You can go down the path of multiple, 4-unit, residential investment properties (max number of units for residential loan terms), or start in multi-tenant net lease small shopping plazas and have tenants pay all expenses including taxes and insurances (my current choice).I don’t know your locale well enough to state the demographics that support one choice over another, but congratulations on your success.

When we evaluate a real estate income opportunity we consider:  1. demographics 2. the property location in the market 3. price point of acquisition, 4. 

I'm looking to expand in the Ohio area, but would like to get a little more insight on the demographics from local investors.C

I assume cozy users are the same demographic as those with bank accounts?

Since they cannot find it in traditional debt instruments, investors are doing all kinds of things to get income exposure.Given the demographic trends in the United States, I do see this as being a persistent problem.

I qualify that by stating I only invest in areas that are growing demographically. 

Both are good cash flow markets and also have strong economic and demographic fundamentals like growing populations and jobs.

Demographic trends may be telltale too.

Also, local residents or the community may not like as they are afraid of changing the demographics and culture of the neighborhood. 

If there is a buy and hold market, who is the demographic renting; i.e. college students, government employees, etc.?
