During this last cycle it’s been a game of musical chairs, sponsors have been able to raise rents and flip deals quickly to the next buyer because of an insatiable demand and an abundance of capital.

Even if I have to lower the rate by $200 to find the right tenant, I am still ahead of the game by a C-note by year's end.Just my 2 cents, I hope you have already found a tenant for your home by the time this post drops!  

@Arthur Savery, This can be a great game plan called a diversification exchange. 

For example, incorporating energy-efficient solutions and smart home technology has been a game-changer in similar markets, especially when paired with features like office spaces that cater to remote workers.As for potential add-ons, corporate housing partnerships are a brilliant suggestion!

It could be a game-changer for streamlining your operations.

What type of properties are you looking to add to your portfolio to "get back in the game"?

I've seen landlords live in blissful ignorance for 5-10 years due to dumb luck, then their world comes crashing down and they lose everything.I have a book, there are some in the BP bookstore, or you can check out one of my personal favorites, Every Landlord's Legal Guide by NOLO.

@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.

My favorite C/C+neighborhoods to invest in are Linden, Whitehall, Franklinton, Driving Park, and Eastmoor, to name a few. 

I’m not in the game yet, but I’ve been diving into this to prepare for my first multi-family deal.
