I like these amongst ,many other right nowREXR - (Rexford) they are a niche (sub-specialist) in industrial warehouse/distribution/manufacturing in the southern California only urban or Infil area, they are not international like PLD - prologis, their MOAT is that SO-Cal has geographic limitation to new inventory, so they have rent pricing power that industrial in rest of country doesn't, also 26 million people in so-Cal and the 2 busiest Ports in country, their earning/revenue projections next few years are best in class, and they are cheaper on price to book than PLD or others, I own some and will buy a lot more in upcoming Recession, likely in next 6-12 months, when publicly traded equities will likely slide by 20-30% although their assets (physical buildings) are only going up in valueVICI- (casino REIT), used to be part of Cesars palace, then Caesars spun them out in 2018, to do sale leasebacks of their properties to take all that physical capex off the books.

The only way to make housing less expensive is either increase everyone's income (not going to happen), build more housing or allow fewer people in the country (assuming populations are increasing-they are in Canada).I've increased rents, but I have 3 rentals in areas with caps on rent increases and all of them are far below market value because of rent caps and long term tenants. 

IMO Florida (especially Tampa Bay/Beaches) is one of the best returns on STR in the country. 

It introduces more steps and time to get that information, because you have to go directly from each listing agent, which is problematic is we're trying to work fast to submit an offer within a span of a few hours.The bigger hurdle for most of the country is getting buyers to sign an exclusive representation agreement to work with a buyer's agent.

You seem to missing the point here, the NAR is one of the most powerful lobby groups in the country and this erodes that power.

I have been a global business developer in the world of construction equipment for the first half of my life's career and have watched Kubota take over the global excavator market country by country since the 90s against a field of 30+ competing brands by offering a product that costs 5% less, has a slightly better initial quality and about similar performance.

Period.Most countries require RE licenses .

On top of that, I have been pushing some travel all this time, and I can no longer do it for personal reasons, so on the 14 of August, I'm not even in the country. 

It looks like we are on opposite sides of the country, but we still have a bit in common.

I found Town and Country, Chris Ivy.
