Personally, I dont get the "BEWARE of KATRINA" sentiment that's out there.Hurricanes happen.

I'd disagree with the sentiment expressed in the post as a high density urban developer who handles entitlement in two markets. we wouldn't even touch a site that we couldn't get 50 units an acre on at a minimum. urban adjacent neighborhoods allow for this but not suburban. neither do the 2-3 story nature of build to rent properties the density is very low. 

Not sure what everyone's market sentiment is here, but there is are pretty straightforward indicators that markets are cooling. 

However, I am curious to hear sentiment from others.

More money in the market means more opportunities for everyone.Active Inventory: A whopping 52.6% increase in active inventory, from 2,717 to 4,146, means more options for buyers and a more balanced market.Despite a slight dip in the percentage of the original list price received (down 1%) and a minor increase in median time to contract (up 11.1%), the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.

And to make this process more efficient, we must stay abreast of design trends, workplace innovations, and ergonomic solutions that can enhance the functionality and appeal of our commercial properties.Updating Yourself with Economic Conditions and Political Changes: Stay informed about macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, employment rates, inflation, and interest rates, as these factors can impact overall market stability and investor sentiment.

Some people think the sky is falling and others are throwing all their chips in to ride the bull forward.when the sentiment is split, it's a good time to buy.when the sentiment is everyone would like to buy, is time to get out. please note that our psychology is impacted so much by that bombardment of news that we're going to the recession,layoff,ww 3, russia invasion,etc,etc..... 

I tend to agree with the sentiments of most of the postings here.  

I used to have S8 properties and for the most part I agree with your sentiment: it doesn't have to be as bad as the stigma around it might lead one to believe.

However, there is a new law recently passed by legislature pending approval by the Governor (general sentiment is that the law will likely pass) which would restrict landlord's ability to issue a notice to vacate to a few specific reasons.
