@Jonah Gunalda you fit the profile of a large segment of the passive investing community--someone who has a good income from something they are really good at, and would like exposure to real estate in their investment portfolio without distracting them from that very vocation that put them in the position to make such an investment in the first place.There probably isn't a "typical" profile of folks who do not and would not invest in syndications. 

New to BP and am really impressed by this community! 

Welcome to the community.

I am wondering if this area is 1) investable, 2) safe, 3) What is the long term outlook for this community? 

If so, that would remove one major and valid objection to letting unsupervised strangers into houses.In my own business, an applicant can apply for an apartment before touring it.

You are allowed to ask the applicant questions.

I am fairly well connected in the REI community here. 

I would be happy to talk more about locations/communities in the GS/OB area. 

Looking to hear what you would do - I've heard of people targeting 1031 Investors to sell large portfolios or multiple buildings but have no idea where I would begin outside of asking a community like Bigger Pockets.
