Hi @Mercedes AnthonyI love that you've clearly defined where you fit in the realtor ecosystem.

These are the kinds of things I feel mom & pop investors (such as myself) could save a lot on but we might not know about if we're not as plugged into the real estate ecosystem.

You will rent to some winners and rent to some who want to drive you crazy, but always remember that you need to get yourself a mindset where no tenant will ever get you upset or emotional and you will live a much healthier and more-prosperous life when your head understands this.

If you are buying in a fire dependent ecosystem, odds are it WILL burn.

And there is a burgeoning ecosystem of start-ups and other technology companies creating efficiencies that weren’t possible before.There are a number of long-term demographic trends in place that support a single family housing investment strategy.

The market is not softening, it is getting healthier - what we have seen this spring was dysfunctional.

The Waterloo Region is a growing ecosystem of over a thousand tech-related businesses, this in itself is appealing to REIs.

The tech sector obsessed with skimming more and more off the top of those fat STR margins: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/property-management-platform-guesty-raises-50m-in-series-d-funding-signaling-a-year-of-recovery-for-the-short-term-rental-ecosystem-301277520.html

Next week I'm coming to Jax and I'd be more than happy to meet other investors or anyone in the REI ecosystem to trade information or evaluate cooperation or JV.

I'm assuming someone out in the BP ecosystem will have had some experience with the Minnesota Multi Housing Association.
