Conducting comprehensive market research in target markets with strong business demand, positive economic signals, job growth, and wealth growth are possible.

@Munjal Adhvaryuare you able to travel in person to your target market to build a team and look at properties?

I'd think you'd want to be closer to the average range to hit a bigger target market. 

I know your post was about direct to seller, but in the multifamily space, if you're looking to purchase bigger deals, anything 100+ units, it's more challenging direct to seller.I would start with sites like Crexi to aggregate data in a specific market, and target what you're trying to buy. # units, time left on debt, how many years held, whatever you're focusing on.We've also had some success using wholesalers to bring us deals.

I operate out of Northern Virginia and have been targeting areas here and in southern Maryland (near Washington DC).

I have experience here in multifamily in my local market, and so I want to target similar types of properties in my search back in the US.

You just want to make sure you're targeting the best neighborhoods, that aren't priced too high, but aren't in the worst areas either.

Financial targets and timelines.9.  

What kind of properties should I target?

Even though I don’t need to put the house on pylons in most areas I’m targeting because of the flood zone in oak island not effecting a lot of the areas new builds are going up.
