Areas with good rental demand or up-and-coming properties could give you more predictable returns.Do you already have a type of property in mind—like single-family homes, or are you considering duplexes, condos, or other types of flips?

I get on avg 800 per month NET income 15- 20% NET (based on cash purchases) on SF, and more on my duplex's.

Once you take over a property as an owner occupant, if it is a single family or condo you can live in it for 1 year and that automatically exempts your unit from rent control.

Hi everyoneIdk how to feel about this.In 2021, I purchased a property that used to be a duplex.

Your new ARV(after repair value) should be supported by an adequate amount of comparable sales in the area(duplex's).

One way that I was able to get into my first property was counting 70% of the rental income of the other unit on a duplex.

One more tip hit town homes and condo communities in the area.

And you can 1031 exchange the investment side into another duplex. 

The honest answer is to be on the safe side, the property you're referring to: GC524550 2811 SW ARCHER RD, #V-177, GAINESVILLE, FL 32608 in the Brandywine neighborhood is one of the condos that are not in a good financial situation.

I decided to stay local with my investing for now and focus on condos/townhomes or live in flips.
