She finally bought her own home with no stairs in it for her mom.I would have loved to have kept every house, but like kissing pretty girls, as much as I would have loved to have kept every one it was not really possible. 

And while living in downtown LA or San Francisco in a cramped apartment with 5 roommates is cool when you’re young and single swiping on Tinder, there’s one situation where it’s certainly not cool at all…When you’re pregnant.I noticed this trend back in California when I had several clients back to back that were all late twenties / early thirties with either a bun in the oven or a baby already here and they were looking to escape the high prices of the Bay Area and move into more affordable markets like Sacramento and Stockton in California’s Central Valley.Just take a look at Phoenix’s population pyramid to notice how it swells right in the sweet spot of people about to have their first kid and want to buy their first home shortly afterwards:And not only do you have the millennials here in the Phoenix Metro Area, you also have them moving from Los Angeles and greater southern California:https://la.curbed.com/2016/5/23/11753840/los-angeles-migrationAnd can you blame them?

Those areas tend to be first to decline in a down turn and last to recover in an upturn.With baby boomers and retirees about 75% that are moving away from cold belt states are going to GA,FL, and TX.

Building smaller homes to suit those just entering the the market and baby boomers exiting the market.

Go shake hands and kiss babies at REIAs.

But I felt a void - it was just not exciting enough, it was a boring desk job, 9-5 nothing ever changed, hit the check boxes and go home  - I stuck around for another year and finished my degree, it was just not enough - I reached out to my business partner today, just started my Executive MBA grad degree #2 - asked for an opportunity (I was about 24 then) he gave it to me in his established property management business, I would be responsible for construction business development, had to quit my job, started working with no compensation, commision only - baby steps fast forward to today, own a medium size brokerage, established construction staff, exited and sold the retail property management business I walked into at the age of 24 and rolled out a boutique brokerage for Smartland investors only, made partner and am totallty obsessed with real estate - Its been an exciting ride so far, I am glad I took the plunge - just don't get me wrong, it takes lots of hard work, substantially more work then 9-5 but the payoff at the end is what counts : ) 

Her mom called me and talked about how I should consider getting them some kind of window unit or some other non-central alternative and it was clear that her daughter and I aren't friends and she isn't the best at communicating and she's been so hot in that apartment all day and more excuses.I'll be the first to admit I butted heads with this girl more than I should have.

A lot of Baby Boomers leaving the workforce causing a vacuum. 

I closed the door and said to my wife "that guy is crazy" LOLIt's not just first world problem, I would be more specific "It's western world problem, baby boomer generation self entitlement selfish thingy" and just laughing.

I also have a little baby 6' tape measure that I use a lot.
