Javier Benson, Vice President of Business Development and Marketplace Operations for RealtyShares, joins Cheddar for its "House Rules" segment, sponsored by Chase Home Lending.

Benson talks about how millennials are concerned about those factors, but are also trying to stay pretty close to urban areas. Also, he explains how technology has changed the real estate game for the better.
