Things like high demand, high risk, DOM and such. 

It's sick and I demand justice.

When demand is high, your returns will be lower.  

Although I don't personally like the trends, they were supported the City of BBL's October Compliance & Occupancy Data, which provided the following:1 - The occupancy rate for October was 38%, which compares to 55% prior year; 2 - Average nightly revenue dropped by 36% on a year-over-year basis; and3 - Demand decreased by 22% on a year-over-year basis, while SUPPLY ALSO INCREASED by 13%!

Quote from @Jackson Ebersole: Hi Piper,It's always smart to flip properties in-state, and I'd like to share some updated insights on why this approach is beneficial, especially in the New Jersey area.Lenders typically feel more comfortable with in-state flips because:You can manage the rehab more easilyYou have better knowledge of local real estate trends and valuesYou can respond quickly to issues or make decisions fasterThere's a lower risk of fraud or being taken advantage of by distant partnersI can help you with recommendations for the New Jersey market:North Bergen: Continues to show strong potential, with average profits now around $150,000 per flip and a gross ROI of 85%.Willingboro: While specific flip numbers aren't available, the market remains active with a gross ROI now averaging around 130%.Gloucester City: Still a top performer, with gross ROI hovering around 180-190%, though still on smaller profit margins.Irvington: Home values have continued to rise, with a 20% increase over the past two years.East Orange: Has seen steady growth, with home values up by about 16% since 2022.Paterson: Experienced a 14% increase in home values over the last two years.Additionally, Jersey City and Newark have emerged as promising markets for flips, with strong appreciation rates and growing demand.

More units = more options :).Its supply and demand.

But, It’s truly is one of the three reasons I use a PM for the rest  1) I don’t want to screen, I don’t really like meeting new people.2) I want to stay legal in my screening, notices, demands, etc etc3) They raise rents more and faster than I would and collect more in late fees.They literally pay for themselves with increased rent/fees and I get the legal and people screening for free. 

This significant growth suggests a strong demand for housing in the area.- Rental Opportunities: With a rental vacancy rate of 6.0%, there's a reasonable balance between supply and demand in the rental market.

With a favorable market and minimal improvements needed, we saw a profitable opportunity to capitalize on the high demand in the area.

Its a great place to house hack, the rental market is in high demand so you can always find renters.
