Jason Childs, Opendoor’s chief financial officer, said the company’s geographic diversity and 90-day average flips helped shield it from a potential housing market crash.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it's great to get to learn from diverse experiences and people!

My concern is the diversity street by street.

I compared the numbers in every metric available -- population growth, job growth, income, education, family size, industry diversity, etc. -- to see which metrics actually tracked with rising rents.The metrics that track most with rising rents are:Tightening Supply (as measured by persons per unit)Median Household Income GrowthJob GrowthPopulation GrowthSo, while the common knowledge is to chase population growth, the real answer is to chase limited supply and rising incomes.

The ACS covers all the big census topics: population, income, unit count, vacancy, industry diversity, educational attainment, rents, home prices, etc.

We appreciate diversity and have not school age children.   

We do everything at our brokerage and I find people enjoy that we are so diverse.

Imagine if an app existed in which you could select a metro U.S. city and it populated a bunch of metrics relevant to real estate investing markets (e.g. population growth, unemployment, crime, job diversity, median house price, average rent, vacancy rate, etc).

I have a diverse fleet of 23+ units in the Phoenix market, mostly in Scottsdale.

They do not provide meaningful oversight or guidance with respect to tax code compliance.A checkbook IRA LLC is an enhancement on the above structure that is generally more time and cost efficient for investors with a more diverse portfolio.
