When there's hype for something, common sense goes out the window.

Per Sq Ft Sales prices seem to high to turn a profit renting them.I also believe that a unit with 20 paid applicants before you moved out means it was probably listed below the market rate.I'm also interested in Portland with the Portland Investment Initiative and all of that hype.

Another (6 unit plus huge rentable 2 story garage) was listed as 2 bedrooms units and I was super hyped about it for the price and the location as it's in an area that is really coming back.

If it lives up to the hype I guess a lot more age groups could have some exposure just like gold etc.  

It's really easy to fall to the trap of social media and Instagram gurus screenshot Ing their so-called returns on their stories and making posts about how much money they made, and wearing crazy Rolex watches and recording podcasts on yachts to believe that all that hype is true.

As for the strategy,  I know all the hype is behind Brrrr,  but this comes with a lot of risk for the first investment.  

Seems to this old dog that we may never return to the ROIs (10-20+%) of 25-30 years ago for several reasons:1)There’s been and continues to be too much hype/content about real estate as an investment and much of it started when Rich Dad came out.

Whatever happened to the NFT craze?

He recently came out with a "world's first blockchain NFT for tokenized real estate," (Tykes), hyped it up a ton, and then shortly after launch completely stopped marketing for it.
