Too many people are sleeping on this.Kentucky Economic Development has many site ready properties in smaller areas that are ripe for rentals. 

People started to ask me to help them learn how to invest so I started coaching new investors over the past 7 years on how to start investing in real estate.

There are lots of helpful people in this forum and LOTS of posts to scour.

People should stop applying sale of goods theories to it.    

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

I live in a small town in eastern Arizona, about 7000 people, and we have a pretty serious shortage of rental properties.

a lot of people will poo poo this, but I also live in a market where cash flow is low, property taxes are high and properties are expensive (which is a relative term).

CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot. 

Hey Kyle, Checkout Adam Locklear he offers mentoring to people who want to learn more about real estate investing. 

I think I went through 3 different people that were over my account because they would quit.
