Comal Hays REIA: Americans Say RE is Best Long Term Investment

[Linda Hastings]

Comal Hays REIA meets this Saturday! Look for our group at Panera Bread outside, under the covered patio. There's usually plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the great spring weather, a cup of coffee and engaging conversation with other investors.

According to the Gallup Polling Group, real estate is viewed as the number one investment for growing wealth, for the 8th year in a row. Here's the breakdown (1) Real Estate - 41% (2) Stocks / Mutual Funds - 26% (3) Gold - 18% (4) Savings Accounts / CDs - 9% (5) Bonds - 3% > https://news.gallup.com/poll/349607/americans-expect-home-prices-rise-divided-buying.aspx

With Americans now aware of the nation's metros facing a housing shortage, what role does the mom & pop investor play in solving the problem? For some, it's multi-family. Others invest in mobile home parks, house flips, duplexes or ground-up construction. Creative housing solutions are the newest players on the block, including house shares, short-term rentals, RVs and tiny homes. Come join this month's discussion and share your investment thesis and why you believe it will grow with the changing lifestyle & economic trends of the present decade.

Whether you're a seasoned pro, looking to do your first deal, or a total newbie to the real estate investment game, we hope to see you this Saturday at our June meeting! We ask those who attend to purchase a food and/or beverage item from Panera, to support their business.

We look forward to resuming our presentation schedule late summer / early fall. The new San Marcos Public Library is now open to the public. A number of meeting rooms will be available, hopefully by August. Look for the "new venue" post in the Comal Hays REIA Facebook Group, next month. We've been enjoying the new facilities and are working to re-establish the venue for our meetup.
