Selecting the right market for your goals and strategy is vital—but choosing can be complicated. There are many profitable investment types to explore and special considerations for each. Let’s dig into techniques for honing in on your ideal market and making connections that matter.

Choosing Local vs. Long Distance: Each approach has pros and cons—which market works best for your strategy? And where can you afford to invest?

Build Your Team: You’ll want to build out a strong team, professionals who can help you purchase a deal, fix up your property, rent, and manage it.

How to Analyze a Market for Long Term Rentals: What should an investor look for in a LTR market, and how do they measure those qualities? Time to dig into data and leverage the right resources.

How to Network as a Real Estate Investor: Get ready to build solid relationships. Plan for smart networking—think REI meetups and connecting with agents, investors, lenders, and contractors.
