Opendoor stock has been rising lately along with all other real estate services companies. Investors need to take a step back first and look at what exposure they're getting from an investment in OPEN stock. It's not a property tech firm, it's more like a property management firm. You see, Opendoor acquires homes which then sit on their balance sheet until they're sold for a profit. With gross margins of 10% during good times, there isn't a lot of buffer for when the property market sees a downturn. Last quarter saw gross margins of 5% which might be further squeezed if the bottom falls out of the residential property market. How many people are keen to buy a new house when mortgage rates exceed 7%? We find Opendoor stock to be way too risky for our tastes, even if they were a SaaS model with no exposure to the property process. Want exposure to residential properties in America? Invest in REITs instead.
