Long Term Trends in Real Estate

I’m a little slow on this one, but back in the November issue of Business 2.0, they has a story called The Next real Estate Boom. The article looks at three long term strategies for real estate investing. They are predicting tremendous opportunities in real estate in the next 25 year.

The three long term strategies are:

1) Step Into the Path of Sprawl – Major cities which are relatively lose together are going to start merging, and the land between them is going to be very valuable. This is a good place to do raw land investment.

2) Park Money in Parking Lots – Many American cities have more parking lots then they need, and as land in urban areas becomes more valuable, opportunities to build vertically will exist. Parking lots allow this kind of expansion called infill.

3) Give Them What They Quieren – The Latino population in America is booming; 33 million more are expected in this county by 2030. These 33 million people will need housing and places to shop. Catering towards Latinos will make a lot of sense.
