Rent control laws are market specific.

In my home market of Florida, our insurance rates have made it much harder to have positive cash flow on a CRE deal.

Hopefully, by year 3 the market will be good enough for a refinance as well!

While I don’t own investments there, I’ve explored the market and see potential for some long-term growth.

@Rajesh Kasturi My favorite MTR market for cash flow AND appreciation is Portland, OR. 

U can check out  ivyridgeestatescanby dot com for my 90 home project in Oregon that I did with my oregon bank and then my website for pictures of homes we built in Charleston SC which is the only market I tagged HML ( lima one) and only one time the rest were done with Ameris bank or Service first bank that is local in the market. its all about the three C's  Character Collateral and capacity..

Set a goal for yourself based on your needs, your location and your market and shoot for that.

The Lake Tahoe market has many intricacies regarding short-term rentals, but navigating them is definitely possible.

Those are great markets for sure. 

I think every market has those luxury areas that pricing is multiples beyond what any average person in the market can afford.
