This information is from each lender I have asked, whether a local, regional, or national lender.

Where there is sustained and significant population growth, the current housing supply will not meet demand so prices rise until the number of sellers roughly matches the number of buyers.

Hi @Joseph Shuster, hope you didn't sustain any damages from the recent flooding in Tennessee.

The other option I would consider is regional credit unions that hold onto mortgages/loans and don't sell them to the secondary market - they are "portfolio lenders" and have the ability to be more flexible with their terms.

Coming out from the Advertising industry in the city for the past 10 years i'm now situated out east on the north fork of Long island and looking for make moves in this region in real estate.Looking to connect with likeminded people and start to grow a network and community around me.

That's the case everywhere...and each region comes with its own set of challenges.

While off market deals may be your ideal scenario in securing an investment - lets discuss ways in which i can also possibly make that happen for you.Personal Standpoint - Wholesalers -  i would be interested in investing outside my region should there be an opportunity in fix and flip or BRRRR.

@Lamar AthillWhen it comes to Wholesaling it is important to understand that it actually revolves more about marketing then actual "Real estate-ing"you market for off-market sellers while market for buyers to get that spread.It is relatively easy to get into the field, but takes a bit of work to make it sustainable on an ongoing basis.I would say the first thing is to really understand the buyer criteria your markets and what houses are desirable and point your efforts there.

Specifically, the Groveland and Oakhurst regions seem promising if I can find the right deal.I would love to hear from anyone with experience in short-term rentals in these areas.

Selling to either Regional Supplier OR a Wholesaler.
