Forced equity and cash flow vary quite a bit by the deal, but Idaho is the most landlord friendly state in the country- the state actually just passed a law making it illegal for cities to regulate rent rates or fees in any way. 

The regulations need to be taken into account but finding a good deal in these markets is easier than most.
