Apple, Google, Xerox, Fuji film, and Meta are all coming into the area. 5k people a month move to the area which has created a housing shortage, rent spikes, major appreciation (not just due to inflation) and you can still find single family homes for sale on the MLS in good condition for ~250k+ Tenant-landlord laws are landlord-friendly and taxes are low.

Yeah, there is a ton of new construction going up however there is also a major labor shortage causing labor costs to rise as well.

In some states I think things will probably start to soften, but with all of the population growth and housing shortage in Salt Lake metro, the demand will continue to grow. 

You said it is surrounded by similar properties, which means there is no shortage.

I also think that there is a shortage of multifamily new construction and know of a guy who's crushing it building and selling 4plexes.  

Most importantly the property values are doable and there are never a shortage of qualified applicants who make a good buck and are just looking for a place to hang a hat.Lastly you can always sell it because someone is always buying around there.

There is no shortage of wholesalers in San Antonio. 

There is a real shortage of rentals in Colorado Springs.I paid cash from overseas funds (I am a permanent resident) and am now wanting to cash-out refi to buy additional long term rental investments and BRRRR.The challenge seems to be around how to declare overseas income and proof of income. 

There is no shortage of experienced, as-is cash buyers who can close quickly in almost every market in California.Pocket listings are mostly for the benefit of the agent and buyer.
