Anyone have any insight if now is a good time to buy, if the market is saturated with short term rentals, and long term appreciation?

Of course every market is different and some markets may be more saturated than others.Another thing to consider is that like Dev mentioned, a lot of people talk about something but very few actually do it as a system. ie a lot of people try something for a short while, don't get immediate results, and give up.A lot of the leads have to be cultivated for a while and you don't get instant gratification.

The returns are higher, the growth potential of the market is higher, less saturation, it hasn't been eaten up by funds and private investors like Memphis has, etc.

We are all feeling Airbnb is getting a bit saturated here.  

I have a a pretty broad question about rental saturation in varying neighborhoods.

Account Closed, apparently it's saturated with mildew

Some areas are more saturated than others, so without cash or a crew working for you (competitive edge) you may not be able to get houses there.

I would have to agree with @Tim Kunz on this one - wholesaling in this area has become overly saturated with competition.

I would stay away from UT Austin just because of price, and the competition is incredibly saturated. 

My deals are pretty fat on the profit side so I dont mind 12% which I have paid to lendinghome for a project last year...but I always strive to find better and better opportunities to increase margins..
