It's vitally important to know who you are working with, and have the history of the players involved.

If I tell you to call 100 FSBOs today, are you going to call them, or are you going to figure out some other way that is your way...text them, email them, send them a post card, when I told you to call them.All the NFL players I know (not that many) know a ton about football and fitness, but all have coaches, trainers, nutritionists. 

Now we need to factor in the other players, defenders, 3rd parties (coaches, refs, fans, etc).

Dollar General and Dollar Tree have been building ~1,000 stores each in the U.S. each year for over a decade, and I've read people on the forums who have pursued strategies for building and leasing specifically to these players at a high volume.How is this rate of new builds sustainable, and how can we determine the point of saturation, when the pipeline ends?

The types of projects, the project costs, timelines.Personally, I think the end result for us all is to have an ever growing and expanding REI company that remains a player in the game for decades to come. 

-Join the Kansas City Apartment Association and attend their conferences/events especially any relating to legislative advocacy to meet your local players in multi family 

Be a player in the game don't sit on the sidelines. 

You will meet and connect some of the largest players in private money.

Hotels are not really something you can dabble in, the industry has a very small circle of players, and these people are generally solely focused on the industry.  

@Gregory OwenFor reverse mortgages they are one of the main players.
