Hello, For all my veteran investors how do you know when a shift is happening within a neighborhood.

The market around here has been totally mental lately, but in the last month, we have started to see a shift. 

I’m no expert and I’m not seasoned or as wealthy as a lot of folks on here but what I have seen play out with others and in my own portfolio has me shifting my focus to the following strategy buy Older duplexes triplexes and quads and do “buy and hold” apartments in c and d class neighborhoods acquire these through off market means using creative financing and tax sales use the cash flow From said apartment houses to acquire cheap off market fixer upper single family homes and sell them on lease options to tenant buyers or owner finance them off for 15 year terms at 9.9% amortization I do not  waste time or money renting out single family homes . ( not enough returns) Multi family is my only rentals .. single family is for selling off 

I emailed the secretary of state in WA (the state they are buying properties) because I can't find a search option, but I was curious if anyone had a streamlined way of doing this. 

Kurt Holmes -- Ive had to complete one eviction in my 13 years so far - someone took advantage of me when I moved out of town and was in the process of moving...anyways I had to go to court and his law firm had the majority of cases in eviction court fwiw.They have it down to a streamlined process and can complete collections as well. 

More than likely there will be 16 guys in there, day shift and night shift.

We've also learned how to streamline the leasing process.

But something seems to have shifted, so now I guess I'd say there's an equal to greater-than-equal shot that they pass the density restriction.As far as timing goes ...

And yes, you can make a difference in the mindset shift of high schoolers.   

I would follow the simple principles of streamlining systems, reducing overhead costs, raise rents and improve units as they come available.
