Hello BP community,I have observed a lot of confusion on the forums about financing options and the availability of programs for RE investors.

So theyll be ok with inflation at around 2.5% probably.Now the issue would arise if inflation starts to go above this, this would essentially force the fed into a tightening cycle which will have the unintended consequence of driving down asset prices and may trigger a series of other consequences as the cost of revolving credit goes up etc...Having said all that, I think this is a low risk since demographics, work from home, globalization and automatization all make the type of inflation seen in the 80’s a remote risk.My girl is in restaurant business and already seeing increases in food prices (just an anecdotal observation).

Each location will be different as far as what is "better" so not fiscal advice that way, just an observation.

It speaks to what I've observed as a very regular buyer & seller of rental properties. 

It was clearly a marketing mistake to many observers.

A couple of observations:1.

Then look up the following criteria:Unemployment ratesPopulation growthAge range population changes Median rent ratesVacancy ratesPercentage of job sectors (says be careful in areas that have one dominant sector +25% bc if that sector tanks it will most likely have a neg impact on rents)Top employers (same as above)The you take that data and observe the trend over the last 5 years to try and get a good grasp on how that area is trending.

So, I'm interested in any geographical metrics or observations that people have.  

An observation on this topic.It’s interesting to see how the attitude differs from region to region in this discussion.

As a kid her and her siblings were diagnosed with ADHD (she said they are fed high doses of sugar and crap to get them to spaz out during the observation period) and the parents collected their "disability" checks until they turned 18.
