This new trend is slowly catching on, especially among millennial homeowners who appreciate a more rustic or industrial look.

It's becoming one of the go-to destinations for rich millennials, and it's home prices -- while admittedly higher than Denverites would like them -- are still relatively cheap compared to many of the other "cool" cities people want to live in.

I get a lot of millennials/X-Gens at my rental that is a bit more hip and groovy - closer to the "action", whereas I tend to get a bit older crowd at my place that is quieter and more family oriented.  

I understand there is a lot of Freemont and Art district entertainment venues for millennials in this neighborhood.

I’ve never felt the need to go beyond that, but I’m a millennial.

That being said, they appear to be trying to attract millennial buyers, however, at the sametime, some of the other larger banks are closing out of certain residential/consumer mortgage lending practices.

However I do have several other opportunities come strolling by every now and then and being a millennial I sometimes chase the squirrels.

One of my favorite resources is the Millennial Investors Facebook group.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/12/stop-blaming-millennials-killing-economy/577408 Is it any wonder that Millennials are eager to overthrow a system that has duped them into a story of permanent progress, thrown them into debt, depressed their wages, separated them from the trappings of adulthood, and then, for good measure, blamed them for ruining canned tuna?

I would think the issue would be if rents soften and go down or you have vacancies.. keep in mind not all apartments did well in the down turn.. in Vegas many lost apartment complex's same with Phx.. when vacancy went to 30 to 50%.. they lost them to the bank.I know of one big apartment owner in Oregon who sold their prime Portland 3 and 4 caps chasing yield in vegas 100 million dollar roll up.bought vegas in 06 with max debt and by 2010 he lost the entire portfolio to foreclosure.. in the meltdown nothing was immune.. although Portland ( and this is all very regional) that rental market was strong.. but today as we sit here it is weakening in Portland rents are coming down.. and those that have built new complexs are going to be stressed  for sure.. when rents get higher than owning which is kind of what has happened.. this thought that millennials don't want houses is just not correct.. they are not brain dead.. they know rent is a waste of money so when our rents in PDX get to 2500 to 3k or they can buy a brand new 400k home for the same price.. that's who is buying my new builds its that 30 to 40 year old new family.
