In this YouTube short, Chris Prefontaine explains that renting houses and multifamily properties have become known as "alts," meaning alternative investments to traditional stocks and bonds. He argues that when market timing, prevailing interest rates, and other macro factors make those real‑estate alt markets unattractive, his approach—creative real estate—serves as an alternative to the traditional alt class. He identifies the current ideal audience as investors who are frustrated with the limitations of existing alt investments, but notes that convincing people to leave the stock market for these newer alternatives remains a significant challenge.
