I suspect most who requested cash for keys had previously received cash for keys.What I do instead is explain:- the housing shortage in my market and that an eviction will forever make it difficult to find a quality rental in this market. - I will ding their credit such that all credit cards and other debt will cost them more.- I will keep their security deposit for funds owed.- I will do my best to garnish future wages until their debt to me is paid in full.This has worked 100% time so far.  

I’m thinking with Metro, University Hospitals, and Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Med School in the area, there should be no shortage of travel medical professionals coming to the area!  

This cultural preference for renting creates a steady demand for rental properties, ensuring reliable cash flow for property owners.Additionally, many Germans face a significant shortage of affordable housing, particularly in major cities like Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg.

It's a very interesting concept to address housing shortages in specific areas.Concerns:What happens when they inevitably expand too quickly?

That being said, there is a shortage of rentals in the area so a simple post to Facebook Marketplace or join the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/ElkhornandWalworthCountyOnli... 

We have a chronic housing shortage that impacts both retail and renters. 

I know a few more people who's purchasing with him, from what I hear, every single closing was delayed due to supply shortages or other reason. 

Where I live, we still have a severe shortage of homes--median time on market is still 7 days and it would likely be shorter if not for delayed negations being the norm. 

Now track either housing shortages or for sale supply, or on market data for those same data Points.When you do this, you will question why you are even thinking about the Stock market. 

Being new I would suggest started with existing builds but building small multifamily in a small town with a rental shortage could be a smart move (someone's gotta do it).
