How did you find your niche?

Hello Everyone,

I am currently researching real estate and trying to figure out how to find my niche. I would love to hear other people's stories for how you found your niche!

More about me if you want to give advice: I am a teacher at a private school (investing will hopefully subsidize my love of teaching) in the Denver metro area. I attended graduate school at the University of Denver (a school that has more graduate students than undergrads), I also still live near that area. I would be able to bring together investors if an opportunity was ripe.

That said, one idea my wife and I have is condo property near DU for instant cash flow. We would also like being able to scale into larger properties. I like the idea of focusing around a university since the school will outlive us. I also this could fit my niche, as I attended school there and know the area.

I am not 100% sure this is a good niche, and would love to hear how you figured out your niche and what were some key factors.

Thanks!

Try one aspect of real estate investing and if you don't love it try another then another. Even if you do love it, you can attain success from more than one type of REI. You won't find your niche until you take action.

Kudos,

Mary
