Currently, I’m actively expanding my portfolio in Austin, Tempa, Dallas, Houston, where I’ve seen significant growth and demand for multifamily housing.

Luxury rentals, purchases and short term accommodations will be in high demand from Santa Barbara to San Diego and a drastic uptick in inventory for sale can be anticipated in the areas most effected by the fires. 

Cheap homes for an area are cheap for a reason - low to no demand from local investors or owners. 

No trigger will materially change demand: What's notable about the last two and a half years is that rents have largely stayed flat.

Alec,The free services go a long way to giving you a pretty good idea for what a property’s demand will be.

If the the demand is there, the homes are likely to still appreciate over time. 

From what I read in Bloomberg, delays in high-demand areas have gone up significantly in the past year.

Be conservative because demand can go up or down at any time as can the laws -- a good general rule of thumb for STR is to make sure it still makes sense as an LTR.

This influx of workers will naturally drive demand for housing, retail, and other services in the surrounding areas, especially in smaller towns and cities that haven't seen major growth in decades.

Marcus & Millichap bullishly forecasts continued increase in rents due to stronger demand and higher incomes.
