What should real estate investors watch out for\nin 2019? Like everything else, you\u2019ll find all kinds of opinions from experts.\nAfter doing our research, here are the things we believe are most likely to\nhappen this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Great Recession\u2019s impact on housing, combined\nwith a growing student loan crisis, have made it difficult for millenials to\npurchase homes. Many of them have been renting or living with parents, saving\nmoney for their first homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that the market has been doing well for so\nlong, millenials will buy more homes in 2019. They\u2019ve recovered from the\nfinancial crisis and have a few years of solid finances under their belts. They\nare tired of renting, since they realize they aren\u2019t building equity for themselves\nunless they own their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does this mean for you? It\u2019s great news if\nyou have properties for sale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seemed like everyone was preaching urban over\nthe last few years. You\u2019d think everyone and their mother was trying to move\ninto cities for various reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That just isn\u2019t the case though. Suburb areas\naround major metropolitan areas are growing rapidly. They tend to combine what\nmany consider the best of both worlds – they\u2019re more affordable than living in\nthe city, plus they have everything you\u2019d need. Stores, gyms, grocery stores,\nand great schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, even millenials are moving out to the\n\u2018burbs. As they start families, they want the best for their kids. The suburbs\noffer that affordability and are good places to raise a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does this affect you? The rise of suburbs\ngives you a great opportunity to invest in small residential homes in these\nareas. Three bedroom homes are usually a safe bet, since they accommodate most\nliving situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One unfortunate consequence of a growing,\npositive economy is rising interest rates. Several interest rate hikes have\nbeen announced, making it more expensive to buy new homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This isn\u2019t the best news in the world, but this\ncan actually be a good thing for real estate investors. As property gets more\nexpensive to buy, it could reverse the trend of millenials buying homes. Once\nthat happens, having a few rental properties available to give them places to\nlive will be a great opportunity for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you plan on buying more properties this year,\nconsider doing it sooner rather than later. The longer you wait, the more\nyou\u2019ll end up paying for the home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What else should real estate investors expect in\n2019? Home price growth will slow down. Work sharing spaces will continue to\ngrow. Local services that can\u2019t be impacted by e-commerce such as gyms or hair\nsalons will thrive despite growing concerns of retail going away. Automation\nand connectivity, two benefits of real estate investor software<\/a>, will make life\neasier for investors. Think about these trends as you make your investing\ndecisions in 2019, and it will be a great year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What should real estate investors watch out for in 2019?
