I have no problems stating that they know their business, understand the market and in many cases, for certain areas, literally know building-by-building who owns it, when it last traded, the condition of the property, the tenant base, etc, etc.

One thing I would add is to look into the "house-hacking" strategy.

The BRRR strategy and owning multi-family units specifically interests me.
