Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

I'm here to grow, learn, and build a community in the Staunton, Virginia area.

If you can get good at networking and building relationships by establishing rapport, you'll get ahead much quicker in this niche.

Fair enough, I have partial ownership of a commercial (apartment) building in the Bay Area and I would estimate it as a Class A- to maybe Class B - great location, great tenants, nice amenities (not high end like gym, new pool, community room with big screen TVs, etc), high rents, but building is older (built in 1950s).One investor I saw post that they look at where Starbucks and Costcos are opening and possibly factor that into looking at different markets.

What ever area you look at make sure to look at the age of the building.

The current tenant was already in place when I purchased the building, and their lease is set to expire in a few months.

With a 4-unit building, that’s a very high customer concentration.

I called the zoning department and they are telling me this is a Mixed use building (N zone).

that doesn't seem ideal - i think people should build up a track record before borrowing private money and putting it at risk.
