The TRUTH BEHIND WHO IS BUYING ALL THE HOUSES...

- At this very moment, several states are looking at how they can ban or limit altogether corporations from buying single-family homes. And a lot of people in my comment section have expressed that this is something that they would like to see happen. However, what you might not know is Wall Street is only a very small percentage of the corporate homebuyers, who are buying up all the single-family homes. In fact, small mom and landlords buy up the lion's share of single-family homes in America as investment properties.

Good,,,,, it's just poison anyway.
It's not mom & pop investors you are seeing in the chart. My brother owns & operates the largest real estate company in Colorado & in recent years, he has been purchasing many residential properties in Tennessee as well. He owns many corporations that each own small number of properties. Many smart & nimble investors do this primarily for liability & tax reasons. I am surprised that youtuber like you have no clue how real estate investment actually works.
Yea Like I said to you Mike in the Email. The housing shortage was triggered by the pandemic with all the low rates. They got cash out and lowered their payment with 100k of cash in their pockets.....Most of them purchased Air b and B rentals and those houses are mostly vacant with a very low payment. Easily made with a occasional rental. Those houses would normally be occupied monthly but now they are empty. Housing shortage all happened within a few months. Then rents skyrocketed.
yes would like to see video about what you mentioned please. good idea, thx michael
That was a great video 👍👍👍
My neighbor sold her home and the best offer came from an investment firm but she chose to sell it to a military family instead so sellers don't have to sell to investors.
Good for her and good for that family.... unfortunately thats not the case down here in San Diego. In my condo complex, investors are offering 40K above asking price then "fixing them up" then charging 2700 rent for a 2bed 1.5 bath.

When i bought my home, most of the houses on my street were owner occupied. Thirty two years later, the vast majority are corporate owned rentals charging outrageous rents. I don't live in a trendy neighborhood. This is a working class neighborhood in a small city. People are now combining households to afford the rent.
Two of my 3 children own their homes. I am hoping the third will be able to at least purchase a condo in the next few years. If not - I may need to leave him my house in my will!😵💫. Arizona🌵is still outrageous & homes sell within days.
@@davisholman8149God bless you for actually thinking of leaving something for your offspring!
How do you know its corporate and not just mom and pop investors? If you look at your county or city GIS, you can google it like "County name" GIS and you will find a map with all the properties in the county or city and in many cases you can see the owner's name and you can see if it is a company or just a private mom and pop investor. In most cases for private homes it is just mom and pop investors, people who go around buying up homes to invest, I know many people who own multiple homes just small time investors there are millions of them. Corporate home buyers mostly look for leasing buildings, new developments and not old single family homes.
@@davisholman8149 I think it's because the girls are hot there. It always seems to boil down to that.
I seriously doubt that! Corporate buyers are not going to mess with single family homes - it is too inefficient for them to be profitable! They may buy apartment complexes but not single family homes!!!
fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals . Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
My CFA ’Melissa Terri Swayne’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Melissa’s profile appears to be fairly knowledgeable, therefore I must say that I value the advice. After locating her online, I thoroughly read through her resume, educational background, and qualifications, and I must say that they were quite impressive. We have set up a meeting after she replied to my message.

Facts
Never forget, a government big enough to give you anything you want is big enough to take everything you have.
💯
How small does a government have to be to not be able to take everything away from you? They would have to not exist. Government has a monopoly on violence and with that they control everything.
Ben Franklin or Tom Jefferson?
They tell everyone but nobody wants to listen or believe......All Gentiles on planet Earth are going to own nothing and be happy.....I'm not sure what part about owning nothing everyone doesn't seem to understand. Prices are going up so that nobody can own anything. Those that do own there is a plan for them to take what they own as well....
Also, government cannot give to one group without taking away from another
Investors buying up houses has ruined our neighborhood. Small or large investor doesn't matter. The renters of these properties are not interested in building up good neoghborhoods.
All real estate housing should be Owner Occupied by law.
Investors are scumbags and renters don't care about the properties.
They are God's Chosen People......Now you're saying you're Antisemetic?
@@marblox9300 You do realize if that happened than entire neighborhoods would become slums. Condos would be near non-existent because most people that live in in those in the major cities are sharing the unit with a roommate. The renter does not make enough to even keep up with maintenance. You area also locking people into where they live. Those people who live to move and experience new neighborhoods would not be able to do so. What about moving out of state? That would only be possible for the ultra rich. Your statement is based on your emotion and not very well thought out.

