Best decision I've ever made. 4-6% average annual appreciation rate, stable job growth, population growth, drivable to the Bay Area, close to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, much more landlord friendly than CA, land constrained meaning limited supply, etc. 

Affordability is one of the biggest challenges in today’s housing market.I believe smaller, more dense units are part of the solution:1) Buyers can only afford smaller homes in today’s economy.2) Denser units maximize the land available, increasing housing supply to help offset demand and ultimately bring costs down overall.It’s not just about building more, it’s also about building smarter.What are your thoughts?

It is about supply and demand. 

Though I have not personally contributed to these investments for tax credits, I have personally seen these investments in action and these investments can help provide more supply of housing and development that would otherwise not be there.

As to others points rents will change with supply conditions.

@Jonathan Small government actions have led to an unprecedented 40% increase in the money supply, 50-year record inflation, record increase in interest rates, bank failures, credit tightening, CRE recession, housing affordability issues, mobility issues, inventory issues, and massive impacts to the world economies, every investment class, and our families, kids, and friends like never before. 

Limited inventory typically drives up prices for both rent and equity, as high demand meets low supply.

I know a few more people who's purchasing with him, from what I hear, every single closing was delayed due to supply shortages or other reason. 

Quote from @Michael Smythe: Besides MANY self-labeled "gurus" exaggerating their success, many of them just supply readily available info.If you're too busy to find the info and are willing to pay for it, no problem as you accept their time vs money solution.REGARDING S8 GURU ISSUES SPECIFICALLYMost of them don't share all the facts about how Section 8 actually works.They claim you can get HIGHER rent from S8 tenants vs private-paying tenants.Why would the government allow our tax dollars to be spent this way?

The Wichita market currently does not have enough supply to meet the buyers need.
