Account Closed That is a really great question because in answering it you will start to really understand the machine behind what determines interest rates and in turn what drives the entire real estate market at the macro level.

For the most part, macro-markets will either be investor-friendly in terms of typical price-to-rent ratio, or they won't.

Macro trends don't really mean much.

When I saw the post outlining the ideal introductory post asking what my goals in real estate were, I felt that something too macro wouldn't really convey my ambitions.I would definitely appreciate any and all advice you can have about the market in San Diego because right now I am relying on information online and day trips to San Diego when my realtor recommends a property matching my specifications.

We’re playing a long game that requires us to look at 3, 5, 10, even 25 year trends, and although what the macro-market is doing now affects your acquisition strategy it doesn’t need to affect your existing portfolio. 

Being from Tampa, FL the same thing is happening there I had to leave the city, it's way too noisy and crowded.TL;DR: As an investor so long as the market is in the rebound phase, and jobs are moving in.

You also need to be aware of macro economic trends created by the internet which is reducing both the need for office space (WeWork and other co-locating spaces) retail space (Amazon, etc.).  

Nope.Personally, I'd imagine there are many other cyclical, and short-term macro-economic events between now and then could make you rich or bankrupt in real estate many times over, before the water rises enough to impact your plans. 

They are noisy in the middle of the night.

Does anyone use real estate analytics to do macro analysis of where to invest?
