Macro Tailwinds and Headwinds for Real Estate

[Andrew Curro]

What do you see as the major macro tailwinds and headwinds for purchasing residential small MF real estate under the current market conditions?

I’m under the impression that a major pro to buying today is being able to take out a 30 yr. fixed rate mortgage at such a low interest rate.

I’m also aware that the housing market is not “cheap” if you look at a historical real estate housing price chart that is inflation adjusted.

Why buy today???

This post was inspired by a response I received about how difficult it is to find properties that meet the 1-2% rule, and how although this may be the case, the deal is in the low interest rates today vs. low prices in the past.
