I believe the real estate investment ecosystem needs wholesalers, fix and flippers and buy and holders.

If you take the MLS deals out of the picture, these off market properties are early 1900's, diverse in regards to investment strategies, and they meet the $150-$200 a door.

Have lived in and out of Burlington since going to UVM and graduating in 2008.I work as a therapist for a home health company and looking to real estate to diversity my investments portfolio and generate cash flow in order to give me and my family options in the future in regards to how we want to spend our time.

I gave the area a visit, felt pretty safe to me, however neighborhoods are very diverse (you might sometimes even see a neighborhood with good house that would sit perfect in a A class and next to it a house that would look like a C class)Feels more like a buyers market than a rental one but not so sure about it.I am giving it some final thoughts and will make a decision if I will buy a property I was checking out there next week, will keep you posted.

Low cost of entry and a diverse economy, you can get a lot more doors under your belt in this area for the price.

I don't own properties there, but from what I understand: lower price to entry, higher cap rates, less sophisticated investor ecosystem (this could be good or bad).
