And especially in SF, with rent control and urban density, you literally get extreme and absurd situations like a multi million dollar condo literally RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a rent controlled flat where the immigrant inhabitants (6 in a small 2BR) collect recyclables in their back yard.  

As the child of immigrant parents, I spent most of my life believing that there was only one way to live life: go to a good school, get a good job, work until I retire.

ITIN loans can be a great option for individuals who do not have social security.ITIN are issued to anyone who files a U.S. tax return and has payment responsibilities, regardless of immigration status.

I hear the call of 500k of immigrants coming to canada.

I think the US could increase the population through immigration which could drive housing higher. at the same time lower inflation. 

My husband just immigrated here from Australia in the beginning of this year, so our long term income is not verifiable in the eyes of the banks.

Multifamily is safe bet for many as with shortages in affordable housing nationwide, people are in need of good housing options and there is high demand for multifamily in many cities from senior living, millenials and immigration numbers.However, as the cycle shifts and especially in this pandemic time frame, there is opportunity for an investor to find the building types such as office space no longer used, due to remote workforce, and convert to create demand.

The city is filled with an insane number of contract workers surrounding the entertainment industry and a large immigrant population (probably ignored in these statistics, smh) that subsists on gig work that has quickly come to a halt.Also wtf, $3,432 average rent in Boston. 

Huge shortage of housing, huge shift in migration/immigration. 

$7 trillion in stimulus, loose monetary policy, going to war in Ukraine, tariffs, limited drilling, and 5-10 million fewer workers (limited immigration for 1.5 years, mass early retirement during the pandemic, added deaths, millions more on disability with long covid or claims of it).
