What's in the Near Future for Real Estate?

Shared economy and leveraging other tools outside of Airbnb to extract the most value out of each hard and soft asset that rests on top of the land.

I mostly agree with you Sir Dean. However, and now that the election is mostly behind us in real terms, be it President Elect Trump, or had it been Hillary Clinton, the tax plans at hand are both somewhat off the mark from my point of view, and that of the reality of the global economy. How we as America play it will determine much of our near future, but it is here to stay. Here's the reasoning: Raising Taxes by Clinton, or had it been Sanders, would be futile! When we follow the actual money worldwide, it follows tax reduction/tax evasions strategies. Very few corp's actually pay the corporate rate. Actually, the numbers show that few even pay the most accepted "fair" rate of 24% to 26%. Most pay way under 20% and the 12% to 15% range is somewhat the norm. So raising the rate or lowering it officially by the new President Elect works against a simple reality: IF all the world's corp's were forced to pay equally, the equivalent of 24% to 26% to their host countries, almost every western country on this planet would have a boost in their general funds revenues. In America, that is an annual $ 6 trillion without raising taxes. What does that mean? We could effective "reset" what our income evaluation ranges are, then plan according, and more effectively attack income disparity. How does this work? Simple put, we can lower the general tax rate to individuals to almost nothing, all the way up to the "real and effective" buying power of the "real middle class" whose low should be about $$79,000 per year for an individual, about $125,000 for a couple. The tops for a couple would be in the neighborhood of $330,000 per year. That is the actual buying/purchasing power of the middle class in about 1978/79. Purchasing Power is the rightful verbiage when considering the middle class, not the numbers. Both political parties don't have it right because each has an agenda. Yet, this is where the world - and America, is heading! President Obama, after the last G-20 meeting signed the 3rd agreement between nations, as they all are cooperating towards disclosing what each corporation is making in real revenues in their countries, and will report it to the host countries, starting now, this year, ending Dec. 31, 2016. Now. Apple or anybody else is keeping cash over seas because back when NAFTA was enacted, the Republicans' started to "protect" our markets. This pissed off the Japanese who then retaliated, due to the tariffs, and took America to the World Court, saying that our Foreign Sales Corporations (FSC's; I loved these little suckers!) were illegal, and won. So now, if you made money over seas anywhere, when you repatriated the money into the American Currency, the Dollar, you only paid 2% tax on it. So, with that gone, you end up actually double taxed! Now, we have the mess we have. This also gets fixed IF YOU KNOW THAT THE TAX YOU ARE GOING TO PAY IS A SET AMOUNT EQUALLY, AND YOU CAN'T TRANSFER YOUR MONEY AROUND THE WORLD TO BEAT THE RATE; NO DEDUCTIONS. YOU INVEST FOR THE RIGHT REASON, OF GOOD LABOR FORCE, ETC... And are forced to then compete equally. So, the tax debate is actually just a waste of time and an anachronism. If President Elect Trump "doesn't get it" as he gets transitioned, we're screwed in the short term. The Real Estate Markets need stability. That is when they thrive. What is in favor of investors during one cycle, will only favor the same investors in another cycle, because people like you will continue to show us the way to thrive with the punches... That is where it is all going. And by the way, with the above changes, within about two years, all the worlds deficits just go away. Remember, they are paper positions. This is what is known as Quantum Economics. The math hold up. Have a nice day :-)

The actress is good on the NAR advertisements so are the ideas like puppies, hot tubs and BIG closets. Crushing it!
