There are always cycles in real estate, but because of the size of the housing shortage, lack of new builds, and the largest economy in the country, it's hard to envision where we won't continue to see price and rent appreciation.

It can be done but it has to be in markets like we have here in Portland that has a SEVERE shortage of buildable lots and highly liquid builders or big companies to sell them to..

To answer your question: As for my market (San Diego) there is such a shortage of housing that even with a steady population we have been near nation high in RE appreciation each of the last few years.  

Also, if you knew the first thing about section 8 tenancy you would realize that there is a ginormous shortage of Section 8 housing in Detroit.

@Dennis Nikolaev The only alternative I can see is to Short Sale them, if the mtg balance is higher than what you could net from a sale.You will need to talk the Loss Mitigation dept of your lender and hire an Experienced short agent, they will know what to do and how to handle the process.

We will have a major shortage of SFR for at least a couple decades.

My experience (pre-Covid) with section 8 was there were A LOT of people searching for homes with their vouchers but a shortage of landlords either qualified or willing to accept Section 8 tenants.

All their Housing shortages are because of those foreigners.

Tech and manufacturing job growth is spurring a shortage that is continuing to drive rents and prices up.
