Right now, I'm working with a team that helps find off market properties for investors which has been a great way to dive in and connect with experience professionals in the industry.

There they are seeing both a great job market, a number of large employers moving in, and are still in the top ten of population growth nationwide. 

I was tired of fighting with Nathan about how I wanted to grow the business.

Similarly, if you are you a medical professional with strong connections at the local hospital, then target properties (and their owners) that would attract medical travelers.

Matt Scott, Incite Venture Capital and his team can be summarized as follows: over priced, non responsive, non professional agreement breaking, chip on their shoulder and otherwise a bad investment.

I see value in working with people who want Midwest entry level homes and as well as the higher end New Construction stuff in growth markets.

For example how do you identify with confidence that your market attracts more professionals vs. families vs. bachelor/bachelorette parties, etc. and therefore how you'd know which amenities to offer?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

A strong local presence ensures that your property is being handled by someone who understands market trends, tenant expectations, and the best vendors to work with.Beyond just managing your property, your PM team should also be aligned with your investment goals and able to help you strategize for long-term growth.

Thanks Sarah, I don’t see much house hacking going on in Essex or Dundalk in terms of listings on Zillow or FB so my concern would be finding professional adult roommates that want to house share in that area. i’ve been following a lot of the midterm rental groups in Facebook and the consensus is that contracts have decreased significantly and hospitals are using more local labor pools.
