Contact your local Economic Development Council group and/or city officials to see where the opportunities may be.

Is there a real need in the community, a needs analysis needs to be done.Will you or can you simply serve an existing non-profit, like Council of the Blind, if so, simply lease to them or individually with a lease guarantee, keep it simple.If I were doing a conversion I would ask P&Z about a R-1 SFD being converted to multi-family, a 5 plex and leave it  at that, P&Z isn't discriminator about who leases, but if there medical  issues or security concerns about a certain population then you may have other ordinances, other restrictions can then be applied.    

I bought 7 properties in British Columbia when I was 23 years old and sold them all a couple years later. 

I agree with the advice here that a letter should be sent to the police and copied to the mayor/city council altering them to the mishandling and future threat.

Peculiar to Italy is the "Condono" legislation, whereby the State "condonos" the urban sins of its citizens, who have constructed, enlarged or modified buildings, without having obtained the necessary approvals from the local Council.

And most important, Chinese people love to OWN property, renting feels poor and you get bossed around by your landlord all the time, and landlord never wants to spend a dime on upkeep of the property.Many friends of mine including Chinese and British ppl warned me about entering the US market because Americans love to SUE and the tenants rights are protected etc..

@Kyle Turret Assigning a contract for a monetary consideration is totally legit as long as you go about doing it the right way. http://www.recbc.ca/psm/assignment-of-contracts/ The real estate council in British Columbia even goes so far as to offer the aforementioned guidance to agents on how to legally do this with their clientsThat being said a wholesaler has to know the market even better than most agents do and have to be networking machines (in order to have buyers lined up).  

I have an article on website, regarding the Smith manoeuvre written by a fellow British Columbian Fraser Smith.

Maybe a little on the Class A multi family properties, but if you are in the $1,200-1,700 price point on a duplex or SFH, I think you will find a healthy and consistent number of perspective tenants.Look, I agree the massive run in Dallas price appreciation is getting late in the tooth, but I don't see it dropping 20%, too many people are moving to the area every year.And, don't forget Dallas is a finalist for Amazon, and the city council just had a closed door meeting that some speculate was about Amazon.
