It seems they are taking advantage of markets where there is a shortage of bread and butter rentals, or in markets where the location is a major driver of prices like major metros and cities.Despite its obvious depature from the real world, I find myself watching the show anyway.

You know people say that there is a shortage of cash buyers.

I have done it before, but only to very well qualified candidates (other than the cash shortage).

I got nothing there, and I think it is a good state. .no state filing and landlord friendly.Hong Kong is a nice place, it wants to be hip but there are regular kale shortages.

Payments are 1225 PITI Due to escrow shortage a little high. 6.5 % fixed interest rate.

Try and track down some of the major macro trends before deciding to dig deeper: are there plenty of jobs, a shortage of housing, improving economic prospects, and sufficient infrastructure (traffic not bad, plenty of amenities..)?

Living in the NYC area, there is never a shortage of renters.

Just as a heads up, there is no shortage of commercial buyers for good properties and most commercial transacations are bought and sold "off-market" If you successfully find a solid commercial property, you should have no problem finding buyers.

I believe there is a shortage of rental apartments in Boston right now, so you shouldn't have trouble finding tenants especially for brand new construction, assuming the rents are within reason.     

They also get employees that drive from all surrounding counties.Currently, there is a real shortage of properties to purchase at prices i find reasonable for investment.
