The ones with capital will buy them, and you will be renting.
- swexbe 4y agoSeems like a pretty risky investment. Especially as fewer and fewer people will have anything to gain from the NIMBY policies artificially increasing prices.
- humanrebar 4y agoThe market (and NIMBY regs) can stay irrational longer than you can stay housed.
- selcuka 4y agoHistorically speaking, investing in property/land has never turned out risky. Initial cost has little significance in total profit calculation as long as you can seek rent indefinitely.
- refurb 4y agoClearly not since housing prices are falling due to affordability. And if you look at the capital buying up houses, it's a tiny fraction of all available housing out there. The correct answer is - just like when housing prices went up with low interest rates, they'll go down with high interest rates.
