Look at places like Oahu where overnight 90% were made illegal.2, SFHs are dollar for dollar very inefficient, financing is easy and they are more liquid but your most valuable asset is time so if you go into STRs and SFHs you could find yourself at a loss of years before you gain traction.3, Watch what the big players are doing (I know that some hedge funds are buying SFHs but not at the rate as large multi-family)4.

.--- Is there any other reason that I may not be aware of that it is going to make it extremely difficult for me to break into this product type and build traction?

I've been in somewhat of an analysis paralysis at times but I'm starting to gain traction.

I just saw this post actually and it gained a lot of traction.

I also work full time and have a full time family...driving for dollars happens when we are out running errands, taking trips, etc. but I don’t think I get enough volume to get a solid traction.  

The city does finally seem to be seeing some good traction from the Gigatown win and some project funding like the Heritage precinct that are seeing some really good Hitec start ups coming in to or staying in town from Uni so if that continues then some alternative jobs are coming in too.As for rentals, this is still the oldest housing stock in the country so it is prime for buying under value doing improvements to it and increasing your values and to a lesser extent rents.

I ended up getting a mentor 12 months later because I was not getting the traction I personally wanted. 

I checked our contract last week and realized our 2.75% mortgage can be assumed by a buyer, which seems like a huge differentiator to me in this market.Our real estate agent added the information to our MLS, but I'm curious how else I might advertise this fact and get more traction to the property?

You've either got to pound the pavement HARD or have a solid marketing budget to get any traction down here.

If you can spare a few hundred for a website then you will make this road a little easier, but if you cant then think about doing the following..Attend Real Estate MeetupCall every broker in the cityNetwork with unlimited Realtors  If you stay consistent you will get the traction you need to market to.
