Best to call city hall for the town you are buying in to see what if any rent control rules are in place. see link below if you require additional information and call the Jersey City Landlord Tenant relations office. https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/...Jersey City CPI chart on recommended rent increases: https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server...The state with the highest eviction rate in the country right now is South Carolina. 

One thing to remember is the flipper will have $30k- $40k in financing during flip and closing costs to buy the home then another $25k when they selll so that will play into the numbers that need to be considered. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I currently don’t own any properties but I hope to buy a duplex in the coming months.

On top of that there was an $8,000 tax credit, as an incentive since people weren’t buying.  

In 2022 I purchased a 3-bed/2-bath condo outside San Diego for $535,000 with intentions to buy and hold.

I invest in the Kissimmee area, #1 rule of buying real estate is location. 

@Matt Wan In my opinion, there is never a bad time to buy the right investment property.

I can't remember the cost, not too bad, but no phone callsI sent out 1,000 mailers (letters) I designed in envelopes a week for a couple of years and made a ton of money buying properties using "creative finance" some call subto.

The problem I ran into was that most buyers that wanted to do it, couldn't bridge the equity gap and the sellers needed the equity to go buy the next one.
