How do you reconcile future population decrease, boomers dying, and deportations when holding property long term? Just shift the focus to location?

I have been selling my rentals, but never made changes based on this or anything hypothetical. Actual vacancies was always my barometer.

Mine are in Hawaii so I'm not really concerned. I am growing tired of my condo because of HOA nonsense and the insurance bullshite so I'm likely going to sell that one once my really good tenant leaves. She's been there 5+ years now.

Why are you selling?

Sometimes I wonder if I should do the same.

Future population decrease will actually mean many people have more money to spend on things like housing because there will not be burdened with expenses of children. That would seem to suggest more people buying instead renting. What will actually happen is people will be more mobile because they do not feel the need to put down roots since they won’t have children tied to schools and extra curriculars. People will be renting more and have more money, so they will be able to afford higher rents.

There is about five million housing unit shortage in the U.S. (estimates vary between three and seven million). Still catching up from the lack of building during the financial crisis.

Deportations have slowed significantly under the Trump administration and even the last year of Biden (1.47 million in 2022, 1.09 million in 2023, to estimated of less than 700k in 2025 thought the actual numbers have curiously not been released because the Trump administration knows that will be used against them that he is not even on pace to deport as many people as Biden, notwithstanding promises to do so). Biden had more deportations than any administration going back to Bush II’s second term. That has slowed significantly.

Boomers are not renting, they own(ed), so they have little impact on the rental market.

Homes are difficult to move across much of the country except Connecticut, Silicon Valley and upper New York right now for a variety of reasons. People are choosing or being forced to rent as a result of inability to afford them (due to high prices, low wages for what used to be the middle class, interest rates or combinations).

The real threat to rentals nationwide are a significant number of the class that was renters formerly are now moving back home with parents after school. They are now saving for down payments on their own homes instead of renting.

The more concerning thing is demographic change

GTFO with that clown.

Trump is trying to clean your mess up in his 2nd term. link below proves trump deported more in his 1st term than biden in his term. Would you like me to give you links on what trump is deporting the 2nd term? after biden flooded the country? Naw, you do not want that do ya?

Boomers/gen x don’t realize how bad it’s gotten because illegals don’t go to dennys and the rotary club


The gym looks like Pakistan


Home Depot is Guadalajara


It’s over for America and Trump isn’t doing anything

Mostly because of age. Turning 65 this year and working towards simplifying. I still do new construction. I prefer this now because every project is short term. I can buy a lot, have a builder build the house, and have a realtor sell it, all in 12-15 months. I still think rentals are a good long-term investment. I owned all of mine for 20+ years.

I'm in the same boat. Would like to avoid Uncle Sam on taxes, but may just bite the bullet.

Houses will go into my estate and I'm not sure how to divide them amoung heirs. Money seems much easier.

If you could read without letting Fox News get in your way of thinking, I said deportations are down. I never wrote a thing about illegal deportations. It has nothing to do with illegal deportations. Whether they are legal or illegal has zero impact on rental markets. All of the deportations are well documented except 2025. My post was not meant to be political, it was meant to show objective evidence of deportations going down since 2021. Maybe you need to stick to the poli board. THAT shite CONSUMES YOU.

My post history on the money board speaks for itself. I’ve called NVDA to outperform BTC when nobody else was and it saw several 100 point rise during that time NVDA will outpace BTC in 2023, FTK on its rise to a 200% increase in a year FTK still undervalued after running up the previous three monthsand META to go over 100 points above where it was at the time META will go to 400 when stock closed at 298 META and NVDA to go on a continued run NVDA and META will be money machines 2023. . META will be up big in 2023 1/20/23 when stock was 139 and it finished the year at $351. Admittedly, have missed on RDDT, which I still cannot understand but believe it will go to $500 in the next five years.

Predicted NVDA to be 1200-1500 point stock on 1/24 here. NVDA to go to 12-1500

I cannot stand Biden or his supporters hypocrisy. But Trump lovers/thumpers like you who think he can do no wrong are just as bad as the Biden supporters.

Two miserable types of people in this world to be around. Those that think everything is Trump’s fault and those like you that think Trump is infallible. You are just as bad as those that think everything is his fault.

Most people can’t disassociate politics from other things. I know regardless of who’s in office US will print money driving up inflation which causes stock market to go up. Knowing that I have some positions in individual stocks but most of my money is divided up between QQQM and SPYM. Won’t get rich overnight but love seeing compound interest magic in practice
