Across Socorro, 88 active buyers account for approximately 653 investor-held properties. Fewer than 1.0 purchases per buyer over the past year means buying is thinly spread, so breadth of outreach matters more than any one contact.
Strategy here skews to buy & hold, which accounts for 67.3% of tracked deals. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
