Tracy California Rental Property – Should You Be Targeting Baby Boomers?

Should you be targeting Baby Boomers for your Tracy California Rental Property?

Thanks to modern medicine, and the desire to continue living their lives as they once did, Baby Boomers (age 65 or older) are working longer and they no longer own Real Estate like their parents and Grandparents did.

About Baby Boomers

Why are Baby Boomers these days renting instead of owning Real Estate? Most Baby Boomers who don’t own Real Estate lost their homes after the recent housing market crash while others lost their retirement incomes.

Regardless of the reasons why Baby Boomers are renting vs. owning Real Estate you should be targeting your marketing to Baby Boomers when you have vacancies in your Tracy California Rental Property.
