There is a shortage for rentals.

Another beautiful thing is, the value of these homes continues to increase, especially with the stick built, on-site home shortage that we face, and needing to house the massive amount of people moving to Florida every year.

I have two listings in 55+ now and they wont' even allow a sign in the yard or open houses, typically very controlling HOA's.We have no shortage of 55+ communities from low end mobile home parks to high end golf resorts (think The Villages), so budget and location will play a key, but lifestyle should also be considered.

@Jay LeeA few thoughts:* Increased deposit* First and last up front* Review the credit to determine debt load to give you an idea whether the shortage of 3x rent is a real deal killer or not.* Check all prior references carefully and glean any character info you can. * Make sure your lease is as airtight as possible* Attempt to get them on auto-pay if possibleYou say he’s “going through” a divorce.

In your experience, how much "weight" does a land owner hold when there is a shortage of land in a particularly hot market, in a partnership situation? 

Chicago has long been a city that’s had a housing shortage. as far as evictions are concerned, those folks not in subsidized housing were affected more so than low or no income section 8 renters. 

Their unit is a 5-BR rented out by rooms, each for $50-60 a day.I also know someone who rents out a bedroom in his owner-occupied townhouse in Berryessa, but don't know how well it went.But basically there's a shortage for hotels and the demand is good.I would be happy to connect with those people.

I thought that the TP shortage was largely over hyped.

There is no housing inventory shortage, just a shortage of listings on the MLS.A property owner has more avenues to sell their house outside of the MLS and dealing with Realtors than ever before, and some of those avenues can get them full market value without having to pay a Realtors commission and have much easier processes.But I'm still trying to work out the buyers side. 

This shortage of developable land where most people want to buy and rent is good news for investors, as it should ensure high capital gains and rental yields in the years ahead.I hope this helps.
