During summer graduation for the local colleges, there is always an abundance of families who want to come to town to see their relatives graduate--and a shortage of hotel space.

Wanted to get some opinions on this....I'm looking at a CRE deal in the Downtown area of my town; great foot traffic, historic, etc.It's currently set-up as multiple office spaces for rent and not positively cash flowing; but there is a ton of potential with proper management and some renovation.So, my thoughts, purchase under my buy and a hold company and then have my real estate business rent space there to cover the shortage until we are positively cash flowing.We've needed an office space for awhile now anyway and it would allow us to write off the loss.Thoughts?

There's really no shortage of platforms. 

AFFORDABLE HOUSING shortage is almost in a crisis situation in many areas.

If you are marketing constantly and networking with others in the industry, there is never a shortage of properties.

He sounds like a good tenant, are you willing to use part of the last month rent to supplement the shortage?

I wonder if we're nearing or at the peak, or is this just a shortage of available inventory, particularly of 3+ bedrooms?

My realtor informed me there is a shortage in rentals on the southside.

and we wonder why there is a RE shortage????

We also have no shortage of Corp.
