in Minneapolis they are considering measures to "make" you take/consider section 8 tenants due to lack of affordable housing.  

At the moment, you can reasonably expect 8-10% current returns and, say, 17% IRR over a 5-10 year period with measured risk.  

And that's cold no matter how you measure it.

🙏NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED🌪RULE OF THUMB IN ORDERING MATERIALS ORDER 10% EXTRA TO ALLOW FOR CUTS & THE OCCASIONAL MISTAKES.IF YOU HAVE SHEETROCK THAT NEEDS REPLACED THEN MEASURE THE AREA AND ADD 10% MORE ON TOP SO THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE WORK THIS APPLIES TO ALL MATERIALS FROM TILE TO FLOORING TRIM LIKE BASE BOARDS TO CROWN MOLDING ADD 10% EXTRA PER FOOT OR SQUARE FOOT AND YOURE BEST BET IS TO HAVE IT ALL AT THE JOB READY TO GO.MAKE SURE YOU DO YOURE PART & THAT YOU HAVE THEM CHECKED  OUT WITH AT LEAST 3 REFERALS AND YOU HAVE LOOKED AT THE QUALITY OF THEIR WORK PERIOD OR YOU WILL BE SORRY! 

The second thing is that if you have ten basic criteria to measure for a desirable market, not every box will be checked. 

Your maintenance, tenant turnover, and re-leasing costs will likely be far more than your estimate (toss in a couple evictions for good measure). 

Baltimore and Frederick do not have rent control measures. 

Looking back, I'm glad they take good measures to keep that activity down.  

The state can kick the can a bit further through liquidity measures, as they continue to do, but their financial system will need to reset.What does this imminent Chinese financial crisis mean?

@Georgia Godfrey, rent price isn't the only measure of how much money you will make.
