I say it's mostly hype.

There is a lot of hype to bring in investors from out of the area here with low property costs and high returns but once you are sold a house then it doesn't perform for several reasons.

Totally over hyped.

This is why the BRICS won’t live up to the hype- there is no trust, which is one of the foundational pillars of a successful currency. 

I've noticed a lot of hype around Dubai’s off-plan real estate market lately, with many people jumping in, often without a clear understanding of what makes a solid investment.

He does not come across as someone that uses 1031...hence why he hypes up the exit.

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.

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.
