In the second half of the year, market by market, the supply will slow to near record lows, which will be a key theme in 2026.

Number 1 reason for non-rental is $ price of rent, second is the season, I say the season is Thanksgiving to Super Bowl. 

Got into the home with a low down payment , made repairs, rented and refinanced to pay off line and eliminate the PMI.

It's a low barrier to entry and a good option for you, I would highly and I mean highly recommend you focus on location.

Where trust is low, though, things are slower or more expensive or both.- Understand that you can have never more than 2/3 of the following:  Fast, Good, and Cheap.  

"Master Group", "Winners Circle", or whatever - where they will promise to hold your hand, find you deals, find you money, find you whatever you need - all for the low low price of (in my case) $45,000 for a 2 year membership.  

@Anshuman ThakurThere are some very good advantages to investing in Nevada, low property taxes, no income tax, and landlord friendly.

The overall inventory is higher due to the season.

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

Keep in mind that this is also a very tough time to be entering the market as an agent because the inventory is so low.
