Midwest & Coastal Gateway vs. Sunbelt: Navigating Today’s Real Estate Investment Landscape

Breneman Capital, as well as many other investors, are beginning to take notice of the attractive investment prospects that many Midwest and Coastal Gateway markets present.

So are the Midwest and Gateway markets the new Sunbelt? The short answer to that – no. The Sunbelt’s long-term growth tailwinds cannot be ignored. And Breneman Capital is of the opinion that it’s a matter of when, not if, growth comes back to the Sunbelt.

However, today’s investment landscape in the Sunbelt is precarious at best. And in a volatile economy, it becomes much more difficult to decipher where compelling investment opportunities lie.

That’s precisely why we created our Market Outlook Model – a predictive appreciation model comprising the 52 largest markets in the US.

Midwest and Coastal Gateway markets’ fundamentals, relative to the national average, are the best they have been in a very long time. And their higher-than-average cap rates and near-term performance prospects make for an interesting combination to navigate today’s macroeconomic environment.
