The rental market is strong because of a housing shortage and the neighborhood has seen a boom of ADU's since the city allowed any SFR zoned property to have them.

It’s a very rewarding process but there have been no shortage of hiccups along the way.  

My wife and I do just a couple of deals a year, so we wouldn't have a pulse on day to day affects.Dallas is currently seeing gas shortages, many gas stations are out of fuel and there are lines at the rest.I talked to my mortgage broker today and she told me that the lenders have put holds on all of the closings and are requiring appraisers reappraise all of the properties before they can close.We have a ton of shelters here in Dallas that have been opened up. 

I cant speak for or against Fayetteville, but you want to be in an area with a shortage of affordable housing.

Right now I am looking at a fund shortage of $15,000.

There's no shortage of shady agents.

There is no shortage of great deals so the time and effort should be WELL worth the return.

No shortage of wholesalers/flippers/investors trying to get in there.

I can't see there being an actual rental shortage, at least in my area.

I am also looking to acquire my first deal.My first question:Are markets that suffer from an inventory shortage typically much harder to find deals for buy and hold investing?
