Every property is so different and the various codes and regulations are different as well.

•Are there any specific neighborhoods or zip codes to target or avoid?

Both investments can offer tax benefits, but real estate typically has the edge.

I know I'm getting the tax benefits of depreciation, the minimal positive cashflow, and the appreciation on the property, but It's pretty much a long term play of slowly raising rents annually to increase cashflow, which will eventually get basically reset when my loan goes P+I in 10 years.

Original costs were low enough that we paid them off within 10 yrs and in spite of operating cost increases of ret, Ins and r&m benefited from cash all along.

The benefit is that you can take control of the rental while still allowing them to retrieve their belongings.

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

I also own over 15 properties in these two zip codes. 

This was critical for me since I wanted the code generation for the guests to be fully automated.

I was thinking of starting a rent increase for my 1 bedroom tenant voucher due it being low and well under fair market value(Based on  hud and zip code) but my tenant is in the process of having a caretaker for her disability and getting approved for a two bedroom voucher.
