And I also think that the inventory in your market plays a large role in deciding what property type makes the most sense.In my market, there is a large abundance of the small multi-family properties, especially the 2-4 unit properties.

My nephew when to Cornell and played football. 

As a senior baseball player looking to eventually play pro ball after this spring semester, I acquired a serious interest in doing real estate as another source of income.

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

These will be LTRs and I will most definitely be playing the long game with these.In addition, as rates go down in the future (hopefully) I plan to refinance as most of us do.

Not to mention that the speach is recorded and they play it for you while you think person is on the other side (I found out by accident because I had a question during the speach, recorded speach didn't stop even I was trying to stop him multiple times) :( Sad but true. 

You also don't need to do a traditional long term strategy, is there a draw the  area that playing host to a traveling nurse or other professional/student would be interested? 

Sounds more like trying to win a popularity contest, aiming to gain votes and likes from people here that also have something against wholesaling.But OK let me play along.Let's fact-check this:OP: "It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it."

Again, fair play for a major business like this, but it's the old guard who have held up the forums for years, even with their technological ineptitude.

This will be a 10 year play.
