Private equity firms seem to favor larger operations with scalable systems, while smaller mom-and-pop firms are often acquired by local players or regional operators looking to expand their footprint.If you’re looking for actionable intel, reaching out to brokers specializing in the sale of PM firms could provide useful leads.

I don't know how the really big players stomach it.Something else I failed to mention was how the PM's are also tacking on fees on top of rent to extract even more money from our tenants. 

I do airbnb in all my rental arbitrage, they are the biggest player in the STR market.   

Super complicated and an absolute specialty I dont know how smaller players bust into this. 

This development is part of a broader trend that sees Columbus evolving into the "Silicon Heartland," with other major players like Intel and Honda already establishing significant operations in the region.Economic Impact and Job CreationThe arrival of Anduril is poised to become the largest job-creation project in Ohio's history, with the company planning to hire 4,000 employees.

They then missed out on several more years of growth because they got out of the game and waited on the sidelines for things to look better. 2010 to 2012 was the period that cash investors were the players or those with IRA keep in mind investor loans were still basically non existent in those years for all those expect very well to do Investors beginners were not getting investor loans. 

Or give any one area a leg-up, besides the initial players like Virginia. 

@Greg ReeseMost small investors will benefit by having the LLC created in the state where the property is located at.Creating an LLC in a state like Nevada, Delaware, Wyoming may be better for the big players if items such as charging orders, business friendly case law, anonymity are important to you.However, be mindful that setting up LLC's in those states will add to your costs as you may have increased annual fees for annual LLC fees + registered agent fees.

Refinances are still active, slim pickings but some players are out there who are direct lenders, flip loans are also available (75-100K) min property other than conventional and gov backed loans.  

There are some players that operate thousands of SF homes.
