Our area has a FOR RENT Facebook page which will give you more visibility and you can get some feedback by the comments.Without compromising your standards, can you find a niche that sets you apart, like allowing large dogs, or adding something desirable to the property?

hi, i decided  to knock on doors which I prefer face to face contact  is the best...Thursday will be my fourth day farming one particular area in miami...I am not trying to be all over the place so I don't go crazy...I find myself networking with just about everybody and their moms...if you know what I mean lol...just joking...but I will keep you updated with the progress...wish me luck!!!!!!!

When you decide what you would prefer to invest in.

Likewise another would be they are in between closings on their primary residence/commercial and prefer to rent in the interim than lodge/purchase in a hotel/storage.What is an issue is where they conduct business as such.

As I began finding opportunities and closing deal, I then learned what I needed and the types of people I preferred to work with. 

Instead of focusing on a niche or a acquiring funds or finding deals or figuring out the right strategy, just think about how you can be of value to other real estate investors.

All that being said, I tend to prefer to look at the actual cash sales data in the MLS or tax records versus going off of what people tell me.

The other asset classes I have friends (other brokers) who have been doing that niche for decades.On a macro scale every asset class cycles generally in 10 year increments but at different points in time.My view currently is that SFR in many markets started a recovery in 2009, 2010.

Lenders prefer someone that has a full time job!!

Having a 10-12 years investment plan to build up a portfolio to sustain my retirement I consider Dubai RE market too volatile and I don't feel safe for my strategy, unless a future drop of prices will make me change my mind.On the other side, the town I live in Italy, north of Rome, is still economically very weak, still overpriced and not offering interesting ROI.So, the idea is to look for opportunities in Europe (my niche is students rental), searching for areas with a good growth potential and ROI.
