Any action in your market regarding these rules/laws etc. ? 

I think demand is decent.If you're looking in a flood zone you'll definitely want to understand the FEMA 50% rule.

So, for a $2,500 rent with a 3x income rule, you’d expect their combined gross income to be $7,500/month.As for utilities being included in the rent, some landlords in NYC do lower the income requirement slightly (e.g., to 2.5x or 2.75x) since tenants won’t have additional out-of-pocket utility costs.

@Dennis KnappJ Scotts book on estimating rehab costs is a great start. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/the-book-on-estimat...Here is a "general" rule of thumb for my market in Jacksonville, FL.

If there are items of value left behind, or even personal items of sentimental value, I will follow the abandonment rules to a "T" to avoid any legal issues.

There are specific rules on when rent increases can be submitted for review, but there are no guarantees when they will respond.

You are taking over for someone who didn't care at all about the rules and you want the city to just be like, "yeah, this is fine"?

I agree with Patricia, but there are always exceptions to every rule.
