Be cautious of cities that aren't proactive in job attraction; too much growth can lead to strict building regulations, affecting housing value.Other Factors- Favor cities with a crime index that has consistently decreased over a decade.- For appreciation, I look for a minimum of 2.5% YoY growth in median house values over the past 20 years but I don't use this explicitly in calculations.

Some places look like they are in really nice high-rise buildings with probably really strict rental/leasing terms from the HOA. 

This means you are doing it strictly for the cash flow.If it were me, I would go the ADU route, Rents could be comparable to the condo without the HOA dues (yes higher Cap-Ex but those are long term expenses), and with everything on one property, things are just easier to manage (one mortgage, one property tax bill, one insurance, etc.). 

See the statute to ensure strict compliance.

They are strictly for investment.

Lenders are more strict.
