If you're thinking about other states, parts of the Southeast like Atlanta and Charlotte have also seen a lot of activity, with strong rental demand and growing populations.As for creative financing, I’ve seen investors use DSCR loans and Fix-and-Flip loans to get deals done without needing the traditional income verification.

It seems travel nurses demand has dried out, and now I'm at the cross roads between long term rental and mid term.  

A new pool and "instagramable" design updates should increase demand and pricing, but it’s all about how that’s being communicated to potential guests.

I wondered are these numbers due to housing pricing of the neighborhood being higher or the actual demand itself, since Bellevue is considered one of the higher pricing cities in WA.

Furthermore, these start ups are usually VC funded, and the demands of their investors is that they scale up quickly, which runs counter to the ability to master even one local market well, as I detailed above. 

Just the economics of this market show there is room for prices to continue to rise - supply and demand.

With rents being up, folks are priced out and demand for rooms is high. 

I found it a great place to invest in because of it's location to major cities and the quality of life, especially with all the coastal towns along the shoreline which creates high demand and high rents. 

As a hard money lender operating in the Central Florida area, including Tampa, I can tell you that the market here remains strong, with plenty of opportunities for savvy investors.Tampa's real estate market has been quite active, with demand still high, especially in desirable neighborhoods.

For example:- "1 time $129 non-refundable set up fee paid at lease signing"- "non-refundable pet fee of $200-500 per animal applies to all pets & must be paid prior to or when you pay your first month rent"- "$30/month required resident benefit package" Just my two cents.
