Lol, too often, the mansion is the reason why they aren't millionaires.  :)
Even amongst the non mansions, because of the RE balloon, there are many on-paper milionairs...

Many ppl in Lakewood got into homes at ~400k + own one as an investment, and they have now appreciated so much that they are worth way more than 1MM (Net)

1. Million dollar home does not necessarily mean a million dollars net worth.
2. There are probably more than 10,000 families in Lakewood so 20% of that would be at least 2k millionaires. Which is far higher than your estimates.
Just FTR there are probably closer to 20K families in Lakewood.

Ok, even if I trim my number to a more realistic 10%, it is still way higher than the rest of the country bh

You think Lakewood has more millionaire households per capita than all other frum communities?

Dunno.
It's definitely one of the most entrepreneurial of the frum communities... similar to Willi and bk.

Very different than the OT communities where ppl are happy with a nice proffesionl salary

That's certainly true.  I think a of communities have shifted to less 9-5 positions and more entrepreneurial pursuits though.  Especially the most recent generation.

Very true.
Lakewood has a lower cost of living than most communities and less professionals/college graduates than (most?) other frum communities. All that adds up to higher rates of self-employment/entrepreneurship.

And the successful entrepreneurs are millionaires

Wyvr, AK really has to stop touting stuff THIS as the success of BMG.

It is so distasteful and wrong.

How do you explain the 6+ Duplexes for rent available in cedarwood hills?

Is this investors who cannot sell, or buyers who cannot afford the mortgage?

Either way the bubble is confirmed imho.

Did you notice that none of them are available yet? The owner hasn't even closed on it.

So?
They are houses bought with the intention of renting them out at first. How does that show a bubble regarding sales?

+1 and of course they list before they close, they want a tenant from day 1. Some people also buy with intention of living in basement at first, happens all the time in this town

I agree there is a bubble, but this is far from proof. Every time a new development is built there are multiple units available for rent, as many people buy while planning to live in their own basements. The question is how many houses will still be available to rent there in a few weeks from now

There are also developers/investors who keep a few houses for themselves, which they rent out, and then they "break even" tax wise on the project.

"Tax wise"?
I'm not who you think I am.
