Hi Dylan Barth we have found the market in the cities to be highly saturated with duplexes available for sale.

Hey all,How does one determine if a given market is at or near saturation for apartments?

DFW does seem saturated, and sometimes I worry about competition, but I do try to keep an abundance mentality.

And as we see neighborhood after neighborhood change from owner occ exclusively  and with the huge amount of apartment construction.. at some point there has to be saturation.. if population cant keep up with owner occ homes now becoming rentals.. 

Since then lots of homes have continued to open, small and large, saturating the market.

For those veterans of Central Texas real estate, my question centers on the topic : how to combat both the over-valuation of Austin-area properties and saturation of "weekend warrior" investors who simply overpay for distressed homes.Obviously, we are working in a market with high-demand -- due to the 100+ new residents we gain on a daily basis -- and short-supply.

I have my doubts with the rate apartment building developers are pouring into Quincy, I fear the market might become over saturated in 2 to 5years time.That said, I think I prefer multi-family over single unit, because of the higher rate of returns on investment.I wish you the best with your venture!   

Even if the location is bad or market is saturated, anything will rent at the right price.

Is the market over saturated with rentals?

Another factor is that the new investors are over saturating the market and causing there to be too much inventory, having to make all the bigger guys drop their price (which most don't mind doing because they rather sell quicker and move on).
