Kapfidze said the secondary vacant homes — many of them owned by foreigners — are keeping prices high by tightening the supply of housing.An oversupply of housing units is causing rents to fall in areas like Downtown Miami, and owners are selling their units for less than they bought them for.

More buyers with more money with no more supply typically leads to price increases.So I suspect the recent and pending IPOs did result in some previous increase to the RE price, I do not believe it could cause the full increase because the buyers did not yet exist (i.e. buyers who can purchase after they become millionaires/billionaires from the IPOs could not have purchased the same house prior as they will be able to post IPO having the increased wealth that resulted from the IPO).Time will show if there is any significant increase and how big the increase. 

Zoning laws in Chicago do not allow 2-4 units to be built as rentals easily in the north side neighborhoods which creates an interesting supply and demand shortage.

On the bad side, the influx of rental supply is direct competition.

Do they need 220 supply?

Hey @Mike Burr,My wife and I just moved to the Columbus area and during our search for a place to live we noticed there seems to be a high demand for rentals and a low supply.

Is it done independently by an appraiser - or can I supply them comps directly to support the rent I am requesting?

They have ample time to read everything.

The invoice say in description" Labor and supplies to replace a  valve in toilet, and remove broken shower door and install a curtain rod",  then it says Account code " Repair".

These changes will have devastating effects in a state where over half of the housing stock was constructed before 1959, accelerating the primary consequences of rent control policies: deferred maintenance and supply reduction.
