Now they have vaccine, they don't buy the bond like before and they stopped financing the investment rental so at very least the FTHB will not compete with investor like us.They're basically avoiding three crises simultaneously.

It would leave the big players in the rental industry holding most of the rentals, and they will price according to the much higher risk. 

(i.e. too many other buyers competing for it). 

Lots of property owners are using quartz for countertops now to compete with new condos but I would stick to laminate counter tops in your area.

These buyers are competing against the investor and sometimes the only way to compete against cash offers is to go higher and hope you win.  

Put yourself in a position where you can compete, right now you’re in a tough spot to compete in Boise.

lol Feeling great to hear such a compliment from a player like you!!!

You are competing with other condos, townhomes and even hotels at that point.I also don't necessarily think that travelers are looking to connect with hosts if they are traveling here or the parks, most owners of these live out of the area and will never meet the guests and there is no expectation of that.

Houses we were competing for last year we can't even compete for now. 

Purchase price: $265,000 Cash invested: $15,000 VA loan house lived in for 2 years then reused the Va loan, bought in an expanding neighborhood below the appraised value and as the neighborhood competed, the property value rose 15%.
