I prefer to buy properties that need work. 

Because of that, the majority of people here prefer detached lifestyle (SFR) except in the luxury apartment and condo market downtown.

In addition, there are a few main components of the structure to consider: exemption status (506b vs 506c), equity split, preferred return, fees and waterfall hurdles.

I prefer text messages personally, so I have my tenants text me. 

Student Housing rentals is definitely a niche market. 

Through automation and streamlined service through technology we have been able to drastically reduce the cost of participating in the hotel industry and created a model that allows us to target niche markets.

I personally prefer condos, duplexes, triplexes, etc.

It's standard practice for all legal notifications to be in writing, preferably by regular mail, but these days email notification may suffice.

I live in the Boston area, have 2 multi's & have a full time job ( self-employed) .So , Boston to Rhode Island , would be my travel (2 1/4 hours) .....don't mind periodically traveling to keep checking the property, in fact I prefer to do that.

But it is perhaps the most competitive niche of one of the already most competitive markets in the country.
