Echoing what Shawn said above, you would have a vast array of options ranging from lively resorts with tons of amenities (think water slides, lazy rivers, tennis)...ranging to quieter resorts with lots of green space and forest or lake view homes.

Low-cost index funds are a great way to achieve broad market exposure with minimal effort.

A career GP (who invests in my own deals), yes, but also an LP in private placements across a broad spectrum of industries, real estate included, so I see this issue from both perspectives.I think we do agree that many GPs won't, don't, or can't invest in their own offerings, and I also think we agree that GP investment makes LPs feel better.I think where we differ is that the existence or absence of this investment makes a tangible difference. 

I will broadly hint that they do not qualify, and it would be a  waste of time and money.Sometimes you will get someone who is just too naive to realize that they simply cannot afford my apartments -- I hate taking their money to run a credit/criminal/eviction when you know they will not qualify, but I don't want to violate Fair Housing.   

I find a lot of investors are searching across broad areas and even states so it's nice to work with a lender that's licensed nearly Nationwide.

Lara,IMHO I think your question is a bit too broad.

Unfortunately most Realtors don't have a broad knowledge of bidding on REO's, HUD's or distressed property.

The house was in good shape and purchased by a homeowner, showing that our whole-tailing strategies can attract a broad range of buyers and open more doors for profitable transactions.

What is called build for rent is very broad and varies considerably even in the same market.

Unlike, an independent GC, who undertakes a broader array of projects, Curbio’s project experience will be more uniform and consistent over time (e.g. focusing on a core set of projects, with similarly attractive traits: impactful; reduced complexity; reliable sourcing; etc.).The “as-is” investor approach that you describe should work, as you would have all of the criteria necessary to be deemed a “qualified-prospect” for Curbio, e.g.: sufficient equity to cover a min $15K budget and ample up-side potential to deliver a sufficient positive ROI.
