And so the cycle continues, and the standard of living in capitalist societies steadily improves... at least in markets where new construction is allowed.

The news cycle notes that the limited availability of affordable homes is primarily due to a significant gap between the demand for housing and the supply. 

Consolidation needs to cycle, with all infrastructure maturing to fully meet new size and facilitate continued growth.

You’ve developed a moderately fast wealth accumulation strategy that’s relatively low risk, enabling you to ride out down cycles, negative cash flows, unexpected necessary expenditures, etc.  

Real estate is a constant cycle of losing battles to win the war.

Right now you have a market where existing landlords have all these properties at cheap prices where they can afford to charge less for rent than new buyers and many don't want to shock their tenants by jumping rents by $400+ in one rental cycle... so we are gradually easing those tenants upwards each year.  

You're then stuck in a cycle of offering concessions every year to fill your building because you were too ambitious during underwriting. 

Columbus has definitely gotten competitive, and you're right to be cautious about properties that are cycling back to market quickly.
