I have one item to add for consideration:  Will falling gas prices spur the up to this time absent Millennials to take the plunge into home ownership in 2015?

(Not even close) We haven't raised rents on our extremely good, millennial tenants, but if it was on the open market I think it would get ~$1k. 

Every report I'm reading says that rents for San Francisco and the Bay Area are starting to fall:http://sf.curbed.com/2016/10/4/13164686/san-francisco-new-york-rent-dropping-pricehttp://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2016/12/21/san-francisco-rent-decline.htmlAnd that's probably because a huge surge of millennials are entering their "settle down" years are can't afford to buy a home out there, so they're moving to Sacramento in masses.

Study: Millennials want the suburbs after allSAN DIEGO – March 13, 2017 – At 24 years old, Bre Hataishi wants a house.

It was significantly better than most of LA as far as local job growth, income growth, population growth, millennial growth and basically running on all cylinders.

I also attend MNREC, TwinREIA, and Millennial Investor Focus Group, and there are lots more!  

If you are in a "hip" city that has a shortage of affordable housing (like Austin), I think it's a good idea if you can make them cool, sustainable, and green whilest being sturdy enough to transport out to wherever these mobile millennials are going to live.

Considering how many millennials Denver has, how do you think they affect the housing market during the election?

I am interested in this topic in relation to the millennial generation.

On the other hand, the rental market in Boston is fairly secure in contrast to some other markets given its proximity to universities (student housing) and being a hub for young professionals (millennial renters).This isn't to say you won't make any money in Boston, but rather you won't have much positive cash-flow until mortgages etc.. are paid off.
