They love the nostalgia of it and wouldn't consider replacing such an important and historical thing.There is no script that will lead you to success in this, but friendly and collaborative will help.

I am keen to learn from the experiences of seasoned professionals and collaborate with fellow investors who share a passion for real estate.

Prioritize properties with rental potential, plan for reserves and tenant strategies, and stay patient as you network and learn.

Long-term buy-and-hold rentals in stable neighborhoods, prioritizing consistent cash flow and responsible management over rapid appreciation.

Focus on durability over bells and whistles—tenants prioritize functionality and reliability.

You are casting a very wide net without providing what your prioritized criteria might be.

I’m looking to expand my network and connect with other investors, realtors, and real estate professionals—especially those who are growth and collaboration-oriented.

Another common problem is poor due diligence—jumping into deals without verifying the borrower or collateral often leads to future regrets.I’ve also seen over-leveraged borrowers cause trouble, prioritizing other creditors over private lenders.

I work closely with many buy and hold investors and would be happy to share insights or explore ways we can collaborate. 

Prioritize stable cash flow, good location, and manageable property condition, while considering strategies like gradual rent increases, expense reduction, and value-add improvements to enhance returns.
