Real Estate in Secular Uptrend

Ooo, the discipline. Respect.

We’re an aging society. Birth rates are down, even as young adults buy more homes. And immigration, even the legal kind, is a hard sell. The result is meager population growth, if at all.

So, there will be fewer people to replace the dying Baby Boomers, cutting long-term demand for housing.

Houses demand is proportional to number of families not population growth.
Aging? Longer lifespan :slight_smile:
Birth rates are down? Sure? Lesser but richer families :slight_smile:
Fewer people to replace the dying baby boomers? Millennials population is bigger than the baby boomer population.

Some zip codes, rent :rocket:

One renewal, offer existing tenants 16% increase in rent, if don’t want to renew then put on the market for 33% increase :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth: which is 5% lower than current market rent. So I am being kind :stuck_out_tongue:

Too kind. So generous.

I am eating 2/3 :face_with_thermometer: of the property tax increase. Cashflow drops significantly.

Finger is ridiculing Greystar after selling to him. Good etiquette, old man. Anyhoo not interested in apartments.

Talking about rental surge in Singapore, renewals are done at 60% to 300% higher. Same as here, larger square footage are easier to rent and enjoy larger percentage gain.

Anecdotally we see house prices and rentals sky :rocket: everywhere. Hope those bloggers eg @manch and @jil didn’t sell their RE last year to buy nose bleeding high growth stocks. Asset diversification is a must.

I still have my REs safe & fully paid off. I am maintaining no further RE. Presently, I simplified and invest in index ETFs QQQ/TQQQ combinations all in one bucket, no other stocks, no other assets.

As you know, my algo that prompted me well ahead, sold all kept under money market cash for a longer time since Dec 2021. At times, I made small trades (QQQ/TQQQ) accumulated 2.80% YTD my considerable big account (way smaller than hanera and wqj !).

Nowadays, I do not blog/read even reddit as I see most of them novice, nothing to learn.
I do not plan to reply any questions or come back again. Good Luck to you all.
