For me (landlord), it makes renting a unit much easier, and attracts more qualified tenants.

Initially; wholesaling seemed attractive but because it's the least expensive path to travel I have a feeling that the road is heavily congested.

And most places they tend to attract a younger, more upscale tenant.

I have a decent position in the firm I work for, but we're expected to generate our own clients/buyers -and I have no idea as to how to attract investors.

Plaza Midwood and NoDa are very attractive to the young professional crowd so they are driving up values in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Since he's going to be better handling the financial side and attracting investors, I'm looking for my niche in the company, other than vp of organization.

If you are unable to find bank financing you should be in a strong position to structure a deal that would be attractive to a private lender.

You are looking to buy an owner occupied residence and you can buy a distressed property (bank repo, not necessarily a fixer upper) which is usually a fair amount below retail value ahead of investors with very attractive financing terms.

I have had deals like this in the past, but the monthly positive cash flow wasn't as attractive as this.

As the majority of net lease participants expect cap rates to decline further in 2013, properties with long term leases will be more difficult to find as many current owners will hold given the attractive refinance rates available.
