Know the neighborhood, target market and the future better than others.As a long-time real estate investor, good, sound, and predictable returns vs. risk are the key factors.When presenting an investment opportunity to an investor, your presentation should demonstrate why this investmement will be a good and enduring performer in the neighborhood.It is not about the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, it is about does your investment consideration have the ability to outperform in the neighborhood with enduring results.If you seek fast money today, many old and establish investors will pass the consideration.

I'm fairly new to the game myself and live in Raleigh.

Has anyone tried to establish an HOA in an existing space?
