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.

Welcome to BP @Renata McCulloch, you'll find no shortage of assistance here.

If HOA, the property may be in a super-priority lien jurisdiction where only a portion of the HOA lien has priority and the foreclosure of that lien does not extinguish any mortgages.A mortgage originated in 2006 would likely not mature until 2036... and if payments (principal, interest, taxes, insurance) had not been made for some time (especially on a neg-am loan), the current balance after escrow shortages and forced place insurance coverage could easily have mushroomed to $250k.Only the mortgagor (and the property itself) is responsible for satisfying the original mortgage debt... until a successor in interest acquires property subject to that mortgage, in which case it's still not the personal debt of the purchaser but simply attached to the property.Need more info here to be helpful.

We cannot sprawl so there is a shortage of inventory and with as slow as metro works and the nonsensical properties they bring into the Urban growth boundry nothing is going to change supply and demand in many years.

I don't know the size of your market or whether there is already a rental housing shortage, or a surplus.

You might offer to sign a promissory note for some portion of the shortage.

As a result of his involvement we anticipate a continued shortage of inventory.
