(2)For recent contrast, the peak of the 2007 Great Recession saw job loss and unemployment rates at 6.5% and close to 10% — that’s a difference of 7% and nearly 4% and with a population of nearly 330 million those are big numbers.We are also seeing signs of a recovery taking shape and forming into what economists call a “K-Shaped Recovery”.This article aims to clarify the type of Recovery we find ourselves in, identify who has been most affected, how these changes reflect in the Austin Real Estate market, and review what key economic indicators to watch in Austin and Texas.Why Does It Form a "K"?

That's still quite wide.You'd need to hold a property in LA for 10 years for the 80% confidence internal to be entirely positive.So if you bought a duplex or even a house with the intent to sell in 3-4 years, chances are you'd make some gains in appreciation, but there's also a chance the property wouldn't appreciate, and then you also have to overcome the costs associated with buying and then selling the property.Given that we're in a really weird spot economically and at least some economists are predicting a recessionary environment next year, I'd recommend against househacking right now.That said, let's explore a scenario in which it might make sense to househack...If you were to househack in LA right now, you'd firstly want to find a property that lowers your cost of living.
