I have a duplex in National City that we bought in ‘09 that does really well but I wouldn’t buy it in today’s market if I was strictly going for the cash flow.

Especially in states where wholesaling laws have gotten more strict and wholesalers have to do double closings instead of assignments.

@Michael Skoczylas is a 1031 exchange strictly for real estate investments?

It has to meet code and that itself is a process- if you don't get licensed and attempt to evict, not only will you get fined for not having a license but the judge will throw your case out. this was another reason I was thinking of taking the buy and flip road- the strict tenant laws here in MD/DCfor educational purposes- check it outhttps://dc.curbed.com/2017/5/23/15681204/tenant-law-bill-of-rights

The top three reasons I have experienced are:1 - Too strict rental criteria and/or price2 - Condition of the rental3 - Neighborhood and/or neighbors (this includes street traffic, proximity to town/transportation/freeways)It sounds it could be #1 or #3 and I am leaning to #3

Mother in law apartments are strictly prohibited in Logan, so be careful that what you're getting is actually grandfathered.
