This happens in lots of things in life - they just run their course.So I say give the new format a chance - I think it's going to be great. 

the consensus among most of us in this thread is that, regardless of our viewpoint on the proposed rules, they have a pretty low chance of actually being implemented.  

For a first deal it felt safer than a single family rental due to the fact that while possible, the chances of all units being vacant at the same time is much less than a single family being vacant.

In the near future id like to move out and purchase another similar property but I'm trying to maximize my income and property performance before hand to give myself the best chance at qualifying for a fha loan 3.5% down.

Investors must use cash to even have a chance.

Investor sends me "wholesale" property, when they ignored the same address I sent to them direct without all the mark ups a week before and a "wholesaler" remarketed to them as a "wholesale" deal.  1/2 the time not even under contract, so the chances of that deal blowing up are good.After today, your agents will be required to have some kind of agreement with you before they show you homes. 

There is always that chance.

Are you a section 8 buyer by any chance?  

There's a very real chance that you spend the necessary make ready expenses and have negative "real" cashflow for a year or two on the next one as well.

There's a very good chance the issue(s) you face have already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.
