If they’re underfunded, you could get hit with special assessments.Since you want to stay local and focus on cash flow, commercial makes sense, but have you considered industrial or flex space?

I am preparing to attend their next meetup towards the end of the month and will continue looking for more ways to stay engaged.

We primarily focus on residential multi-family and so far we have stayed in the Western Mass area.

•Mid-term rentals (30+ day stays) can be another fallback option, especially for traveling nurses, corporate workers, and digital nomads.5.

as someone who builds build to rent new construction triplexes in Columbus Ohio and single family homes. from a new construction perspective 3 story walk ups are the most common type of apartments built in the country and in addition in development a triplex is best economies of scale while still staying within residential building codes.

Are most renters looking for long-term leases, or is there a strong demand for short-term or mid-term stays?

Or, second option if you are not single, you could find a house on the wholesale list that can be divided into two units or a house that has a guest house and then fix it up and rent out one of the units and stay in the other.

My easiest, no hassle, lowest expense rentals are the ones where the tenants stay 5 + years, do minor maintenance themselves, call me immediately with any issues so I can fix them before they become much more costly, and agree to annual market adjusted rent rate increases.  

This way, you stay in control while scaling your deal flow efficiently.

Definitely stay away from the guru/seminars crowd and stick with the organic communities like BP and local free meetups.
