Many investors are shifting their strategy a bit — either targeting smaller multifamily properties, secondary markets just outside the big metro areas, or projects that need light rehab to force some equity and improve rents.It can also help to work directly with agents who specialize in investment properties, not just retail listings, or to tap into off-market options like wholesalers and local REI groups.
