Single Family
There are roughly 95 million single-family homes in the U.S. Single-family home investing revolves around buying, renting and selling these homes in order to make a profit. Single-family homes are intended and zoned for one household, as opposed to multi-family which is based on two or more households. There are more single-family homes in America than any other form of real estate, varying from small frame bungalows to giant masonry mansions, and the investment options are just as varied. Since over 50% of all Americans own a home, this is an investment sector that they readily understand, with a simple business model.

Providers
Brokers & Lenders
No buyer can succeed without assistance from those who can source deals, as well as finance them.
Brokers are an important part of finding properties to buy. This is their specialty, and they typically have listings that are both “public” as well as “private” (those that they are not allowed to reveal to the public due to restrictions from the seller). Successful buyers contact all of the brokers in their niche to see what listings they may have, as well as to get set up in their email database for announcements of new listings.
