Good luck and much success to you in your real estate business! 

So the one's on the sidelines that did not get involved, and or are not coming from a position of strength--- now no longer can invest. 

Quote from @Caleb Brown: I would focus on being an agent first and building that business.

Hello Gagan, Some important tools and resources I incorporate into my business to help finding deals is to network with local investors.

The house sits near a freeway junction and a busy street, and while my previous rental was also close to the freeway, something about this home's elevation makes the noise unbearablyintrusive.

Legal and Regulatory HurdlesReal estate transactions involve legal complexities that can overwhelm newcomers.Solution: Learn about legal requirements early on and seek professional advice when needed.

It is the cost of doing business.

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

It's like opening a business.

For reference, we're heavily involved in the co-living space, which is an unorthodox strategy but can perform exceptionally well with the right property and systems in place.
