That sort of begs the question, is it really an external market influence - sellers asking for more money or is it an internal market influence - your model doesn't price that asset/segment/population as well as it use to with experience under your belt?

Additionally, I work full-time as a commercial real estate broker focusing on the multi-family and hospitality market segments.

What the main segment ur looking to start with?

As to the lack of senior housing, it's one of the fastest growing segments of the market.

I was annoyed with the segment because they acted like all landlords are bad guys who show up in housing  court with lawyers because they want to take advantage of poor tenants and never once mentioned the fact that the courts require owners using LLCs to hire a lawyer. 

Try breaking down the year into 90 day segments with goals.

I once painted a house in tiny segments over a winter.

Perhaps you could find somebody somewhere that is local (not in NYC), that already invests/works in this segment, and has a few bucks to put in, and partner with them? 

To make a blanket statement that they are bad does a disservice to a different segment of real estate investing that works well for people who maybe want to preserve their investment, but not have management of their real estate portfolio be a full time job. 

I can keep up with each conversation, move them into different segments (IE: Dead Deal, Follow-up, Contract, Etc).
