Well, I do have a passion for real estate, I just need to find my niche...... any suggestions on that topic?

I would highly suggest deciding what niche you want to focus on.

Plenty of reasons why, but mainly because the inventory is low and the neighborhoods are unique.

Even though I haven't been actively investing I am constantly looking for ways to educate myself in this business such as reading books and blog posts, listening to podcasts, watching videos, and attending a few local meet ups.During my research and preparation, I have found a niche that I would like to really focus on.Today I visited my county courthouse and interacted with the Register of Wills Clerk who was kind enough to show me how to use the system to check the open probates list.

MICs now play an increasingly important role in catering to underserved niches because the new regulatory environment has created many gaps for borrowers.Not only has the MIC sector grown in size in the last five years, but it has also evolved from being a minor player in the market to becoming far more established and professionally run with significant investment in infrastructure and technology, and improved regulatory compliance.

Some businesses compete on price, some compete on service, some compete on unique product, etc.

Location is unique to the springs, gulf, camping and short drive(1.5 hr) to the beaches and theme park.This will be my first STR and first time building/designing a vacation home.

Maybe this is an opportunity for wholesalers to fill this niche.
