Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough (yet) to figure out how to make investing in land more profitable than housing....especially seeing that we are in the midst of a housing shortage that will continue to get worse.

Can you get a loan for the shortage if you don't have the cash?

There can be a shortage of 3 bed rental apartments while an oversupply of 2 bedroom apartments.

I am looking to start investing in the Temple University area b/c there is a major shortage of student housing.

Right now there is a huge shortage on lenders that allow for over 10 properties.

There is a severe shortage of apartments because so many were converted to condos during the housing boom.

There is a shortage of dormatory space at the college, and this is across the street.

She said there is was a housing shortage due to university.

It’s sad but true, you really need to be a skeptic with every dollar that you spend because it seems that there is no shortage of people who try to sell you things that you don’t need, or simply skim your money out of a deal (like an insurance agent).

I dont recommend doing a CMA that the computer spits out because of too few datapoints.The rest of your plan sounds good and I dont think there is a shortage of houses in your area to keep the plan going.BTW some other options are Trading your property for someone who is having trouble managine small apartments, Exchanging property, O.F. with large down, getting rental commitments but not signed and appeal to commercial buyer, or Lease Option.
