If youre a member, there is a segment at the start called "quick pitch" -- where you could literally pitch your deal in front and then just network with people after.2) Multifamily Passive Cashflow for Life https://www.meetup.com/Passive-Income-from-Multiunit-Apartments-Mobile-Home-Parks/- great meetup focusing on apartments, some mobile home and self-storage.

Real estate lawyers as well, but I won't cast a long shadow on an entire segment of the industry.

It's hard to stand out.There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

We have a significant segment up to $2000 and then there is the luxury and ultra luxury segment - where I live in Mequon you can rent a townhouse for $4,400...Keep in mind that your attitude to your property will be reflected by the tenant ("whatever is cheap, it's just a rental" mindset).
