the properties im looking at are on hawaii, which is our end goal, but its so inflated right now. hoping more inventory comes on the market within the year to cool it a bit.i feel like ill never see worthwhile properties come up on the MLS. such is a sellers market i suppose.id like to do stuff around here (reno tahoe) but its at such a level that i cant get into condos. trailers are $200K here 

We have very few properties locally to compare it with since inventory is so low right now and B.

Yes you can still find a property the traditional way by looking on the MLS but inventory is low right now and competition is rougher than ever so your best bet would be to build a network that can provide you with a consistent flow of potential investments to look at weekly.

Inventory is tight and anything sent me on or off market has higher price points, needed heavy rehab work. 

The low inventory and willingness to over pay is creating bidding wars unlike anything we've seen before.

There are lots of older homes there to rehab, but also lots of inventory for rentals it seems.  

I don't know anything about your individual market but housing inventory is at an all time low nationwide right now.

Probably 1 week of inventory it seems.

@Ernest Wade Hi Ernest, due to low inventory and sky rocketing prices here in Denver, some investors have looked at new builds as a way to enter the market.

@Shirley Wen I live in Sneads Ferry and prices are continually rising on single-family homes because of low inventory and high demand.
