That's some people's niche and it works for them.

There are SO MANY sub-niches to dealing with distress real estate.

@Skyler Shively, as mentioned, it is a tough niche to find a lender for. 

I prefer service over anything meaning a property manager that communicates with me whenever I have a question and is quick to solving any problems. 

BP would be great too but I do prefer to work in person so hopefully someone localEddieEddie, contact my friend, Raymond Sawyer, he is in San Diego.

I am in a different niche we don’t do partial or fractional interests  

I would prefer prefer neighborhoods that are showing signs of population growth and economic development but open to recommendations.Would love to hear from anyone with experience in the Cleveland market or similar!

I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

The key difference, though, was he spent months carefully getting to know the local architecs, reputable builders, and even a couple of niche design firms that specialize in modern builds for mid- to high-end buyers.

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.
