Many "newbee" investors may think the past 10+ years or so is how the real estate market/s typically work - relatively low rates with an ever increasing value trend.

This is where you put on your detective hat and dive deep into the world of real estate data, demographics, and trends. 

But, the trend is personalization, connection, and balance.

I couldn't agree more with @Sam Green Self Storage is a great business to get into, but it's important to do your research on the trending market first.

To help you decide, look into trends in real estate prices, interest rates, vacancy rates, and rental demand.

Consistent search volumes for rental-related queries like "apartments for rent Syracuse NY" match well with the demographic profile, indicating ongoing interest in housing in this area.Supply and Demand DynamicsBuilding Permits: A notable surge in building permits in 2024, particularly for 2-unit and 5+ unit multi-family structures, notably in zip code 13224, signifies both growing demand and increasing supply, potentially influencing market prices.2024Total Units56Units in Single-Family Structures4Units in All Multi-Family Structures52Units in 2-unit Multi-Family Structures32Units in 3- and 4-unit Multi-Family Structures0Units in 5+ Unit Multi-Family Structures20Google Search InsightsSearch Trends: The terms "luxury apartments Syracuse NY" and "new apartments Syracuse NY" show increased interest, particularly with searches peaking for new construction assets.

And then, , with the trend back towards insourcing, meaning manufacture of goods in the United States based on what happened with the supply chain and China, , investing in areas along major interstates is probably a good idea to the transportation and logistics is going to be very, , very strong there.

We are currently in a down trend that I expect to last three or more years.