I try to avoid Airbnbs nowadays. Just as expensive as hotels, cleaning fees can but upwards of $500, and just not as nice as a hotel !

The damage is done. People need to accept what is going on. Everything has collapsed. People will find out the hard way
I haven't seen home prices going down much.
@@mrwilliamwonder That is why it is collapsing.
Bye bye empire and I feel fine!
Prices are not going to go down. People keep waiting, sorry folks; same thing happened 10 years ago, if prices do drop they will drop slightly and that’s when investors and cash buyers show up. I had money to buy many times but was always outbid when prices were low. I had to wait till no one wanted to buy to get my house.
@@LuisGonzalez-ui7ow that's why I will save until I'm ready to build my house with my own money and hands :).Half a million dollars for a cookie cutter 3 bedroom 2 bath house? No thanks
South Carolina addresses this by differing property tax rates. Investment and Second homes are mostly 3x more than owner occupied. I think that's sensible.
makes sense
Id like to see some studies on the results of this. Hopefully they arent just pushing the taxes onto the renters..
How in the hell are regular people who are trying to get ahead supposed to make money if that is the case?
They are.
In my town they had to put a limit on how many Airbnb’s there could be, because so many people were buying up the small affordable houses and using them as Airbnb.
But what is wrong with that? Puts someone in a home and keeps it occupied, less chance of vandalism, etc
@@danettewelborn5577 Doesn’t guarantee it’s occupied all the time, and a tourist can trash your house as easy as a stranger.

Short term renting like Airbnb isn’t good for the neighborhood.
Investors are scumbags and so are renters. Owner Occupied makes for a more stable neighborhood.
No, we have been trying to buy a couple of years now. My credit score is over 790 and my dti is under 40%. We go to look at a house for 205k. Well, an investor went and bid that property up to 285k. And a few months later it was on the rental market for $2600 per month. And this has happened time and time again. And due to frustration, we stopped looking for a year. And now we are back at 7.6% interest rates and it is still happening. And I never benefited from covid. I had a so-called essential job. I never stopped working once. I never collected the unemployment. And here I am being impacted the same as everyone else.
I feel your pain mate. Been in the market looking for a long time. Never ending bs.
@@1969bones69 I appreciate it. We even tried for a condo on the golf course. We lost there as well. It had an hoa, but we lost out to a guy that owns 50% of the units in that community.
Give it time. Investors are having a hard time renting homes and are lowering prices and still can't rent them out. Many investor homes will be up for sale before long.
Buy land and build your own home for 1/5 what contractors charge. Its NOT rocket science. Or go modular and have a SIP kit put up. Either way start small and keep it simple, you learn as you go and can add on mkre space later. Which is why modulR design is nice.
@@dsj9831That's true. They have to pay the higher taxes and insurance, too. And keeping a rental property up is also a lot more expensive since COVID. I think we'll see more rental properties for sale, in the near future.
Another factor what makes housing less affordable is, that all these Developers are tearing down the old condos and building massive high rises that nobody can afford.
What percent of America are you talking about.
0.00001%?
Someone can afford them or they wouldn't be building them. YOU are not everyone.
Yet they are being bought, being rented.
In this country condos are a luxury becasue the cost of build large buildings is expensive, if you want cheap housing it will have to be made out of wood as wood is the cheapest building product. 3 floors high apartment buildings are as cheap as it gets, after that comes townhomes or duplexes and then single family homes .... only after all of that come the cement and steel large condo and apartment towers, they are a luxury
Yes. I work with developers. It's very popular right now to build 'luxury' (pushes the price up) massive (300-800 units) 'build-to-rent' (asset). Many are not interested in building homes for ownership. Most only care about maximizing ROI's. If they could, they'd charge us rent for living in cardboard boxes. The only thing stopping them is the city and architectural institutions that regulate the standards.
I had a hair salon, started in 2003. I weathered the 2008 crisis. By the time I got to 2010 and I was up for a renewal they wanted $32 a sq foot. Yet down the road in a publix shopping center I could move for $20 a sq foot. I ended up moving to an already built out previous hair salon at $12 a sq foot. It was a win, win for many years.
I often wonder if it pays to jack up the rent and force out a good tenant, perhaps losing months of rental income in the process. Seems a bad bet all around.
Michael, my insurance agent said she could not reduce my homeowners insurance cost because a lot of insurance companies are not writing new policies for fire coverage and are increasing their rates by up to 50%. She said the same thing is going on with auto insurance. So, the collapse begins.
And it is small guys, please no more government intervention, don’t get involved in limiting what people do with their money and private property. Do want retired people to not be able to have a retirement by investing in our own communities? Don’t be stupid populist economics illiterates that caused this problem. There is a market that limits how much us so called “ greedy” landlord can charge and it is not getting anybody rich overnight- takes years and there is risk.

