@Kristjan Meitz would definitely target a 2-4 unit if possible.Challenge will be finding one at a price you can afford and that's in a decent area.Once she's accepted somewhere, check to see if the school has a placement assistance office.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Insurance costs are going to be extremely relative to a list of variables that differ with every property, but if you know what to target and what to watch out for, these costs do not at all prevent positive cash flow on the right opportunities

They might work for smaller mom-and-pop units (2-8 units), but not for anything larger.Most owners of larger, more established multi-family properties don’t fall into the category of distressed landlords that off-market strategies usually target.

Our target market is group #2 and it has served us very well. 

Theres so many agents out there you need to find one who is focused heavily on your target niche. 

It is helpful to know that many HOA’s don’t allow STRs…I am also trying to source information about the STR regulations in this area to target the right small house.  

They obviously didn't intentionally target you, they are just humans with no clairvoyant abilities and can't know all the particulars of each home owner when they send those post cards.

Are there any recommendations from anyone who have found certain news sites or data sources to extract data from that has helped them understand the current market landscape in their target area?
