I transitioned to student housing in 2012 and joined a startup that focused on campus adjacent (but university unaffiliated) luxury student housing across the United States. 

I'm currently in the military and will be transitioning to the next chapter in a few years.

I’m currently working as a nurse ( 30 yrs) & looking to transition.

I'm especially interested in hearing from anyone who transitioned from another career and jumped in full time.

Im located in Waukesha and my wife and I are transitioning into Real Estate as a primary business.

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.

The border at Aramingo is arguably harsher as it is near the transition between Port Richmond to the rougher part of Kensington where most of the heroine activity is prevalent. 

I do want to transition into commercial but not by unloading my first house.

I'll have to look into other strageties untill I have the money avaiable for a deal that I can use to transition from my day job into

After you get educated "assuming you want to go buy larger apartment complexes", I would suggest investing passively with a high-end operator to see a deal in real-time develop and transition.
