Some of my colleagues and friends bought millions, others tens of millions, and some hundreds of millions (or Billions) during that period.Real estate is a funny game - it tends to go up, yes, but it does not always go up, and it can go nowhere for a decade or more, as a lot of apartment complex purchasers from 2021 are about to find out. 

But by coming together with others, one can get in the game and put their money to work in these bigger, potentially greater return deals without having to do it solo.

I've seen this in the news.This doesn't affect me because I'm small time compared to these big companies.I also don't purchase any pricing software.

There’s also a good mix of duplexes, triplexes, and quads, so you’ve got options for a solid house hack.House hacking is actually how I got into real estate—I’ve done two house hacks with duplexes here in Chattanooga, and it’s been a game changer.

If you are investing for the long game, I say go for it - we have to be creative in this market to make things pencil. 

That's all you bring to the game.

Any advice on the best virtual staging software/websites?

So many "investors" bury themselves in complex, expensive situations to protect themselves from some unknown threat to their non-existent business.Figure out if you have any shooting skills (or even enjoy the game) before spending money on $600 Nikes or an indoor basketball court. 

Hemlane is a great software to use.

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-)
