I'm sure a whole horde of people on BP could come up with a better list than me, but some that immediately come to mind are:1) Natural disaster2) Significant changes to insurance rates (see #1)3) Changes to state or city laws regarding fees, taxes and rates, code requirements, zoning, rent caps, tenant-favorable laws, etc (you have more exposure here being in primarily one city area as well)4) Changes to state or regional labor market, especially in regard to contractorsNow in terms of rental market shift exposure, I think a geographically-centralized portfolio can still achieve diversification within a large enough city or region through properties in different geographic neighborhoods, Class A/B/C areas, tenant demographics, and general rent amounts (high/medium/low in the market).Now whether those (unlikely) risk factors are worth giving up all the home field advantages you've built up is a lot harder to answer, but that's every investor's decision.
