Good markets are ones where their is job growth, which will drive population growth along with somewhat limited housing supply that will help create demand.

This is just a simple supply and demand curve.When the economy expands, the demand for money increases (more financing for projects etc.).

Therefor form supply and demand prospective there are many more people in the market for SFR then multi-family.

I used sticks off the ground ect....Occasionally, I still go out and do grunt work without supplies as a memorial to the benefits of hard creative work.

When the trend of supplying "affordable housing" for home buyer is completely reversed, The power of renters is only going to get bigger and stronger.

They include repairs and maintenance, insurance, management fees, utilities, supplies, property taxes, etc.

Stocks are just another product, in many ways, and subject to supply and demand like anything else.

Vast supply - too many apartments-for-rent in the area. which links to the next one:2.

.- Whenever there is anyone who wants to be on title while not supplying anything I don't even consider it.

That's just simple supply and demand, assuming that there are jobs in or near the area your investing.I do think that high unemployment as well as lack of motivation for people to get off their a** and find a job will have an effect.
