What made you expand your buying criteria?

[Julia McManus]

I work with many investors, some of which are stringent in their buying criteria (area, exit strategy, etc.). I am inquiring if there's a specific event, amount of experience or capital that made investors expand their criteria or become less specific in their boundaries. I understand starting with distinct criteria to start your investment journey, but wondering what it took for that to change (if it ever did). Since it is about returns at the end of the day, I'm interested to pick the brain of the Bigger Pocket community to see the evolution of this aspect of investing. Thank you in advance for any insight.
