I think that trends among millennials (who make up most first time buyers, which is a massive chunk of my market) are significantly more interested in an urban lifestyle.

Maybe this will have a trickle-down effect for all housing stock in the Portland Metro, jacking up prices for SFRs and pushing millennials and working class people to apartments (Brian's niche).  

Waiting is not my forte, blame it on me being a millennial.

I believe recent "event"  have postponed the problem, but with more and more uniformed millennials reaching adulthood every day the issue will not be corrected until a crash.When that crash happens everyone will be impacted whether they prepare or not, and there's simply nothing that can get the masses of Tide-Pod eating, condom-snorting millenials to reject their pop-culture educations aside from that very same economic collapse they are hell-bent to see.In other words, I recognize that it is inevitable and that there's not a damn thing I can do about it.Until then I plan on being smart with money, investing in real estate, and avoiding wasteful debt on items that aren't income-generating assets... expert for my truck and pets lol

The issue is real, but Millennials are now the #1 largest group of home buyers.

It's logistical advantages coupled with growing number of local amenities (Fermentation District, Encore Casino, Biking Trails) are making it much more attractive for millennials to start owning properties and moving to this community.

BiggerPockets strives for a positive culture - one without complaining - because that's the only thing that helps those stuck in analysis paralysis eventually take the next step.And as for the "bros" (definitely feels like millennial are the only targets - y'all do know we don't all say "bro" right? 

I came across this article on CNBC: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/28/budget-of-millennial-millionaire-who-saves-80percent-of-his-income.htmlThis guy bought his first house at 23 by using his $19k in savings and a 3.5% FHA mortgage loan ($506k purchase price for the home).

My pm was telling me to start buying in the Hyde park area because a lot of millennials are starting to inquire over there.

Look at millennial and tech trends, owning a car is becoming less important, and it's a liability.
