Millennials and Real Estate

Millennials approach real estate investment differently from the other generations. It’s easy to determine their preference by looking at where they put their money on - travel, wine, retail, a cup of coffee. They buy practical things and prefer open layout living spaces that are not bigger than what they would need. So, the question is, are Millennials really that far off from buying real estate? Today, I talk about some updates on the Millennial generation - their buying power and capacity, and their general mindset regarding real estate investment.
