Thanks so much @Moises Mari From What I understand From you is, that every house in Newark is subject to rent control if they recorded the rent’s with the county, and even if I buy it vacant or I am doing cash for keys with the existing tenant I cannot ask for the market rent with the new tenants? The Reason I am asking is, I came across a guy wanna sell his 3 family in Newark, the house Is In overall good condition, although the price is below market price The rent roll is very low that I wouldn’t cash flow much

 Sound interesting. what program? 

Thanks for following up @John Errico

It's 1 in Newark and 1 in east orange and i am looking to wholesale it  

Thanks @BrianPulaski

you mention that you can add like partner approval 

Worst came to worst you have to show something to prove you are right like you gotta have a partner in place to say that no, or just say that's the story?
