Outside of 2020, there has been a healthy amount of new development including larger quality MFR as well as smaller MFR’s being converted into quality housing which maybe played a factor in this too.

We see a decent trickle of off-market units still and the MLS is pretty healthy overall, but many of the sellers of 90, 120, 150+ day-old listings are still holding out, rejecting reasonable offers, thinking they can get someone to pay their absurd number given to them by a residential agent that agreed to list it for 5% and overshot the value by 20%+.Welcome to 2020

Or...I must be really old-fashioned about marriage, making babies and taking care to bring my family up in a happy and healthy home.

Get to know the area and find the sweet spot where rents are the highest per dollar spent on the property and gives you a healthy cash flow. 15% or higher. 

We are a economically healthy, mid-sized cities, with high percentage of Fortune 500 companies. 

They have the clout and the lobbying power to sway congress just as monsanto buys off politicians to get their anti gmo labeling laws passed or big pharma suppresses any non drug unpatentable natural/organic preventon/cures as there's no profit in health.

Early 30s with a healthy compensation, with great credit score and savings, well done.

. =)We walked away from our jobs in Portland when I was 35 to chase our dreams and find happiness, we have now travelled full time for a decade (while still young/healthy enough to enjoy it fully together), we live full time on a catamaran in the Caribbean that we own free and clear, just bought an oceanfront condo on our favorite island just in case we decide we want to grow old here later (one day when we're done sailing/exploring), still have a growing portfolio back home that pays for our perfect lifestyle and have also started a few passion projects turned businesses that are doing pretty darn well (considering our lack of interest in spending much time on them)... oh and yes, we do pay all our taxes and and fully insured/covered for health care.Just because we chose (and continue to choose) to live a free and nomadic lifestyle doesn't mean we dropped out of society to "smoke it up at the end of a long dirt road" - and just because we have decided that it's important to us to live and experience each day fully while we're young doesn't mean we don't have a plan for the future. 

If you owned one bedroom low income units last year you were looking at a different picture.The fact that you cashflow only $200 a month tells me that you are not investing in cheap units; given the national housing shortage which will take a very long time to resolve at the current construction pace, you should be gaining equity on a pretty healthy pace.We have not seen rents respond to the 4.2% inflation yet, but I expect that to happen in 2022 and with that you should see also your cash flow go up.

Lol I can appreciate a healthy rivalry
