Seems the economy is really doing great stuff with this and 40 year high inflation.

For example, we have a COVID pandemic that continues to disrupt economic activity (including the supply chain for home builders), rising mortgage interest rates, and inflation rising at the fastest pace since 1982.Will all of this likely decrease buyer demand in Austin compared to 2021?

Inflated prices have made it extremely difficult to cash flow.

The only headlines I ever hear are massive inflation and full employment. 

This mindset can be hard to change, but the reality is money sitting in the bank earning .5% or less is being eaten by inflation. 

The bigger problem is inflation and supply shortages have been a perfect storm for sky high prices.

I would not recommend on inflation increasing rents or luck to bail you out but the above would be nice to have and should allow you some of peace to be able to sleep at night.Happy investing 

With intense California migration and inflation our market has become pretty tough for deals that work especially because I intend to keep my money local.Looking for advise, ideas or experiences for what can or has been done in similar situations.

Hi,Housing prices have inflated over the last year and a half significantly.For example in a market where in mid 2020 a two-family was priced at 160K, it is now priced at 260K.My consistent question is does this price jump equate to a tangible jump in rental prices?

Example, you'd get a house with a fridge and stove but you'd have to buy inflatable matresses and wash your clothes at a laundromat.Those 4-5 other people are out of the STR business now.
