Atlanta is absolutely on fire, supply is at record lows and seems to get lower every month (last I checked it was just over 1 month).

For example, gather the supplies they’d need to bake or create a dish and gift them along with instructions.

I have no idea if the cause of the imbalance lies on the supply or demand side of the equation, but one thing is clear, the demand for net zero isn't there. 

Anchorage Sewer and Wastewater offers flat rates on 1, 2 and 3 unit buildings ($186/mo for duplex and $280ish for a triplex) but on the 4 plex and up it's a metered water supply that gets billed on a per gallon basis.

The investment thesis into multifamily is as strong as it ever was, homeownership is increasingly unaffordable, construction delays due to the pandemic will further add to supply constraints - increasing absorption rates, occupancy, and rent growth. 

Your personal income statement may be lacking right now but if you have a parent that is willing to supply down payment funds and cosign a loan you have more than enough.

It has never cost more to buy oriented strand board, known as OSB and used for walls, Southern yellow pine, which is favored for fences and decks, or ponderosa pine, which is popular in cabinetry and interior trim.Many engineered wood products used in new construction, such as I-joists, are in short supply, and mills are backlogged with orders well into March, the pricing service said.

I also did LED lighting, and looked for efficient appliances, installed a nest thermostat and water sense fixtures, one of the bigger things I did to start was remove and update some of the lead piping in the home and install a whole house water filtration system since the supply lines from the city are still lead.

I am adding one factor that wasn't hit on: cap rates are effected by supply/demand dynamics and capital markets.  

Low housing supply in our local area was a big factor.
