Real Estate & Stocks Analogy
- Real estate value comes from cash flow, principal paydown, and appreciation, similar to dividends and growth in stocks.
- Different markets behave like different stock types: high appreciation in landlocked cities, steady dividends in expansive markets.
Land Constraints Shape Markets
- Land constraints limit growth and rent pressure in high-cost cities, causing scarcity-driven appreciation.
- Markets with unlimited land growth face an artificial rental ceiling due to continuous supply additions.
Develop & Hold Strong Thesis
- Invest based on a strong thesis, have capital ready, and hold through market cycles to test your thesis.
- Pay attention to land supply signals from brokers and developers to shape your investment strategy.
