Jersey City, NJ - Rent control and growth control - Mayor Fulop

[Kapil Patel]

Hello BiggerPockets Fam,

I came across this article today where the current mayor of Jersey City Mr Fulop, NJ posted on his Instagram. From what I gather he is trying to control the market growth and enforce rent control. I am not sure how it impacts investors???

The article Mayor Steven Fulop posted:

I am worried that it will impact my goal where I plan to flip my current condo to a rental. If there is rent control and growth control, that would impact me.

If anyone who has experience in this market or just a general outlook on this type of decision, I'd like to hear from you on how the potential future outlook of the market can be impacted from a investor standpoint.

Any help would be much appreciated thank you,