We need homes to be more affordable for the average person. Regulation is the only way to achieve that. Tell me another if you disagree.

I agree. Government intervention is rarely helpful, and usually makes things worse for everyone.. however, I also don't like the big Corps buying up a bunch of homes, so maybe taxing them extra would be a good thing.

Corporations buying residential real estate is Not the Problem...
It's just there is a single family real estate shortage..
The best one could ask of the government is to suspend buying of residential housing-- until, there is 15% surplus of homes overall..
Or they can only invest in new construction single family homes.
Also Republicans are opposed to any sort of government building of homes because they want to control the supply of single family homes..

Small investors is right. Michael property in our neighborhood. Sold By remax, real astate. for 219.000 to a flipper.

But the flipper doesn't care he's out of the area. He made his money.🤔
The fact about taxes going up for the other houses is not the fault of the investor is the politicians that with their greed they force their tax hike on the people but the taxes of the houses should not move from the same amount that the owner bought it for.

In Texas and I am all for not allowing a person to turn a residential neighborhood into a commercial endeavor.
Like I've said in the past about buying real estate: ban large investors, ban corporations, ban anyone who is not a citizen and does not live in the US for all 12 months, limit small investors to a max of 4 properties, and ban short term rentals (nobody signed up to live next to a hotel).
I agree with everything you said minus the “not a citizen”. I’m from Brazil and moving here with family when I was 10yrs old for the American dream. For a long time my family were permanent residents (my dad was sponsored by a company) before we became citizens. If you say citizens only then my parents wouldn’t have been able to buy the condo that I grew up in.
So again I agree with everything you said just please be kinder to some immigrants. I understand Chinese, Russians, Indians are buying up everything so I understand wanting to limit them but please don’t put everyone in the same bucket.
@@faerydae29 good point. Maybe change that to legal citizens who are here permanently and live in the US for 12 months and have proof of a job

Boring - and THAT is where you fail reality hard:
I own, mortgage free now, and since at least 2008 have had these concerns and thoughts on restricting ownership pretty much exactly as OC spelled out.
It is BLATANT where the problems not just currently lie, but have been building for a long time.
And quite a few safe homeowners are also aware and have the same views.
Oh, and OP is deflecting hardcore:
Those "small investors" with 15 etc owned ARE CORPORATIONS IN LAW 90% OF THE TIME. For tax purposes, to protect their personal finances/wealth, for legal buffer.

MAX - 2 Propeties. One permanent and one summer. Or if you want to rent your second but no more.

