There is a whole lot of money chasing too few properties. It's hard to find homes with a lot of equity in them right now. It would take a sharp economic downturn to reverse that.

Though the investor may want this, does the population at large?

I don't invest in real estate, so I don't face any challenges. With home prices increasing the numbers don't always pencil out anymore for many investors, however, due to lack of inventory.
