With Queens University a LOT of the rentals are student oriented, but very few houses are currently for sale for this segment (4+ beds) and prices are quite high for old properties.

Customer retention, repeat customer business, and good word of mouth from your customers are just three segments that come to mind.

The largest decreases were in the single-family and townhouse segments, each falling more than 20 percent over the month.

I'll be interested to keep up with this thread, but despite the obvious market, as people age, competing in this segment would seem to me to be akin to opening up a private department store next door to Wal-Mart. 

The ferry will let you visit SE and plan segments to hit Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Skagway.

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

For example, since the beginning of this year, the prices of Las Vegas properties in our target segment increased by >9%.What Is the Cost of Waiting?

Two benefits are that they can give you exposure to segments that otherwise would be difficult to access (in this case mobile home parks and self storage), and are great for passive investing (you need to decide if you’re ok with being a landlord or not).

I track the MLS in 2 week segments.

I know this post is old but in case anyone is still looking- the Best Ever Real Estate Show has a newer segment called "Beyond Multifamily" hosted by Ash Patel.
