Take for comparison Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in Tennessee, where there is also some seasonality but there are also many more place to stay, so prices are more affordable for us tourists.So, for example, looking at the town of West Yellowstone, MT or even the hamlet of Babb, MT, there's no shortage of space there.

In your area were your bidding on 5k houses its really like being in the USED car business.. just look at these as objects if you can make a few bucks move on.. its not like there is any shortage of low end real estate up in your area and all through the rust belt.

in this market with the absolute shortage of units.. and a condo.I would think this would be simple to self manage .. they just mail you a check.if it goes wonky then maybe get a manager.lots of good one's though here in PDX. 

There is no shortage of money out there.

And on top of that, the housing shortage still exists.

Due to the fact that there is a shortage of affordable housing in Denver, it seems a bit silly. 

It has had notable population growth for the last few years, and has a housing shortage that would suggest continued appreciation and low vacancy!

Also there seems to be a shortage of fourplex/duplex’s in my area.

With The Ohio State University graduating 6000+ students a year, the tax incentives that are bringing and keeping a lot of big business in Columbus, there's no shortage of need for multifamily housing.  

Her son who doesn't live in the area told me it would be very difficult to move her, there is a rental shortage in the area and she can't afford market rent.
