This property is cheaper to buy than to build. 2! The housing shortage.

This location is experiencing rapid growth. Multifamily construction permits shot up to a 30-year high in December 2021. By April 2023, that figure plunged 75%. 4! There’s a tunicate on supply of single-family homes.

Multifamily housing construction is being driven by strong demand for rental apartments due to high borrowing costs. 6! New rentals large enough for families are rare.
