I live in NYC and started investing in Buffalo a few years back, mainly for the reasons that you mentioned. 

When the rent rates stabilize, I suspect they'll bring it back.I wouldn't try it in a location like Portland, but 99% of the country would be fine with a policy like this as long as it is disclosed and applied equally.Can and should are two different things.You do you, but my advice still stands: be careful when dealing with Fair Housing protected classes.

Well aware of the ins and outs of real estate and different entities. 

@Jill KellerI personally owned and managed several rental properties, mainly one family, 3-families and been advised by a number of attorneys through the years to forget doing LLC's.

Good summary of what your market is looking for but as we all know, each market tends to have its "wish / want" items which differ from market to market.Flow is definitely a selling point but make adjustments come with a cost. 

The market here offers a lot of potential.I highly recommend making a trip here to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and understand where the best opportunities lie.

Mainly the Brokerage is for me just to sell the properties that we fix and flip and save the commission.

network network. be different. see what out there. dont be afraid to take risk and be patient

From there every 20 point increment affect pricing differently.

@Laurence K. maybe it is different in Australia than in Texas.
