For example, the Institutional SFR Buy & Hold strategy that was all the rage and generated headlines on a regular basis is now winding down except for a few states which are late comers to the party. 

Hello guys i am interested in Realestate investing but i am a new comer i know nothing about Realestate investing.

Yes, along with Canada Western Trust, B2B Bank (owned by Laurentian), Eastern Trust and Community Trust Company (a relative new comer).TD Waterhouse was the last of the Big-5 owned brokerages to offer custodial services for arm's-length mortgages from registered accounts and they exited the market in 2012(ish).

Hi everybody, I'm new comers here from Jakarta, Indonesia.I wan to learn/educate my self and build my dream in Real Estate industry.Start from small now.

I am a new comer to real estate investing.

In the real estate world as a new comer you are competing not only against other new comers, but also the handful of investors that can predict trends and have large networks/resources/etc at their disposal. 

It's great to see another new comer from the Bay Area!  

Just wanted to say hello from a new Comer on the site.  

Would love to get your advice and guidance if you have dealt with similar issues.As always, thank you to all the BP members who are willing to share they experience and teach all of the new comers to the REI.
