Let's also take into account every 7-15 years, if you're an American, you'll face a recession followed by an interest rate cut.

I’d like to know what percent of DSTs formed and marketed during say 2007-09 (pre Great Recession) made a decent return vs DSTs formed during 2014-18 (boom times).

Historically, such declines have served as leading indicators of an impending recession as employers tend to shy away from layoffs initially, opting instead to reduce hours, making this decline a significant red flag for the economy.Adding to the concerns is the fact that 639 U.S. corporations filed for bankruptcy in 2023.

I’d rather diversify and have a 50/50 split between the stock market and real estate in case the economy has a recession.

I could only see a harsh decline in rates if the economy goes into recession.

However, despite better property conditions, Class A can be sensitive in times of a recession if high income earners suffer from increased unemployment.Class B and C properties tend to be bought and sold at higher CAP rates than Class A, as investors are paid for taking on the additional risk of an investing in an older property with lower income tenants, or a property in a lower income neighborhood.The property class investors choose can have a great deal of influence on the stability of an investment over time, as well as its growth appreciation.

That being said, I was wondering if little things like; creating storage under a stairway, adding recessed lighting, automated technology fixtures/features (Alexa, Google, etc), little things like that.

That advantage can translate into quicker growth or plugging holes during recessions by isolating and eliminating low performers or paying off higher grade individuals.

The banks are dumping houses because they have to many for too long, to high number of days of missed payments, way higher than the great recession.

I now also am willing to spend more on a room.Lastly, remember as a general rule in macro/micro economics is during a recession the younger generation wealth dries up quick and the older knows how to make it stretch and they have larger wealth to spend.
