You probably want to find other segments since this is a numbers game.

It's hard to stand out.There are some new owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

If you do decide you want to paint the brick, Ask This Old House just did a segment on the best way to do so.

IMO, you would have to pick more specific segment of real estate investment before making a productive risk vs return comparison to the stock market.It's important to understand the return structure in real estate before selecting any of the performance metrics thrown around here and use them to compare to the stock market. 

But we just don't have enough supply, especially in starter home segment.

There's 799 of those.Now I'd then segment that list into several others based on the age of the owner, where they live, the equity, type of financing, etc. 

Hey @Elad Messing I'm currently taking level 3 of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) program, which focuses on all asset classes with a heavy focus on equities, real estate being a smaller segment of the material.

If you live in Houston (spend most of your time in Houston) LIMIT research to just Houston and even to just a certain Segment of Houston - until you get your first deal going. 

I have been staying clear of that segment just for those reasons, while I am still relatively new.

And are you normally investing in this higher luxurious segment of the market and in Spain?
