@Kendall Short Is there a specific area or certain ZIP Codes that you would focus your research on I’m looking for C class or higher properties

IMO, the numbers are always more important than the zip code.

Property taxes can be pretty high in lansing, and there's also code compliance that requires your rentals to be registered, which most other cities do not have.

I don’t want to run around the entire state to look at house and would like to narrow down to just a few zip codes…  I prefer to start in Maryland because I live here… I am seeing tons of stuff in Baltimore city for sale and that actually makes me worry a little.. can they not rent or do some people only want to flip houses?  

My 2 cents to the mix would be The ADU is the only way so far [SB 9 and 10 not withstanding] - You should be able to take the SFR and do an attached JADU up to 500 sq ft, then you can [lot size permitting and every city has its own code so do some research] another detached or even attached regular ADU - and as long as you live there as owner occupied you can live in the SFR part, rent out the ADU and JADU- the twist we do is to rent out 30+ days as a furnished rental.

California Civil Code section 1671 controls the amount of late fees you can charge. 

How quickly will we see the New Texas Pool Code implemented in Real Estate transactions?

What are the steps to be taken when a tennant in Tn has violated NEC codes via overloading circuits an daisy chaining strip outlets,permanently using extention cords off a strip,etc in a very unsafe way.Can you evict them for adding them without your permission when lease states it must be approved 1st.? 

How would you alter the area cap rate since there are not many 12 month leases?
