In today’s housing market, where inventory remains tight and competition is fierce, speed and decisiveness have become critical factors in securing a home.A Market Defined by Scarcity and CompetitionThe U.S. housing market is still struggling with the effects of years of underbuilding following the 2008 financial crisis.

Instead of jumping into an expensive Long Island market with negative cash flow, consider investing in a Texas market like San Antonio, Houston, or DFW suburbs—these areas offer strong rental demand, lower property taxes than NY, and better cash flow potential.

Quote from @Nicole Laba: I work with investors in Chicago who are actively buying off-market properties, and Ive noticed that everyone has a different approach when it comes to sourcing deals.

I was just on their website looking at the permit process:CityofSac-STR PermitLooks like 90 days max until you get a conditional use permit but still reading as it seems a little unclear:A short-term vacation rental may operate from a location that is not the operator's primary residence for a total of 90 days in a calendar year.

Whoever gives me the most business and has an excellent close record will first be presented with off-market opportunities. 

You have an exciting opportunity at your fingertips, some cash purchases could make sense in higher appreciation markets if you were looking for other options or to diversify.

Mastering off-market acquisitions, sharpening your sales skills, and structuring deals for maximum profit.
