They have degrees and interests in different segments of what I think are important facets of the real estate game, one will be graduating with a degree in construction management and the other in accounting.

Deep knowledge of tenant segments and their behaviors is essential, and this expertise comes only through a good property manager.

Which will inflate market prices int he segment seemingly over-night.

@Jonah Gunalda you fit the profile of a large segment of the passive investing community--someone who has a good income from something they are really good at, and would like exposure to real estate in their investment portfolio without distracting them from that very vocation that put them in the position to make such an investment in the first place.There probably isn't a "typical" profile of folks who do not and would not invest in syndications. 

Property management teams should have departments for each segment of their business that know exactly what there function is and have employees that focus solely on that part of the business to best serve their clients.

What I did was trying to learn as much as I can regarding the market segment and be able to talk comfortably NOI and cap rates etc.

@Avishai Avraham I suggest calling the housing authority in your area (they are often segmented by County) and asking them your question. 

Occasionally you might see commercial real estate companies put out analysis for different markets and different commercial segments. 

There are some people coming back because there's a segment of the population who love living in the city and being walking distance to restaurants, stores etc. 

Homes that appeal to our target tenant segment range from $350,000 to $475,000, so the supply of housing we target remains almost the same regardless of how many new homes are built.DemandPopulation growth drives housing demand and price and rent increases.
