How do you get supplies (disinfectant wipes, lysol spray) if all big box stores is already out of supply?

The regulations in these markets are very very favorable for STR investors, since it's been the norm for tourists to rent privately owned single family homes and condos on an overnight basis for decades.

If not, file a complaint with the state boards (usually under Department of Business and Professional Regulation) and consult with an attorney as well. 

The underwriters couldn't keep up, so supply/demand... the rate goes up.Like all things investment, you can try to time the market - and roll the dice. 

I still want to buy and still look for deals, like many others, and so there is a lot more demand than supply. 

The fact is there is a balancing act of factors prices, interest rates, rents, supply, economic, etc.

I had the hot water heater gas regulator go out on me ($100 item off Amazon), the Furnace died ($846), and there was a gas leak on the side yard (city's responsibility luckily).

I can't think of a thesis that passes the nationwide test due to supply and demand.

Also, homes here are listed in a fairly organized way - only a few per neighborhood so there's always supply but not too much, and everyone just rotates and bids on everything.
