While the entire REI industry excites me, I am deciding to jump into the buy and hold/rental income segment 1stMy story-I currently live in Orlando Florida, and intend on purchasing my first few properties in the state, targeting Central and North Florida Areas.

Not very targeted. 

@Nancy Mascorro Really depends on who your target clients are and what they are looking for.

@Naj Brock  What areas in NYC are you looking to target?

Right now it is a huge target and costing you thousands per year in lost income.

As we all know, this is an awesome target in the real estate investing world.I need a complete list of addresses and names.

I am interested in learning how others have 1) been able to gain confidence in selecting their target markets and 2) how they've built teams to manage these properties whose incentives are alligned with the investors. 

The other STRS I operate and own are high dollar properties and are usually pricier but have performed very well for me, so I like to target that.

Partner Driven added value to the N Cox St deal by investing $30,000 in targeted renovations.

This means more than just providing a clean space; it involves thoughtful touches like welcome baskets, local guides, and amenities that cater to your target audience (families, business travelers, etc.).
