Hello guys and gals,I’m looking to get into real estate investing and more specifically residential SF rental property in the Midwest.

You'd have to be specific about the area you're referring to for anyone to be able to answer the question about demand.

I live and work in Ocala so any specific questions about area I would love to try and help.  

Or you can sell and 1031 into a specific fund account used for this very reason: exit from property management but hold onto your tax advantaged status.

If you're open to providing feedback or exploring potential partnerships, I'd love to connect.Please feel free to comment or reach out for more details.

Cory - I've found honing in on a specific vacancy rate for a specific smaller market to be tough...

Make contact with nearby property management firms, brokers, or real estate agents; they could be able to provide you with details on forthcoming events.Remember, networking and learning from others in your local community can be invaluable as you start your real estate journey.

Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.As for picking a specific market - I would go after one with an increasing job and population growth.

Continue researching and networking to gather insights specific to your area, and don't hesitate to consult with real estate professionals for advice tailored to your situation.

I have done partnerships in the past and we normally draw up an LLC and then find the property to buy since it's pretty cheap and good to hammer out any details beforehand.
