Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $350,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand and price and rent increases.

Small towns may rely too much on a single business or market segment.

Occasionally you might see commercial real estate companies put out analysis for different markets and different commercial segments. 

Some channels like Youtube and Google have better segmentation options for real estate.Don't get discouraged.

@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. 

Have seen some price reductions from asking rents or higher priced segment of the market. 

There are some people coming back because there's a segment of the population who love living in the city and being walking distance to restaurants, stores etc. 

Several things to consider: 1) One of the main purposes of segmenting your assets into separate LLC's is so that your personal net worth or equity in other business ventures or properties isn't exposed, so unless you have a high net worth or a lot of equity in a property, it might not be worth bothering going the separate LLC route, especially when it restricts your financing of the property.  2) Most any commercial financing you get from a local bank for a small property is going to have recourse anyhow and require that you sign a personal guarantee, so you're still personally on the hook to the bank even in the case of a commercial loan.  3) If you're a newer investor and buying a deal that's tight on cash flow, or if you don't have a ton of cash sitting in the bank already, your greatest risk factor as an investor is your investment failing economically due to poor financing terms or not operating the investment properly, not because you get sued. 

What I did was trying to learn as much as I can regarding the market segment and be able to talk comfortably NOI and cap rates etc.

A more granular approach, in which you segment by city block or zip code, is likely going to be more helpful.I’ll use Birmingham, AL as an example since I’m most familiar with the market.
