I get some low rent today and often it seems in 3-4-5 years the rents work themselves out, but how long does it take for $1000 rent to go to $2000 let's say on a 2bedroom 2bath unit in the less desirable part of town?

@Derek Morrison each state and locality can have different crazy requirements; we’ve had rentals in several states and I just spend time researching required disclosures, inspections, landlord tenant laws for each.

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.
