ROI and cash flow only predict how a property is likely to perform on day one of a lifetime hold.

I run a real estate data venture that pulls from various private and public sources and curates these reports, so it's not a simple answer.Social Sentiment: Search demand and what people are saying online.Neighborhood Class: Cleanliness, crime, graffiti, and overall health.Demographics: Identify market segments & trends.GDP & Economic Growth: County-level GDP changes to assess economic vitality.Poverty Metrics: Analyze economic challenges.Construction Activity: Easily predict market supply.Occupational Diversity: Forecast housing & commercial needs.Education Insights: Understand community stability.Real Estate Trends: Identify property value & rental cycles.Houston was just a place where I felt like sharing some knowledge.

Even smart real estate investors cannot predict local housing markets with accuracy.I'll walk through 15 compelling reasons why it may be the right time to sell your investment property.1.

I just find it predictable that you would defend Boeing CEO (CEO of the company that caused deaths of hundreds of Americans lately), while at the same time vehemently opposing to wholesaling practices where no one dies, and if crimes are committed the harm can be reversed in court of law if properly prosecuted by AG's and pro-bono attorneys (contracts signed under duress or by seller lacking in basic mental capacities can be nullified in court of law and seller can me made whole, unlike people who died in plane crashes). 

Here’s a quick comparison to help clarify your decision.Real estate investing (REI), especially in multifamily properties, offers more predictable cash flow and tangible assets that appreciate over time.

The more you have of those the more you have a chance of things not going as predicted.

@Priscilla Chin decent way to compare markets, but a little short-sighted.CHALLENGE: No one can accurately predict where a market will be in 12, 36 or 60 months!

Curious what you're basing your numbers off of- I'm guessing the 2023 numbers are going to be a far more accurate prediction of future performance.  

Given my tech and data background, I'm considering developing an online app specifically for Canadian investors.I'm envisioning an interactive dashboard that integrates economic data, sales figures, bylaws, and rental information, complete with prediction models.
