You can catch Rosen at his various workshops he hosts around the city, dishing on topics including the benefits of real estate investment and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Empowering Gen Z

I've definitely seen an increase in apartments being sold to Gen Z'ers, individuals who are 21 and below. Young people love homeownership, and why shouldn't they? Everything about leasing is somewhat demeaning, everything about homeownership is empowering, and nobody relishes self-empowerment more than Gen Z.

I love young people and they love me, too. In many ways I feel I relate to them as well as anyone else I might meet. They are sharp, nice, well-mannered and very fair-minded, in my experience. I feel like they are less cocky than my generation was at that time in life. Gen Z makes up a massive amount of people. They are going to be the leaders of tomorrow, and they know that real estate is a powerful asset class and wealth creation vehicle. Empowerment creates character and defines responsibilities, really always a win-win. I changed "did" to "executed"
