Same concept with other investments. You can still make money buying high and

selling higher. Real estate is even better due to the limited supply.

Seeing posts about people being underwater on their homes already after buying a year ago, but if their monthly payments

Nothing really matters until you try and sell.

I'm more concerned about the car industry. That is the real cliff.

You’re right. If they are underwater after a decade, that’s a concern.

1/28/23 2:09pm

The reason it’s concerning for them is they can’t go get the HELOC.

Keep in mind RE peaks in the summer months and the market cools down after

In a regular market condition. Prices should go up some this summer?

JohnnyC

1/28/23 2:26pm

Im not a RE expert. But movement is always higher in the spring/summer.

1/28/23 2:47pm

This is correct. If prices fall in the spring it will continue into the fall.

Regular yes but with rates high they won't go up this summer

Gotta make those payments. At least in a rental you can walk away and live with

That shouldn't be a problem with current rental rates in most places. If you

I bought three rentals in October-December.

There are a ton of apartment/condo/townhome units that are going to flood the

Location is key.

I’ve got a rental house just a 5 min walk to BYU so hopefully that should

Maybe but maybe not.

I can not believe how many units I see in construction both here in PHX and

kotacoug

1/28/23 4:51pm

1.7 million apartment units under construction nationwide.

rad dawg

1/28/23 4:57pm

At least in our area, the new apartments and townhomes are crazy high rent.

1/28/23 5:00pm

I expect that will remain the case for a little while.

rad dawg

1/28/23 5:18pm

Yeah, nothing is for sure.

1/28/23 4:56pm

I don’t think condos/apartments are as close of a substitute as some people assume. Families want SFHs. Townhomes are

Mike Honcho

1/28/23 5:00pm

Condos/townhomes are the new SFH. Going forward I think this will be the norm

kotacoug

1/28/23 5:11pm

More common is multigenerational SFH. Two of ours have this.

1/28/23 5:14pm

Maybe, I doubt it, but even if so that probably means SFHs still aren’t impacted by condo rental prices

Mike Honcho

1/28/23 5:15pm

That’s what I hope.

This all depends on the SFH. It has to have the amenities. I've seen many young

Its a big IF and only one factor of the equation. My anecdotal experience so far

Inflation should overcome downward pressure on real estate in the next 10 years.

johnnybyu

1/28/23 4:46pm

Yup. Inflation could be the one thing that throws everything off.

rad dawg

1/28/23 6:19pm

It only matters if they need to move

Agreed. Real estate is forging in the long run. I had some rentals that went
