There's just not a lot out there, we're approaching historic inventory lows. 

We've been squirrelling away our job earnings for a long time and spent the year trying to buy a primary residence but the low inventory, high cost and bidding wars left us without.

So, there are really a total of 4 homes for sale in all of Pflugerville.So EXTREAMLY low inventory to say the least.

Inventory and low interest rates are still a major factor in our market. 

Because it's expensive and you should check with an accountant - any property you buy for yourself could be considered "inventory" and then any profits you get could be taxed as ordinary income. 

@Nathan OldsMore inventory and property management options.

You might have some difficulty finding cash flowing inventory in those areas from an investment property perspective but a house hack would be a good strategy!

Realistically, it’s older inventory so maintenance and capex will be on the higher end.

This is what is is puzzling me because it will deplete cash inventory faster...

With the low housing inventory and massive growth to Ada County and Canyon County, how is the rental inventory?
