Have you ever wondered what the total ROI for your entire real estate portfolio really looks like? While you might have ROI details for each property, combining profits and costs from properties purchased in different years can be challenging. Many investors track each property individually but lack a tool that consolidates everything into one clear view.

PortfolioMax Tracker simplifies this by consolidating the performance of up to 40 properties into a single, comprehensive summary dashboard, regardless of their purchase dates. It provides a clear overview of your entire real estate empire.

The tool offers detailed real-time ROI tracking and forecasting for each property by monitoring changes in home value, rent, and interest rates. It delivers a comprehensive analysis of your portfolio’s total ROI, including cash flow, principal paydown, appreciation, equity, depreciation, and tax savings, all in one unified dashboard.

You can also simulate new purchases to see how they will impact your overall portfolio performance. With PortfolioMax Tracker, you’ll have the insights needed to keep your portfolio strong and well-managed.

Currently, us YIMBYs are sort of having a field day right now politically since the DNC Convention's announcement of their platform with regard to their vision for housing.

But, I feel like the celebrations are premature. Even if the filibuster is broken and laws are passed that would lead to huge grants in developing affordable housing, and loosening of zoning and permitting regulations, what's going to stop NIMBYs and real estate tycoons, whom have been profiting from the status quo, to file a lawsuit that would reach the Supreme Court? What"s going to stop the Supreme Court from overturning progress on housing policy, in order to make the "Democrats lose"? After all, the majority Conservative Supreme Court benefit from the GOP's popularity and electability, which have been mostly gained from stopping Democrats from making progress and blaming things on them when material conditions become worse due to Congressional inaction.

Most importantly, is the YIMBY movement as a whole taking the Supreme Court into account and are planning accordingly long term? Do they even have any plans to circumvent a rogue, partisan and unethical Supreme Court?

In S3E11-12 of Star Trek: Deep Space 9, the main characters travel back in time to late August, 2024, San Francisco, where they end up getting caught up in the Bell riots, a hostage crisis/protest from Sept. 1-3 about how the homeless were being treated, downstream of what they thought in the early 90s might be the biggest problem of today, the job market.

Needless to say, our biggest problems today are due to the housing crisis, and Monday is Labor Day, so I thought it would be fun to get out in the park and do a bit of rioting ourselves. And by riot, I of course mean hang out in the park with beer and music (possibly a sign or two, if you want).

I've been thinking about this for some months, but as a proud (eventually-to-be) member of the Procrastinator's Club of America, I didn't really get around to it until last night (after the neolib August social had ended, so I couldn't even go to that to invite people :/ ).

I realize it's incredibly short notice, but if anyone is in, please leave a comment! If anyone has any recommendations for groups I can reach out to, or wants to pass on any messages, the same. If anyone has any advice at all such that this isn't a complete failure, despite my seeming every attempt to make it so...

So I live in an American suburb, there’s about 10,000 citizens in my particular town, there is a park within walking distance of almost every residence (one a 8 minute walk from me, one about 12), there’s a grocery store about a 15 minute walk away from me. Forever my town has resisted people buying property to build soulless mini mansions and re-zoning existing properties, has rejected offers by big businesses for stores, and proposals to buy the parks and build anything form mansions to high density housing. And last year my city even bought an old suburban property for another park. And yes, pretty much the entire place is walkable and there’s a lot of places where it’s weirder to see a car on the road than people on the sidewalk, or even on the road because there’s that low a chance that one goes by.

Is this a NIMBY land or a YIMBY land?

As a conservative, I find the fact that other fellow conservatives haven’t been addressing the housing crisis adequately is worrying – a trend of political rallying amongst conservatives not around policy and solutions but around rhetoric and baseless attacks. So, I provide a conservative case for YIMBYism here on /r/yimby:

1. Loosening government regulation and control over our housing market

One thing all conservatives unite on is the disapproval of extending government regulations, and conservative-style YIMBYism could be the solution towards this. Elimination of minimum parking requirements, legalizing ADUs and ACUs and the reduction of minimum lot size requirements to 1,500 sq ft., for one, naturally leads to greater ability for housing infrastructure construction, but also reduces the necessity of government overlook when in regards to housing.

2. Promoting working-class families and general population growth

Historically, the Republican Party has been in support of labor – even now they have many pro-labor elements. YIMBY policies leads to working-class families being able to afford homes and succeed off their income alone. The same way conservatives reminisce of the 1950s and 1960s where entire families can suffice off of one man’s income, we can return to that idea once again with YIMBY ideas. This also leads to population growth (a critical necessity particularly now in the West) with families being created as housing becomes cheaper.

3. Rights of property owners and individualism

A core principle of conservatism is individualism and personal liberty – promoting housing development and legalizing ADUs and ACUs promote property owners to modify their home to their liking. Simple as that.

4. Promotes small business and entrepreneurial venture

Another core principle of conservatism is promotion of business, which the legalization of ACUs would also promote. If we keep ACUs illegal, then we are actively working against small businesses – something conservatives are loudly in vocal support of.

If conservatives can’t support these views, then they might as well vote against their principles. A trend in the Republican Party is label internal dissent and criticisms as “RINO behavior”. But it’s true RINO behavior to act against property rights, individualism, the traditional family, small businesses, labor, and opposition to government contravention.
