Of course buying right is always the key, but is there anything else I can do to help navigate the turbulence?

Buy rentals with 10% or better net caps.

Hello BP community,I am relatively new to REI investing and getting ready to buy my third rental property. 

Much safer bet would be to buy an existing home with a view in a nice neighborhood.

You can see the agreement I use which has section to check if buying Sub2 at this link. 

Are you a mom and pop landlord whose most likely risk is a premises liability claim likely covered by insurance or a small claims suit for return of a security deposit?

Instinctively I want to cash out and buy elsewhere, however, another part of me wants to just keep them as they are both making money.

@Austin Nicol I’m starting to have to decide whether I’m going to buy properties that dont cash flow for the first time.

Tons of investors are buying Columbus up!

I plan to purchase either a distressed MFH, or a distressed SFH with an ADU, a potential ADU conversion (shed, garage, separate suite, etc.), or the potential for sqft to be efficiently added during the rehab (screened porch, carport, concrete patio area, etc.).
