I'm currently located in Olympia, Washington, where I've began transitioning from a 15-year career as a Special Operations Army aviator.

As an agent, have you picked a focus yet or considered specializing/nicheing into being an "investor friendly" agent targeting investors to work with (over generic homebuyers)?

However, the fact that it was an existing structure with utilities and plumbing running to the garage made our lives significantly easier.Existing 2nd Story Crash PadZONING AND PLANNINGWe’re located in a suburb of Boston where ADUs are allowed by-right… except if the structure is detached from the main building 🙄 which requires a “special permit”.

What about special assessments from POA?

Another problem I see is investors using 8% for PM fee when buying in crap hole areas where a specialized PM there goes for 12 to 14%.

For the past 4 years I have also owned an interior design firm that specializes in STR design and full service interior design. 

Would I have to work with a realtor or someone who specializes in these builds?

I’m a real estate agent based in South Carolina, where I specialize in off-market deals and work closely with investors.

Think about how can you make your property a no brainer when having to decide between an apartment and a home. 2-Contact homeowners who are not in your close proximity, so they do not feel threatened, and ask them what are they seeing in the market, and how are they are adjusting (most likely you are not the only one who is experiencing this). 3-  If you decide to work with a real estate agent, use one that works with rentals, and better yet, someone who specializes in property management as well, because they will help you weed out  bad applicants. 4- This last one I do not have experience with, but I would definitely try it if my rental was near a hospital: Partner with a company that finds housing for traveling nurses.

@Robby SanchezI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.
