My local market is extremely volatile right now.

Secure being things like bonds and low volatility investments.

The security and consistency of such an investment also make up for the volatility of our investments in other markets or asset classes, which is why I park the majority of our firm’s funds in this piece of the pie.During times like these, when inflation is rising and fewer people can afford luxury homes, there will always be a growing demand for affordable living space.When purchasing a multifamily property, remember that the initial cost must be low enough to ensure the property has a positive cash flow very soon after the purchase.

She sounds pretty volatile.

Although a number of people are concerned that SOFR will be more volatile, there will be other indexes that certain banks and institutions use as an alternative index option.Most loan docs over the last 3-5yrs had verbiage related to the potential change, and they gave guidance on what indexes would likely be used, the calculations for the new index, etc.

PM me if you're interested in getting the numbers I find.Best,JonHi Jon,I said "average drop of -35%" as that would be a ballpark figure for the overall LA market, according to your data, but risk could be different taking into account the particular features of a property, its specific location etcMany concepts from the stock market can be applied to real estate investing, like volatility, maximum drawdown, etc.. it is possible to get an idea of what those figures may be for a particular market observing historical data. 

In regards to SF verse duplex, I personally always opt for more doors, more income streams and less volatility. 

Yes I agree with you, with current trends this should not be an issue whatsoever....I posed this question as I was thinking about what future markets looked like in Idaho as compared to California...being that it is forbidden for lenders to go after homeowners with a deficiency judgement it would make sense that the California market is more volatile in regards to foreclosures (being that owners can simply walk away).....but if that was not the case or not typical in Idaho, owners would be more inclined to do everything they can to weather the storm and hold on until the market stabilizes. 

how stable/volatile is the market)?  

I think it’s subject to less volatility, and quite frankly I expect money to flow IN to these investments as money flows OUT of the stock market.
