I'll try to do some research, I have no idea on where to find these guys, will poke around and see what I could scavenge, not really my target market but wouldn't hurt to get some and explore that segment of the market.

@Scott Trench I agree with you about the quality of the market segment you are targeting and at the same time be very careful with the thinking that a blood bath in high end rentals will not impact the lower end properties.

.- You are on both ends of the investing world and the sweet spot is right in the middle.Think of the Monopoly Board - the best investments are the Orange and Red properties around Free Parking --- Go to Jail cards and the Go to Jail spot jump players over the high rent properties and the low rent properties in a way that mimics the supply and demand principles of the free market --The Orange and Red properties represent the highest rental demand segment of middle class America -- In my opinion that is where you will most successfully invest and if I were in your shoes, that is what I would do.Good luck and Happy investing -jeff

So, if I were young like you startitng out, I would get started right away pursuing whatever segment of the REI business you most enjoy and think matches your goals.

@Andrew Reyes, it depends on what segment of the market you are looking for.

We've been solo for a long time but partnered recently because the partner brought experience we didn't have in a segment that was new to us.

We always overbuild this segment and vacancies go up, but 5 years, you might be ok.

It's a low-risk way of gaining A TON of education in real estate investing and developing skills that transpose to other segments (wholesaling, buy & hold, flipping, etc).

https://www.airbnb.com/newAirbnb rolled out several new programs today that segment the millions of listings currently on their platform.

You can even segment these markets more and more and aim for a niche (be they college students in a campus town or retirees in a vacation town).Best of luck!
