That is dissapointing that they did not vet the people they would be spending hours and hours touring properties.

Some people are able to save money and budget and others are not really good at it.

Lower land and building costs mean higher returns on investment, and there’s a quiet but consistent need for quality housing as remote work and cost-of-living shifts draw people away from cities.

I have a feeling i can start something with some people we know and I always network when I can, so that could add more likeminded people. 

So I'm good at finding people.

That would absolutely be scoffed at by most people. 

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

There are a lot of people caught with their pants down on readjustment. 

There are plenty of people looking to deploy cash into real estate but don’t have the knowledge or bandwidth to run a successful flip or BRRRR.

I recommend people only sell if (a) you can invest the capital in something that performs better, or (b) it aligns with your goals.
