In Columbus, the number of houses dropped this year by the peak in 2021 by 10,000 sales, but new construction has gone up every year by units and percentage.

Theres definitely some differentiation in the industry (outside of conventional), but a lot of the true product is definitely "the same" so service is really really key for brokers, so a poor experience should equal replaceable in my mind

A good associate of mine (we do a lot of deals together) owns a commercial debt negotiating company and wanted to expand from direct telephone sales solicitation to social media.  

As far a business ideas go - I have always liked providing a service as opposed to a product, so I think this fits that window. 

Also, the sale of a primary residence can qualify for a significant capital gains exclusion under certain conditions.Given the complexity of your situation, especially considering the limited partnership and owner financing aspects, consulting with a tax professional familiar with real estate investments is advisable.

Where are you sourcing product & what exit strategies do you think you'll focus on?

Thank you in advance Deferred Sales Trust. 

Maybe I am the one who is asking the wrong question :) In terms of the neighborhood, you can learn alot from demographic data(this tells you what it's like right now), sales trend data(this tells you how it's projecting - are you seeing an increase in property values) and new listings..are now homes being built, are other rehabbers in the area, are there LOTS of rentals or only a few.

They are looking to either keep it as a rental or occupy and rent out their current property.I understand the large risk of buyer non-payment and activation on due-on-sale clause.

The key is that the investment portion of the duplex needs to meet his reinvestment requirements which are to purchase at least as much as his net sale.
