The Bay Area has a true housing shortage and a high demand for homes.  

The full remodel is tough though because labor shortage in KC and contractors giving FU prices because they're so busy lol

It can produce cash flow as the price / sq ft and rents are relatively low compared to other similar markets, and the appreciation comes from:- 30,000 new jobs coming to Columbus in 2022- 4,000 new homes built in Columbus in 2022 (there is already a shortage...)- price/sq ft is still relatively much cheaper than other comparable cities- lowest vacancy rate in Columbus history- one of the panel members who spoke at a housing development I went to named Bob Schottenstein (developer who has built over 150,000 homes) stated Intel will do to Columbus what Disney did to Orlando 

Due to Las Vegas ongoing population growth, increasing job quality and quantity and the shortage of land, property prices and rents will likely continue to increase.SummaryIf you are looking for low cost, high return (10+%) properties and do not care as much about appreciation or long term return, Las Vegas is probably not your best choice.

I do live in a military town so there are quite a few rentals out here. however no shortage of occupancy.

Certainly no shortage of housing options to choose from and an interesting oil based economy there.

This area requires a relatively small investment to acquire, newer homes available, no shortage of inventory, tons of laborers, and someone else to oversee.

The college is a state school and has gone under some expansion and renovations. some of the expansion was for student housing but i had found a report that was done before the work was to begin, from the college, and in that report it stated that even with the expanded student housing there will still be a big shortage of housing and that they will rely on student rentals outside the campus. 2 years after the housing has been built, there is a slight decline in students ( and i think a lot didn't like the new housing) the college turned around and now enforced that all freshman and sophomores must live in the student housing . this takes away from the amount that normally rents houses. so @Jason V.its a good idea to keep on top of changes at the college, and i even keep track of what they charge to live there to make sure i do not over price my housing, while watching other rentals in the area for pricing too.

I sure hope you're thirsty because there is no shortage of REI juice on this site.

This is good news for all home buyers, not just real estate investors, due to shortages of inventory in some markets in past months.
