| | I almost fell out of my chair when I read this statistic about Millenials:
"Almost 40% of young Americans were living with their parents, siblings or other relatives in 2015, the largest percentage since 1940."
As millenials age and get their financial house in order, they will be a huge source of demand for housing.
