Hi Kazumi, welcome to the forums!

The effects of a particular president (or even governing party) would likely be small on the major economic forces that drive real estate. Presidents actually have little effect over the larger economy (positively or negatively) that the preside over.n’t win a title. Or Elon musk doesn’t really factor into Tesla 


 It is because it's being exaggerated so much as it's discussed widely in social media , while the data showing it's almost meaningless. Yes political has its influence but not so much when we carefully access the data and information. 

The biggest immigration after all is still going to Sacramento, these are mostly retirees age level or Baby boomers generation moving out from high-productive-economy to more retirement-area-suburb and also new development in that area, as the area is new growth.

The driving force is mostly because of high cost of living, people is moving to more affordable place.  But whoever ruling the country, the high COL place is almost high COL that drives people out.


 I appreciate a level headed conversation.To further here is where I differ.

The media can say what it wants. The facts are still the facts. That is an area where people have willful ignorance because the facts don’t back up their chosen party. 

The data really isnt really meaningless. It may not  be what we want to hear and go on emotion and feelings. The data in every American’s pocketbook says that inflation is out of control. I gave examples of main things that affect main streets money. Chicken is twice as much as it was if not a little more than twice. Gas is twice as much. A 2x4 is twice as much. In November 2020 including the huge dip from lockdowns factored in my investments were up about 45% return. They have since gone to the negatives and just now rebounded to sub 10%. That is a lot of money to lose. The cost of a mortgage 4% higher in intrest than it was. You get less house for the money. Most people it takes them out of the equation for even owning a home.

The policies of certain areas within the last 3 years have been disastrous for people. Crime is through the roof this is data not my feelings. California has had a loss of people for the first time I think in history. Sacramento might have lost people to the suburbs but I’m talking the whole state. These people and buisness are fleeing the policy of the lawmakers the small buisness can’t afford the crime major buisness can’t either and it’s becoming a passed on burden to the rest of us. These are data points.Look at the firms moving out of nyc and Chicago places moving out of Portland and Seattle. These are huge firms. They are going to different political landscapes. 

The cost of living is a direct correlation of political governmental policy. California,New York, Chicago, all have common political ideas. Meanwhile Texas,florida, Tennessee all have a similar trajectory. To me that is a direct correlation. The numbers don’t lie. My company has benefited because of California regulations and had to move production out of there. 

The high cost of living can’t be dismissed with luck or chance. There is a reason there is a high cost of living in those areas. The is a reason the cost of living is different in other areas. It has nothing to do with sunshine. 


 Klaus Schwab and the members of the world economic forum are most likely the ones who have the power to influence markets. As they are the un-elected ones funding those who set policy. Unfortunately (in my opinion from my 20+ years of research into the deep state, ruling class billionaires) my assessment is that they are doing everything they can to de-stabilize the world economy so they can usher in the pre-made solution. Which is a one world govt, currency and ultimately religion. This is not a conspiracy theory any more. They freely talk about it at Devos every year. As Klaus says "ziss is zee new world ordah". Ultimately we will not be allowed to own property. That's probably 20 years out but its coming. And that's not speculation. Its in their own literature.. Klaus Schwab said (and I quote) "You will own nothing and be happy". These people are ultra rich psychopaths who have nothing left to do but fulfill a destiny that was forged a long time ago. To some of you this might sound wacko but I don't want you to believe me. I want you to research for yourself Please. This is what I consider when investing,

Hello friends. My wife and I live in Oregon and we want to buy our first rental, but the interest rates and the housing prices in Portland are very high. A 3-bedroom house starts at $450k. But I'm getting the feeling to wait until after the election to see who gets into office before we pull the trigger. Without getting political here obviously if we remain on the current course of policy we will see another crash like we saw in 2008. Am I overreacting? Should I proceed with looking? 


 yes you are overreacting, this has been addressed thousand times in bp, to reduce risk you could buy house that the price pattern is similar to 2020-201 or also house that needs repair.


Ok. I will look into those types of houses.

Thank you!
