I am not in the flipping market but I handle multifamily transactions for buyers and sellers who are very transactional.

@Isaac Antoine I invest in a market in northern Michigan and now in Indiana.

If you are looking to list the portfolio, the agent could do Loopnet and the MLS.If you are looking for a private sale I have a few investors that I could shop it to, as well some private groups that I am a member of.

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.

What is the best strategy in your opinion to niche down on a target audience in any given market?

Quote from @Scott Tennell: For real estate investors who have worked with private money lenders, what strategies have you found most effective in structuring deals to ensure both parties are protected and the funding process runs smoothly? 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

Speak with a local Realtor who knows the market, but also is knowledgeable about creative financing options.Good Investing...

Each project cost is around the 400k market without land cost.

I wanted to see what markets have both a relatively high rent-to-price ratio and high appreciation.
