The real estate investing model is broad, but boundless. Ample investing resources and advice has created an environment of repetitious, vanilla investment strategies. There is a ton of value for operators that can hyper-focus on specific investment opportunities outside the "norm". Some I find interesting:
asset roll up model
rezoning opportunities for highest and best use
What are some niche strategies you find interesting?

This isn't multifamily related but I'm personally a big fan of multi-tenant datacenters. Same model as multifamily (no single-tenant risk, no 100->0 occupancy). There are some big players in that space (i.e. QTS) as it requires very skilled management (not a simple property manager) and a lot of money, but there is a lot of money to be made in the future by providing your tenants with better service and better amenities.

@Jordan Burnett Data centers are very interesting. The operators with knowledge behind power and sustainability are winning. I believe some of these folks are signing contracts with wind farms, etc. Seems like a high barrier for entry.

Yep, very interesting. Just like every other investment, you can niche down fairly well within the datacenter space. Most bigger operations operate with large cages and sell to single tenants (i.e. Amazon/Microsoft/FB). But, if you can build to serve lower-middle market you can service multiple tenants and operate it very similar to a multifamily building (in a sense).
