It’s too much trouble to manage too many individual stocks. I have gone through several cycles myself: too many individual stocks then start to consolidate to just a few indexes. Then over the years, I would gradually buy and own too many individual stocks again, and now I am in another round of consolidation.
Buy and hold works great for the last a few years. But as a person who had been through the dot com bubble and great recession, I tried to stay a bit more active in my investments. It didn’t always work out(sold NFLX at $190). Just do something to make myself feel better.
Back to RE.
95014, 43 SFHs for rent vs 9 SFHs for sale
Slightly more inventory than 94087, cut n paste from previous post:
94087, 34 for rent vs 6 for sale.
As a landlord, very annoyed with the high inventory for rental.
For the 0.14%, they rebalance the index based on market cap. I’m not sure how often they do that. There’s also a ton of stocks in it if you wanted to replicate it yourself. Maybe if you bought the top 5 stocks, then it’d be easier to manage yourself.
I think that’s basically yes. People don’t want to sell fearing home prices will continue to increase. Better to rent out and purchase in cheaper areas to live.
So if there is a peak and prices drop, will investors head for the exits? Or will they be happy with 10-20% less rent and hold on? Like in 2002, after the DotBomb
