There is such a massive shortage of good contractors that the bad ones are the only ones that can get to a job... and will charge what any top of the line contractor will. 

The turn-over is a killer @Tony Gaultney There isn't a housing shortage in St.

When we decided to break our lease, we had no shortage of people searching for long term units, however, many of the applicants were not able to meet the minimum 700 credit score threshold that the owner was looking for. 

Note that the most that ever has to be paid back on the reverse mortgage is the value of the home, so if they owe more than the home is worth, the homeowner isn't on the hook for the shortage.

They also have a list of interested buyers in place, some whom they have worked with in the past, so they are able to develop the land with their needs in mind.Your suggestion that the CA housing shortage was fabricated is an interesting one that I have not yet heard of or considered.

More monthly MKE market data.The housing shortage also includes the rental market and we also have seen rents go up, especially for properties in nice condition and most MF are still cash flow positive right out of the gate, even though much less than we have seen in the past, but it also seems that now we are adding appreciation to the ROI equation.

The shortage of available homes for sale persisted throughout the year, contributing to heightened competition among buyers.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss more in depth as to why.Ocala has plenty of good cashflow opportunity and no shortage of supply, should see some significant growth in the next few years due to its high traffic location and increasing industry.

While the answer includes a myriad of factors, the answer primarily comes down to:Jobs, jobs, jobs – coupled with a surge in population to fill open positionsA severe housing shortage existed in 2020 and 2021Strong apartment market fundamentals (i.e., high rent growth and high occupancy rates)Low barriers to entry and easy/cheap moneyHuntsville’s status as one of the nation’s most well-educated STEM cities has been a prime attractor of major employers and their staffing needs, resulting in a doubling of the Huntsville Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) annual population growth rate over the past five years.The pandemic triggered a population migration across the country, helping to fuel Huntsville’s growth as it offers a great quality of life, high-paying jobs and easy access to abundant outdoor and cultural activities.These attributes helped secure Huntsville’s rating as the No. 1 “Place to Live in the Country” by U.S.

I can't even tell you how bad of a housing shortage we have here.
