questions posted to our Facebook Group about seeking private money and what was and was not appropriate to post on Facebook. We reached out to the Nation’s Expert Trainer on Private Money for Real Estate Investors, Mr. Alan Cowgill and he sat down to answer our questions. Key take aways from this discussion is that unless you have taken steps to register with the SEC or your state, public advertising for private money to people you do not know should be avoided. So the answer is, not much can be posted on Facebook for the average investor. However, there are steps that can be taken that are not all that difficult that would allow one to advertise.
