It varies for me city by city here in south Florida.

Move out of New York would be my first thought .   

Hey Jason and Rene, I have rezoned multiple properties in Denver and the surrounding cities.

And as you state in other posts, you are in a market with less competition (a city near the airport in the Midwest I believe).  

As you stated jurisdictions and different city regulations all handle it differently.

The city has great macroeconomics - population growth, job growth, and lots of companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Amazon, Meta, etc.

For my long term rentals I am no longer purchasing in New York State and I am going to be searching out of state in a more landlord friendly state such as Ohio or Pennsylvania.

I wouldn’t mind moving to another city that’s relatively close ( 30-40min) . 

Jersey City is hot right now but like I tell my clients the majority of the time I can find them deals that make more sense in Essex County but that depends on the client and what their needs are along with their comfort level. 

My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that.
