Hi folks - With the housing supply shortage across the nation these days, I’m struggling to find any deals in the Dallas area (where I invest).

It seems the lack of supply and lack of banks being able to foreclose has driven the demand and subsequently pricing higher and higher. 

Lack of supply = lack of DEALS.

So we are left with the people who already own, that supply chain has been tight for the last 2-3 years because of people's concerns with awaiting the next recession.

-Furnace/AC-Hot water heater-Appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer/dryer if supplying those.) 

It was the last inexpensive West Coast city, sandwiched between two of the most expensive metros in the country (Seattle and San Francisco), and has geographic constraints that will likely lead to supply outstripping demand both for sales and rentals.

Gotta' be something in the water supply in both places! 

@ Matthew HollandContinue to "be a shopper not a buyer."

Supply chains are messed up do to tariffs, mostly but other things too.But to answer your question, if your loan to values are good, a lender shouldn't have any trouble tacking on an extra principle amount to your principle amount.

I would say that is a good reason to buy, the reason housing in so expensive is a supply side issue that is only getting worse so you should see a lot of appreciation which is even more valuable then rental income.
