What are some "deal-breakers" for you when purchasing an MFR?

Amateur investor here that will hopefully soon be buying my first MFR. I live in Los Angeles and have been quietly searching for the past month or two, and I think I'm starting to find a few that I like.

I wanted to ask though, to the more experienced MFR owners out there.... what are some absolute deal-breakers for you when purchasing an MFR?

Like for example... I can't purchase anything under Rent Control (not experienced enough or ready for potential headaches). 

What about you?

For me, it'll all about the rent it will command. Even if the numbers work out, I try to stay away from very low cost rentals ($450/month and below) because of the typical headaches the renters bring. I've had a few and it always seems like a renter in a $450/month rental wants the until to be brought up to the $700/month range yet still pay $450.
