Population Growth - NOT the Only Important Factor?

[Cary F.]

This is an interesting article which takes a look at the statistical correlations behind property valuations. The assumption seems to be that high population growth areas are the places that make the most sense for multifamily investments for valuations and rent purposes alike. 

We can consider the problem from a rent perspective as well. It's true that the supply and demand of units generates an equilibrium rent price. But if there is an ever-increasing supply of rental units available in a city with high population growth, than existing properties will undoubtedly experience pressure on rental rates. 

Let me know what you think!
