   Your video production values are much higher.

   Thank you Mrs. Davis!

   It’s amazing isn’t it, that they keep parading in one expert after another who talks in vague generalities, and nobody ever probes for specifics.

   I guess this goes back to the point that Jim and CV Owner had recently pointed-out. For those who have cash on hand, ready to invest, and do not feel comfortable investing in the stock market, holding single-family houses for rentals, even ones that produce modest 3-5% cash flow returns, are becoming a viable alternative. As was mentioned in the video, the “Private Investor” is having a difficult time (once again) competing with the REIT’s.

   The bigger point was the inflow of investment into US real estate from other countries. Ask yourself why that is?

   “The bigger point was the inflow of investment into US real estate from other countries. Ask yourself why that is?”

   The easy answer is the decades long trade imbalance. US Dollars with their place as reserve currency need to be recycled back into the US, somehow. Either you makes loans to the US government/US corporations or you make US based investments.
