.- Given the demand, buying on through MLS will be tough.

No surprise, this, along with job growth (HP is a large employer) forces prices to stay high as demand creeps up too.

I'm keeping this property for the appreciation (in a high demand area with great schools) and low interest rate for now.  

Substantially all participation.3.

Depending on the neighborhood, there simply might not be a lot of demand but I would not get discouraged.

Re-read your contracts, document your correspondence (and attempts) with your builder and demand documentation to match up any payments/draws with what's actually been competed on your build.

And it would blow your mind the massive demand for there service.

The plumber’s report indicates that the leak may have been caused by an overflowing tub or sink upstairs, but the tenant in that bedroom denies any such incident.As a result, I now have substantial expenses for the plumber and restoration company, including drywall repairs, painting, texturing, and reinstalling electricals.

You need to pay attention to things like rental demand, upcoming developments, and overall area growth potential.

While prices are low (under $200k), there's absolutely a rental demand - especially for working class and professional tenants who aren't ready to buy.
