INVENTORY SLIDES, GEN X AND Y, WANT TO BUY, AND THE SMALL INVESTOR

Los Angeles inventory is down 37.1% and Orange County is about there too.  The city taking national honors for the biggest slide is our own San Diego with 40.7% (according to the national KCM Blog.)  Generation X and Y, in a recent survey, were asked, "what is a fundamental indicator of success?"  A whopping 75% said it was owning a nice home and only 12% said an extravagant vacation.  Home ownership is in America's DNA.  Should the small investor attempt to buy a single-family property as a rental.  Only a discussion with your financial planner can tell you what's right for you, but here are some thoughts... 1) Nationally, rental leasing volumes were up every month for 2 years.  2) Supply of available rentals is down 11% in the same period.  3) Rent growth is expected to increase at a very strong clip in 2013.
