You need to be marketing out to atleast 5,000 people.If you want to go super niche, door knocking foreclosures never not works.

Has anyone had any experience with these types of properties and have any tips, stories, advice about this niche.  

@Brienne Metcalf, I prefer to have leases.

Hard Money Loans.There are other niche products but those are also in general order of cheapest down payments and interest rates typically.Good luck!

Their product was deemed an essential service and the preferred return would be cumulative.

Much prefer the American album cover though...

@Nick Cortolillo Keep in mind that most DSTs are about 50-55% LTV or less.The answer to your question is somewhat subjective depending on personal preferences...The most important thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to match your debt and equity in order to execute a tax-free exchange. 

So explaining why an investor (you) is preferable in their situation is critical.  

I’ve had other clients who preferred this approach..one even found a gem in Glenview at a time when the suburb wasn’t as well-known, and today his property’s value has grown by 15% in the past three years alone.With the anticipated drop in mortgage rates in 2024, the suburbs might be a solid pick for someone new to the market, especially if you’re looking to build equity without dealing with the volatility of city investments.So, for a first-timer, think about your goals: high appreciation and some hands-on work?

Whether you plan to rent your current home or buy a new property, the choice depends on your risk tolerance, cash flow goals, and lifestyle preferences.
