Rent control laws are market specific.

While podcasts, books, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll buy a specific property in a specific location, subject to local rules and regulations.

I’ve been trying to learn a lot about Airbnb and want to get into that side specifically.

You have to factor in demand and vacancy rates to determine if it will be more profitable, and that’s specific for each market.

As others have suggested, you can actually buy property with a specific IRA account.

@Henry Clark other than just a normal google search of "population of x" town, is there a specific site you use?

AND just because you have experience and a “good deal” doesn’t mean you will be successful trying to syndicate the deal.The first criteria is does the sponsor have the general knowledge and experience in real estate, and the specific knowledge and experience in the property type/location to give the project the best shot at success?  

I am bullish on the FHA 203k and home-style renovation loans that allow you to leverage the cost of your renovation as part of your mortgage, which is just an insane deal, in my opinion.Do you have a specific area where you want to purchase?

This protects against potential claims and liabilities specific to the rental.For tax purposes, maintain clear records of rental-related income and expenses, allowing deductions for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and depreciation proportionate to the rental unit.
