You'd have to excuse me since I'm from the Silicon Valley where everything is inflated.My partner and I bought 3 small buildings this year totaling 21 units and in contract to purchase the 4th one, which will close in 3 weeks.

Just trying to understand how this applies in reality, especially considering 1/3 of global gdp is tech and perhaps 1/3 of that is in Silicon Valley/Bay area.
