When it comes to a strategy for real estate investing, one of the most important things you can do is to know about the demographics of a particular market, or simply, the people who live there. Investors need to be asking questions like: How many people live there? Is that number growing or shrinking? Are they mostly singles, families, young people or older people?  How will the generational differences impact the kind of housing that’s needed? And what will the market look like 10 years from now?   In this episode, you’ll get answers to those questions and many more from internationally recognized demographer Ken Gronbach, president of KGC Direct, LLC. He’s able to forecast societal, commercial, economic, cultural, and political phenomena with uncanny accuracy and will talk about an astronomical need for homes in the U.S. over the next decade. He also compares the U.S. to other parts of the world, and according to Ken, strong demand for housing in the U.S. will not be going away.   If you’d like to learn more about demographics, check out his two books: “Upside: Profiting from the Profound Demographic Shifts Ahead” and “The Age Curve: How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Storm.”    And to learn more about real estate investing, please join RealWealth and look through our website.
