I better to do a lot of homework ahead of time to narrow down a certain class of asset, its geographic location etc, before selling my existing SFH.  

They are looking for longer hold times, less risk, and steady cash flow, and are willing to accept a lower IRR (or don't even care about IRR at all) than the first type of investor.So the strategy is to acquire the property with investor type A, fix it up, raise rents, pump the value, and exit...but instead of exiting to a third-party, they recap with investor type B and hold the property for years or even decades. 

After the couple of times a year doing band aid fixes I have learned it would have just been cheaper to go with a new install rather than repairs when they start to get issues. 

In that circumstance, special rules under IRC Sec. 732(c) will apply.For property received in a nontaxable distribution, a partner's holding period includes the partnership's holding period [IRC Secs. 735(b) and 1223(2)].This is a complicated issue. 

Like others have said you'll need narrowed down market research, property type (single/multi), rehab budgeting, and finding a DEAL that works on paper.

That often helps narrow down the neighborhoods.

You need the numbers, a niche, and a narrow search.
