I call this the hybrid approach, maybe investing locally in deals for your active spirit if time, skills and interest are there while balancing more difficult DIY projects out side of you area w/passive focus in niche areas like large scale value add apartment investing, mobile home parks and self storage for instance.  

If so different types of real estate as in commercial/ MF/SF/ mobile homes?

I've specifically been looking at Home Healthcare agencies.

There are so many required disclosures and agency issues involved where an agent can stumble into trouble dealing with both sides of the transaction that many listing agents simply don't want to deal with an unrepresented buyer, or their brokerages require they designated separate agents to avoid agency issues. 

Most skirt this with "Small Homes" by putting them on wheels so they are considered mobile homes and don't need to be as big. 

If the property did not require these, since the property was built, and has been inspected by a code agency and passed,  that actually it is difficult to prove that you have done anything wrong.
