I'm in the market to purchase a short-term rental in Saint George Utah but the market there (perhaps like many places) feels very overpriced. 

How is private money lending currently influencing the real estate market?

Zillow.com is 80% of the market, you can list with byowner.com, Their MLS package will get your listing syndicated to all the other sites, redfin, trulia, apartments.com, homes.com, realtor.com. 

Key Points from the Article:Our very own @DavidMeyer, our housing market expert, and host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Show believes home flipping and BRRRR are due for a comeback.Reasons for optimism:1.

Do the current rents that landlord is charging align with the market rent rates in that are in that area?

My name is Tomer, and I'm a real estate investor who is relatively new to the Pittsburgh market.

Side note - he'd be better off if his tenants were scared off since they are paying far below market rent!

If I were you I would check the Days on market, and check the Trend for pricing Month over Month for sales and listings in the area. 

IMHO it's a mistake to plan on a very specific market and tenant profile.

I've lived here my whole life and know the area and market very well.
