@Chris Kendrickthat's why i asked you to clarify - you said "how in the world can someone get in this competitive space"i didn't know whether you meant buy, or sell or rentmy rentals are rehabbed, high quality, and priced competitively, and I allow pents - so they rent quicklyi don't flip so can't answer that for you

Americans unleashed a flurry of pent-up demand for dining out, entertainment and vacations, aided by savings amassed from government relief, months of curbed spending and rock-bottom borrowing costs.Meanwhile, the rapid economic restart snarled global supply chains.

As we recover from the pandemic here in the Disney market, this is an interesting time to invest with strong pent up demand from travelers for the coming months.

We see a strong pent up demand even now, and this should only increase as international travel restrictions are lifted.

At 6%, debt service is about $1,799/Mo.However, once interest rates begin to fall, prices will almost instantly increase due to pent-up demand.

In other words, did the pandemic create pent-up demand and a temporary market imbalance that is subject to correction/normalization? 

@David Richman I was on a conf. call with about 12 agents today and they seem optimistic that there will be pent up demand after this (I think there will also be pent up supply). 

But there is so little inventory and enough pent-up demand that any dips in interest rates will add fuel (more buyers) to the fire.

If rates go down in the future, this could unlock pent-up demand for single-family residences (SFR) in North Texas, driving prices up.

With our higher prices, rent control causing pent up demand, and some recent local value pullback there are lots of factors working against this strategy.
