Your best exits would probably be to sell each side to owner-occupants given the housing shortage the morons at the city are creating.

We live in Silicon Valley, so there's no shortage of wealthy people...but the ones we know don't "get" real estate...the search continues though!

There are a huge shortage of section 8 apartments in this area so I thought keeping them occupied would be easy without any long vacancies.Bank financing is not available to me unless they only look at the building income to qualify.

There's certainly no shortage of attorneys in San Diego and you should be able to find an experienced real estate attorney, but they are pricey.Feel free to contact me if you'd like some referrals to SoCal based carriers, agents and attorneys.Best regards,Rod  

Vacancy is currently 0; unit is near a university, and the university has signed 2-year leases for 100% of the units (severe housing shortage in area).

For buy and hold there is no shortage of renters from both Ft Campbell and Austin Peay University.

There is a major shortage of rentals right now so if you are a landlord you are in a sweet spot.

However - the Charlotte housing shortage plus rent increases are serving to improve the tenants in these neighborhoods.You will find many SFH & MF properties in Charlotte offered for high prices - but many investors are also fixing these properties and placing market rent tenants, and then offering these properties for 9-10% CAP rates.  

From what I've studied this can be done by purchasing in an area that has all of some combination of population growth, job and wage growth, limited land to build, housing shortages, neighborhoods on the rise etc.

Single family homes are being bought quickly by first time home buyers and often sold over market value because there is a shortage of supply.
