I plan to start investing in this space more and more as I move out of the growth phase of my investing career.Value-Add OpportunitiesMy current, personal preference is with value-add opportunities as they offer all the benefits of real estate investing while also having shorter timelines and excellent returns.

Located in an excellent area for rentals.

Those properties in areas around lakes that were sold via late night tv are excellent areas to target.We had a buyer for 23 lots like that and it took 2 years we but got nearly all of them.We sent out letters to all 23 and only got one response the first month subsequent mailings every other month got anywhere from 2 -3  responses and sales. 

Being able to leverage your homes equity puts you in an excellent position to take advantage of this slower market! 

Excellent cash on cash on cash return.

We owned this property for about two months and received an excellent cash offer.
