Our insurer is progressively adopting a policy that they will not cover water damage  caused by water heaters of 12 years of age or older.Still, the alarms work and I have avoided damage because of them.

Hi Joseph, Have you made any progress in pursuing this niche? 

@Dustin GaleHi Dustin, Any progress with your relative’s deal?

At this point I just want some steady SFD thru probably a triplex to cash flow until I get my feet on the ground.

This deal is progressing as follows.

Let me know if you have made any progress in it and I would be happy to share as I research if you are interested.

If you are doing it locally than you're likely in tune with trends, path of progress and what is a "deal". 

Double and Triple Check YOUR OWN comps (if you are currently using Zillow, find an agent friend that will give you MLS access) and have a criterion that is flexible enough to change as you progress and learn.

I would say that the there would be a significant pool of renters with steady jobs. 

I know real estate is a lot of work and is filled with unknowns, so I have spent a great deal of time trying to forecast errors and get as much advice as possible before I dive in.I know you can only do so much of this planning but after listening to a BP podcast and hearing them reference the website discussion I figured I should start posting asap for others in a similar boat to track my progress.
