The need is much much much greater and demand will continue to outpace supply.

I'm just waiting for all of the people who bought Florida land in the past 30 years -- when global warming became widely known in society -- want the federal government to bail them out for declining property values even though they knew they were buying in vulnerable areas.

Being a remote investor will cost you more as you will need services at the location and someone trusted to handle deliveries, replenishing supplies, turnover inspections, etc.  

By expanding density, a city like Dallas would multiply the housing supply, which naturally helps balance demand and affordability.

Louis]Single-family home building permits serve as a leading indicator of future housing supply trends.

All that building that's happening means more supply which equals lower rents.

This is because so much new multi family supply has come online.

The problem: Yes they will buy, but they will also sell, so it becomes a wash in terms of supply and demand. 

For example, if you buy in a semi-rural area or suburban area the pool of applicants can be much smaller and with an increase in supply it creates a downward pressure on prices and higher days on market averages.
