Hi BP folks,I have a question about a couple types of properties I keep seeing, and I’m genuinely curious how these usually play out.

But I’m genuinely torn on whether holding this first property even fits my long-term strategy anymore. 

I spent most of my career in the Air Force (cue the jokes about hotels and golf courses), then crossed over to the Space Force for the last few years (yes, we exist… and no, I don’t have a lightsaber).I own a few long-term rentals now, and I’m exploring whether it makes sense to branch into housing that supports people who genuinely need stable, structured places to live—sober living, assisted living, transitional housing, or veteran-focused housing.I’ll be upfront: I’m not looking to personally run or staff these homes.

Genuinely interested in hearing why this model isn’t considered more often because the simplest partnership arrangements are capital partnerships where most if not all duties are delegated to 3rd parties which is exactly what I am referring to.It’s one thing to let an experienced, vetted, professional as general partner “vote” on my money; it quite another to let a majority of biased, passive investor, unqualified amateurs vote on my money.  

Just genuinely curious where I can find someone and learn about what the best ways to break into real estate are.My plan from here-on-out was to either:a) Become a wholesaler.

Let’s make this thread genuinely useful for people at the beginning of the journey.

Genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives given insurance costs, storm considerations, etc. 

I’m genuinely excited about 2026.

Hard money can be useful, but it works best when you walk in with clarity on your numbers, your timeline, and your exit.When you start talking with lenders, it helps to approach the conversation with genuine curiosity, you are evaluating them the same way they are evaluating you, mutual win win, keep that in mind.

That being said, I'd like to offer a few considerations which I'm not looking for answers but genuinely want to provide you with my though process.
