You're facing a classic rent-versus-buy dilemma with a few unique factors, and it's smart to carefully weigh your options.

What a unique name!

Here's an opportunity that is currently listed in a good neighborhood (Medical Center).

And definitely not some magic pill to investing in RE on easy mode.Buying a new community with 300-500 new builds but no unique-ness is just buying into a saturated set up.

I’m looking to connect with experienced investors who are actively buying in these areas, as well as get advice on the best strategies and platforms for sourcing off-market properties.Specifically, I’d love insight on:Where wholesalers in NY/NJ are currently finding leads (marketing channels, platforms, etc.)How to navigate the unique legal and market challenges of wholesaling in these statesInvestors who are open to JV opportunities or purchasing wholesale dealsAny recommended local resources, networks, or events that would help me growI’m serious about building solid relationships, learning the ropes, and adding value wherever I can.

How do you get in contact with medical professionals?

They host very unique "needs, wants, trades" meet ups on Friday's and is a great place to meet people involved in the business and are looking to make connections. 

While there's no shortage of options out there,as you mentioned, such as PropStream, DealCheck, REI Simpli, and Podio, the aim is to stand out by honing in on what really matters to investors: ROI, value, performance, efficiency, and possibly price.Expanding on what matters as outlined earlier, here are my assumptions regarding what investors might require if I were to launch a product today:User-Friendly Experience: A platform that feels like second nature to real estate investors, with intuitive design and features that make life easier.All-in-One Solutions: A toolbox stacked with everything necessary for successful investing—from finding leads to analyzing deals and managing properties.Seamless Integration: Make workflow smoother by seamlessly connecting with other essential tools and platforms you rely on.Insightful Analytics: Next-level decision-making with advanced analytics and data visualization that help you optimize investment strategies.Now, the challenge lies in the fact that every investor is unique, and the features might be excessive if they don't offer genuine value.

These types of unique attractions tend to hold up better even in a down economy with well-to-do travels coming from far away, even when local more budget conscious folks need to curb their spending.Short of that, like @Michael Baum mentioned, anything in a good market that can set you apart from the competition is always a plus (waterfront, beachfront, etc…) The competition can always keep pace with you by adding a game room, hot tub, etc… But they’re not making more waterfront.Good luck!

A dozen other reasons unique to you.If you decide to sell, I would look into doing a 1031 exchange.
