From Barron&#8217;s Edited by Robin Goldwyn Blumenthal:
The carnage in housing hasn&#8217;t spared any sector of the real-estate market.   But favorable fundamentals could turn apartments into lucrative investments again. &#8220;The demographics are very supportive for apartments, with a lot of young people graduating from college,&#8221;says Sam Chandan, chief economist of real-estate research firm Reis. <a href="http://www.theschmoozer.net/2008/03/16/its-the-best-time-in-30-years-to-be-investing-in-apartments/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
