Reno has a supply problem.And most people haven’t noticed it yet.I was reviewing the latest Reno development pipeline numbers (80+ unit apartment buildings).Here’s what jumped out:In 2021–2022, Reno had roughly 12,000+ units either under construction or planned.Today?

Supply is still the bottleneck.Let’s break down what actually matters heading into spring 2026.PCE Inflation Runs Hotter Than ForecastDecember’s Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report — the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge — came in slightly above expectations.Headline inflation: +0.4% for the month, 2.9% annuallyCore inflation: +0.4% for the month, 3.0% annuallyStreaming services jumped nearly 20% in December, adding unusual pressure to the monthly number.What this means for mortgage rates:Inflation is still above the Fed’s 2% target, which keeps policymakers cautious on rate cuts.However — context matters.Higher inflation readings from early 2025 will soon roll off the annual comparison.

Managing parking at apartments can be tricky, especially for properties with 150+ units.Some common challenges I’ve seen:Residents accidentally or intentionally parking in the wrong spotsVisitor passes being misusedStaff spending a lot of time tracking violationsDisputes over towing or finesI’ve been working on a tool called ParkVault to make issuing and tracking violations easier.

For anyone investing in the Charlotte area, the supply conversation isn’t theoretical anymore — it’s measurable.Over the past 18–24 months, the region has delivered a substantial amount of multifamily inventory, with thousands more units still under construction.Here’s a rough breakdown by submarket (rounded estimates based on recent delivery and pipeline data):South End / Uptown / Lower South End• ~6,000–8,000 units delivered since 2023• ~4,000+ still under constructionThis is where concessions are the most aggressive. 4–8 weeks free is common in Class A.University / North Charlotte• ~3,000–4,000 units delivered• ~2,000–3,000 underwayHeavy competition at the $1,300–$1,800 price point.Huntersville / North Mecklenburg• ~1,500–2,500 new multifamily units• Continued build-to-rent expansionWe’re also seeing entire townhome phases release at once, which directly impacts investor-owned SFR pricing.Kannapolis / Concord• ~1,000+ units delivered• Additional mid-density and mixed-use projects in pipelineValue-add investors are competing against brand new product more often than before.Fort Mill / Indian Land (SC side)• ~2,000–3,000 units delivered• Several thousand still in progressSC lease-up velocity has slowed compared to 2021–2022 peaks.Union County (Indian Trail / Wesley Chapel / Monroe pockets)• Growing build-to-rent presence• Multiple SFR communities delivering in clustersAnd this doesn’t include scattered new construction townhomes that hit the MLS in waves.What This Looks Like in Practice (Managing 500+ Doors)Rent growth has flattened.We are not seeing 8–12% annual bumps anymore.

I’m also currently looking for a good plumber in the Florida Panhandle area if anyone has recommendations.The structure is already built and has water supply and a drain line stubbed, along with its own subpanel for electrical.

While the ADUs provide the volume, the renovation of the main house adds a premium layer, with a projected value of $870/rsf, maximizing every inch of the 7,243-square-foot lot.The Supply Shock No One is Talking AboutStandard economic theory suggests that when mortgage rates jump from 3% to nearly 7%, demand should evaporate and prices should tumble.

With a strong supply of duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes in Minneapolis and St.

Low vacancy, high tenant quality, and limited multifamily supply.

Hi @Benjamin Orsak, there are still good deals to be made even when you think the market is challenging. 

It feels like time and time again, the biggest challenge in the BRRRR strategy is finding a reliable, consistent General Contractor to do the rehab jobs.
