Quote from @John Reagan Johnson: I am new to the real estate industry and am looking to connect and exchange businessIf you are new I would suggest something totally different. 

Build - rent - refinance -repeat. in columbus ohio you are buying old houses that are 1900 or 1920 or 1940 and you are in a sellers market. on the other hand you can source land which is a buyers market and build single family homes or duplex or triplexes that will return by renting and pulling cash out on a DSCR loan and doing it again. there aren't a lot of strategies that do this. flipping is different. so many risks. but when someone has a well oiled machine it's all good and less risk.

At the end of the project I started asking different questions to my realtor, who I still use.

One difference was to have two properties appreciating (though at very different rates as they were in different areas) instead of 1.

Market Complexity in Different CitiesReal estate markets can vary significantly between different cities and regions in Germany.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I think you need to focus on one strategy first before you explore too many different options.

Events like this give the opportunity to meet and talk to investors from all over the country, doing different kind of investing, and with a varied amount of experience.

You might also want to consider single-family homes with ADUs or properties with extra rentable space as an alternative strategy.It’s great that you’re looking to connect with investor-friendly agents and potential partners—having the right team makes all the difference.

If you had experience, capital and deals then it'd be different.
