    Correct, it means that they think capitalization is going to be at a premium. And that means rates are probably dropping. normally I would say it’s a gamble, but with these guys I think they probably are spot on It’s more of a positive sign for people with money who can work the market

    AZ Brings Back 160 Year Old Abortion Ban

    Why lie? When you know that is not what I posted. Stop lying dude..... SMH
  3. Yeah, Portland said they could not find any data to prove legalization of drugs would make the situations worse.....but there were also people with simple common sense who knew it would..... If you insist on abandoning common sense and hiding behind cowardly notions like "the data doesnt show that"....YOU should have to live in the midst of the focking dumbarse sh!t morons like you create....

    AZ Brings Back 160 Year Old Abortion Ban

    Another example of pulling up some archaic law and misusing it.... I see that this time its impacting the favored ideology of Democrats....so they suddenly care. Here were are, in one of those places where your malleable morality allow us to stand side--side, I agree that this move is bullsh!t

    Who here still supports Jan 6 attack?

    I think your bias allows you to justify bad things done by people you prefer. I think you are the kind of coward this nation could do without.

    Almost....what it means is that they are forecasting rates will likely be dropping, they think the Fed is going to drop the rates, and I trust their judgement on this You are odd.... @Alias Detective This is what I am talking about, I have to post extra because people are like this.... objectively stupid.....

    It was a non-specific question, and I tried to answer as broadly as possible.... too often people will misinterpret what is written and turn it into something else....so I was trying to get a little ahead of that perhaps. Big meaner.....

    Usually when the consumer arena is struggling the demand for rentals will increase as people delay buying homes due to economic uncertainty or difficulty in securing mortgages. It can lead to a steady stream of tenants for luxury rental properties. Luxury rentals usually bring higher rental rates compared to standard rental properties. Even when things go poorly, affluent individuals tend to still pursue upscale housing options, enabling higher rental income. Luxury properties in prime locations tend to enjoy long-term appreciation and hold their value better even during market downturns. BUT Even though demand for rentals may increase during a downturn, the big risk is always vacancies..... . Affluent tenants have more flexibility and options, sometimes leading to longer periods of vacancy. These kinds of properties usually require higher maintenance costs compared to standard rental properties. You may end up throwing some serious cash just maintaining the property to keep it attracive to the target market....and this sh!t can really eat into profits..... Then you will have the issues with terms.....sure you can declare the value of your property to be what ever you want, but in the end the bank has to agree to it.....and this is where financing can get dicey.....you can start the process with your valuation intact, and then get to the end and the valuation has changed....and not in your favor.....this luxury market is highly unpredictable.... and dont forget the taxes too.....usually the taxes are less than they should be against market value, unless the market dips of course... If you are not dealing in high-end properties there is less fluxuation, but then too less risk.....so less profit potential.....

    This economy is so bad

    Good point.....I wonder what level of influence that might also have.

    Check out figure 3 I proper research project would be needed to get deeper into it. For me its potentially a validation for de Beauvoir.

    There is an interesting aside. Women are lagging in a return to the work force. And the natural question is....why? I think I know the answer, and I think it traces back to the 1975 feminist debate between Simone de Beauvoir and Betty Friedan. Friedan essentially posited that women should be granted the choice to work or stay at home or whatever they want..... de Beauvoir opposed that stance, and asserted that given the choice women would likely choose to remain in the home....and she did not want them to do that....so she insisted that they be compelled into the workplace.... Well......during the pandemic....people were forced to stay home.....and women are choosing to stay there..... pretty fascinating....

    Trumpers got The Rock

    My second paragraph is spot on. And if you follow global politics.....more is coming. I have never seen foreign policy so poorly handled, but to be fair one can enjoy profit from the mistakes. Also, inflation is not "coming down", it is simply not rising at the fevered pace any longer. So long as there are no more dumb money infusions....please Mr Biden....no more stupid from you..... then it can be controlled, but the damage is done...and not easily unwound.

    Agree. What Blackstone did here was in the consumer rental arena.... they are signaling they think there is going to be some capitalization opportunities.... I trust these guys, they think they see something....worth watching...

    Heard on the Street: Blackstone Bets on Wealthy Renters This is a big deal. If Blackstone is making this bet then they think interest rates will be dropping...... it also signals the potential for a bubble. These people are not stupid, if they are doing this then there is something afoot in the industry......just a heads up for you RE geeks....money can be made.....
