T
he real estate market has been particularly tough over the past two years, with high interest rates, stagnant rents, and dipping housing prices in some areas. However, this uncertainty also presents an opportunity for those who can plan ahead and adapt to long-term trends.

    Tony Robbins suggests that single-family rental properties still have demand, but investing in a small apartment may be more efficient due to the ability to manage multiple units from one location. For those without enough capital to buy an apartment outright, joining a real estate syndicate with a minimum investment of $25,000 can provide access to apartment projects.

    Robbins notes that rental income for apartments has remained relatively stable, as people who lose their homes often turn to apartments during difficult times. He also highlights senior housing as a promising opportunity, driven by the growing demand from aging baby boomers. As this demographic ages, the need for senior housing will increase, potentially leading to higher costs and returns on investment.

    Investors can get started with real estate investment trusts that specialize in senior housing properties or join a syndicate with a lower minimum investment requirement. While Robbins recommends apartments and senior housing, he advises against investing in office buildings and shopping centers, which tend to be more vulnerable during recessions and may lose value over time.
