Find something commercially zoned, use it as STR while it's hot, then if the market crashes, you have the option of turning it into retail, long term vacation rental, or a community living space( rent it to a sober living, foster care or private home facility).

@Brian Foster Thanks for the advice and kind words.

@Dave Foster I heard that in the recent episode as well.

Quote from @Steven Foster Wilson: I have rented fully furnished rooms here in Columbus to college students and travel nurses.

I am eager to collaborate with Bigger Pockets contributors to learn more about expanding my business and to get insight on different types of investing.

@Brian Foster Amen brother. 

@Dave Foster - Thank you.The more I look into it the more risk and complexity it seems to add on my side of the equation with no significant benefit (as opposed to just selling outright). 

I am finishing up some books to help round out my base knowledge, but would love to connect and network with other investors to exchange knowledge and just develop friendships and connections that can help foster discussions about getting the most out of real-estate investing!

These goals are the same for LTR, MTR, and coliving.So I'm genuinely curious where "foster the household's sense of community" or whatever falls on your list of priorities, and what are the specific things you are doing to make this happen?

They are also probably close to retirement and I'd like to foster a working relationship with someone who I can grow with.
