Other players will play more conservative and pick and choose their spots to play in and grind out a steady profit albeit a likely lesser return.Same principles go into real estate - there are people that are leveraged to the max (and lets assume they're making good investments which is a big if), they're pushing thinner edges with more risk to get the maximum returns.

demographics change lots of things can happen in that industry just like any industry.. and for sure burnt out landlords create opportunity for new blood coming in.  

Good question mate.Been in the game long enough that I can sell till the "cow's come home" lolOr find a way to convert, monetize, optimize, etc...It's against my ethics so I choose not to.And I've done my fair share of charity and still do to this day.Feeding the poor per seBut I refuse to "Feed" the lazy and ignorant (And wealthy) with free information that took blood, sweat and tears and years to get.I'll let the guru's monetize on such folks with their books, guides and masterminds lol

they aren't Columbus based out of Solon ohio which is Cleveland / Akron if that's the market you are looking for. if they said they service columbus I'd laugh out loud and move on  There is more to the state of Ohio than the city of Columbus there young blood. https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2023/03/30/nation...$200 billion dollars worth of projects in ohio, $159 billion in Central Ohio. $8 in every $10 dollars to ohio's economy is in Central Ohio. 

Sure, it might make it a tad tougher, and you generally will have to pay a slightly higher rate BUT you can work with a lender like Finance Of America for example or other more friendly investor lenders who MOSTLY focus on the asset itself vs your first born child, hair and blood samples etc just to get a loan.   

It’s a major concern and whether we like it or not there is statically significant data showing young children of under privileged families being the  population we find with elevated levels of lead dissolved in their blood. 

And those dues are really financially expensive and even more expensive in terms of blood, sweat, tears, toil AND TIME.You want a head start over the unwashed and a short cut to success (which is really what most people want)?

is the same thing as "Trying to Get Blood from a Stone!"

Maybe you already know someone who could help put in some "blood sweat and tears" with you to help you both get there faster?

I may be wrong but I'm not smelling blood in the water and interest rate increases are already squeezing profit margin and making houses that would have cash flowed last year losers today and bigger losers tomorrow.
