The property is a brand new construction that I own outright and the rental market in this city is very strong as of now there is quite the shortage.

The housing shortage is real.

We have no shortage of deals so this would just be another one in our pipeline nothing special..

If there is a shortage of housing you can charge more rent.

Last piece of advice is to raise additional capital because shortages while building ground up can be a painful proposition.

I have heard there is a large shortage of section 8 housing in Youngstown.

As the technology continues to progress and they continue to get things more dialed in, I do think it could help quickly build reasonable homes to address the housing shortage.

The good news is that in cities like Berkeley with aggressive rent control, there is always a shortage of available rental units (the rent board bureacrats constantly find ways to perpetuate the housing shortage upon which their jobs depend).

In fact I am managing $500k project now where I am bidding out materials purchasing through the supply house.If you, the customer.... purchase the material, pick it up, load and unload it, make it safe in your project house, deal with any shortages, overages or returns, take on all warranty issues, etc, etc, then I suppose you could justify not paying the GC any markup. 

But there’s only so much juice you can squeeze out of a portfolio.Interest rates are coming down and activity will increase in 2025, though the housing shortage is keeping prices elevated.So what can investors do?
