Poor condition or bad location and therefore not marketable to quality and respectful tenants? 

Have you noticed a slowdown in buyer activity, or are certain markets staying strong?

Quote from @James Harryton: Hey, I recently bought my first rental property in Polk County it doesn’t cash flow enough for me to have a property manager so I would have to manage this myself for the time being, however in about 6 months I would want to get a HELOC on the property and use that as a down payment on maybe a multi family and then rinse and repeat, I was wondering if this sounds reasonable or would I have to do something else, and also because the market value of homes are so expensive around me, the 1% rule for rents don’t really work for me thank you so much
