Alli Peck pitches a short business idea: create an index-like financial product that lets investors short specific real-estate addresses or neighborhoods (analogous to shorting stocks) to profit if local housing values fall. She asks viewers why the idea would not work or whether it already exists, soliciting feasibility feedback.
I have a business idea, but I can't figure out why it wouldn't work. So please tell me. Or maybe it even exists already. All right. You know how you can invest in real estate market if it's going up and now separately, you know how you can short stocks when they're going down with the stock market? What if there was some sort of index fund where you could short specific addresses with real estate if you thought, hey, I really think that neighborhood's going to go down in value really quickly, really soon, you could short it and make money. Why would this business idea not work? Please tell me.
