Make sure your analyzing enough deals in the area until you get a good grasp of the market. 

Rent control is primarily a problem for people who buy without analyzing the properties and no plan to get the returns they expect, also if a tenant is paying mkt rent or a property is delivered vacant the new laws will have little impact on you. 

I have a deal that looks really good on even my worst case calculations with the BP analyzer.

@Matthew Irish-JonesThank you, what do you think about short term rentals and analyzing them?

@Rosa LeporeNewer investor that has been digging deep and analyzing the Tampa, St.

I'm analyzing deals and looking for some input from other investors: In a scenario where you are comparing 2 duplexes in different areas which would you prefer to purchase and why?

I'm new to RE and I'm interested to buy property for long-term hold & keep with cash-flow in mind.The issue is I don't have time nor expertise to analyze properties across the country and determine which can cash-flow.I don't mind compensating an experienced manager to do this work + help manage the property.

So far I have found myself analyzing more SFRs as opposed to multifamily just because there are only so many good multifamily deals out there.

The identical duplex across the street getting $400 a month in rent more is worth more money... so comps need to be further analyzed.
