It goes deeper than that.NYC Liberal policies, including strong tenant protections, increases the risk of failure so much that the risk far outweighs the rewards.Financial ruin is just around the corner for the small Mom and Pop Property Investor that it doesn't make sense for them.The Tenants will have free Attorneys that are bent on delaying eviction cases so long that it stretches into years while Mom and Pop suffer from lack of rental income and still have to pay all the bills and do the management.Additionally, the increase in homeless living rough in the streets due to Sanctuary laws causing a lack of shelter beds, then evicting shelter residents after 30 days creating more homelessness, policies that tie up the Police's ability to arrest perpetrators, etc. only causes Mom and Pop to sell out at large discounts to larger Landlords who are capable to use Economies of Scale to eek out a profit.These larger Landlords will eventually turn a much higher profit as the pendulum will eventually swing towards the middle when the NYC Voting population eventually realizes that it's not a conspiracy of the Rich that's causing the Wealth Gap to increase.It's the same liberal laws that encourage people to become lifelong tenants, small Entrepreneurs (including Property Owners and small Mom and Pop Businesses) to be destroyed, and Rents to rise astronomically as housing becomes scarer even when the population declines by as much as 7% in the last several years. 

Realtors and brokers nationwide are celebrating what they perceive as a new dawn for increased activity and a robust economy.

Single-Family Homes (SFR) offer lower purchase prices, easier management, and better cash flow, while Small Multifamily (Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex) offer better cash flow, economies of scale, faster scaling, higher purchase price, complex financing, and tenant management.Good luck!

Exhausted but loved every minute.

Indianapolis has a very stable and diverse economy, be happy to chat with you.

I would choose option 2, because when the economy goes south, gross sales take a dive. 

The city’s diverse economy and growing population create a steady stream of tenants, and the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) works well with landlords, making inspections and rent payments a smooth process.

The rest economy of scale takes care of.

During the busy season in a good economy?
