I'm wondering if investors/agents are seeing this in other markets as rates come down.

During our monthly market study, Marion Oaks (Ocala) consistently stands out as the area with the highest demand for new construction housing.Below are some of the markets we analyze, along with their average months of housing supply: - Palm Bay: 3.4 months - North Port: 4 months - Port Charlotte: 5.4 months - Marion Oaks: 2.2 months - Silver Springs: 2.8 monthsStudy Criteria: Single-Family Homes Built in 2022 or later, 1400-2400 sqft.

I'd recommend doing some research into the markets.

I have an off-market deal that seems fairly promising to be mine—wanted to reach out and get opinions on the rental market there.

@Hares Najand in a lot of markets including mine it is customary for the landlord to pay the water and sewer bills.

The problem here is it takes 6-8 weeks to close, and in the LA competitive market, that is too long to be competitive with other bids.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

Any advice for finding / approaching owners for off market deals?