dont eliminate people from buying and renting. but force those buyers into commercial loans that are a variable rate loans and commercial insurance. and dont allow single family homes to be put into llc's or corporations.
DEFINITELY do an AirBnb video! I live in a lakefront area and WAY TOO MANY homes are going to one of these outfits (call it a HUGE mom & pop outfit). I'm not one for government intervention but with the deck stacked more and more against the little guy, something needs to be done. I say they should load them up with a ton of hotel style safety restrictions and tax the crap out of them to put a solid leash on the situation. Everybody wins (except the owners gouging everyone and ruining neighborhoods and blocking normal folks from buying the homes so yeah, "everybody" wins!).
I've been talking about this for years. My housing plan, the Affordable Housing Forever Act, bans small investors along with the big corporations.
In the metro Atlanta area, 19k homes are owned by 3 corporations. according to a segment on a local Atlanta news source. Its higher in Atlanta than anywhere else.
The rent is too damn high!
Property tax and insurance and repair costs are too damn high as well.
I've been looking for a decent house I could afford (paying in cash) since I retired in 2021.
After three years, I gave up and rented a nice house in a small town. I'm banking my cash in a high yield savings account.
I live in a small town in Kansas. 40% of the 1100 houses in town are rentals, owned by five individuals (actually their LLCs). They're "mom and pop" landlords, just as Michael said.
The house I'm renting would sell if it went on the market, but the owners bought it when houses were dirt cheap and they're making a huge profit by renting it.
The "mom and pop" investors I've talked to have all told me the same thing: when the housing market crashes, they're going to scoop up everything in sight.
This is the way.
All real estate housing should be Owner Occupied by law.
The smaller investors that only own a few properties and rent them are just as greedy as the corporate owners. No discount in rent no help with problems
no discount in maintenance, taxes, mortgage rates.
@@toddygallent7258 all that should be covered in the high rent
Agree.. the ones in my town are greedy as hell. Just a small handful of people own most of the rental houses.
What do you mean by "greedy?"
They have bills to pay too duh. I don’t get a discount on my taxes and insurance because I go cry about it. This is America. Where if you get off your ass you can be wealthy. My plan is to buy up property when it crashes to rent out because that’s how I plan on retiring. You can rely on social security or your 401k from your employer, but this is my route. And if I as an investor should be penalized, then you can penalized too for buying stock in a company in your 401k and charge you 10% an investor fee. Everyone wants to just complain when someone has more stuff than them. Go to North Korea where you all will be the same .
Throughout American history crime and political corruption has been an enormous problem adding an enormous cost to our standard of living. I'm hopeful that technology will finally bring it down to a acceptable level.
Yes, we need to put public funds on a block chain so everyone can see where the money is going. If they can do it for crypto, it should be done for many more things to keep people and corporations accountable.

HOA’s are the biggest nightmare most homeowners will ever have. I pray the courts intervene and eventually do away with HOA’s.
If people were considerate of their neighbors, HOA rules wouldn't be necessary. But, most people today think only of themselves.
I don't trust people who don't show me their eyes 😮😮😮
No fixing this in South Florida. The longer you wait if you can buy the more expensive it will be. This was my situation.
No fixing Florida
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Sir for covering this topic. The first question has been on my mind for a while now.
You still shock me by how you come up with new content every day.

Excellent video Michael; JUST DO IT❤…(keep telling the truth)…🙏☮️🇺🇸🇮🇹
I have title run reports in farm areas
Corporate is not the issue
I support small investors
Foreign investors buying and outbidding our first time home buyers I have a problem
Laws we should have to stop investors:
1. Investors cannot make an offer on a SFH until it’s been in the market for at least 6 months
2. Max you can own is 10 SFHs
3. Heavily tax investors
6 months are you cr@zy? Im a regular investor who has gone without for many years to afford to buy extra income producing property, and just because I can have self discipline and save, I should be penalized? What do you want North Korea? Where were all the same and no one can be wealthier than the person next to them? You can buy houses to rent out too, what’s stopping you? Prices? Then save more. Be disciplined. 😭
@@r.dennison5042 Invest somewhere else!! Nobody is stopping you from investing in COMMERCIAL RE, or company Stocks. You could also open a company and sell goods or services. But instead you choose to hurt the community by taking available inventory in the residential market. Cry me a river because we both know there’s many ways to gain wealth and traditionally this hasn’t been one of them. It’s new, so society will survive and be better off if you can’t buy several houses to rent out.
Also I Am Disciplined. I have 120k in savings and no debt, 799 credit score. I know I can buy one or several houses right now but I know they’re extremely overpriced, and buying multiple houses will put me in massive debt. I just want 1 reasonably priced house to buy and finish paying. Everyone deserves this!
@@r.dennison5042 We do save more, and then the prices increase or one of you boomer "investors" decides to outbid everyone and overpay for the homes, just so you can charge ridiculous amounts of rent.
So yes, you should be penalized. Cope harder.
@@carteranderson5907 lmao I’m not a boomer I graduated in 07 🙄 And you’re telling me to cope harder? Wah wah says the person who is complaining they can’t afford to buy a house so everyone else should pay for it. Reminds me of the Bernie spoof, “everyone’s got all this stuff, and I’m young, where’s my stuff!?!” Go move to France or Australia where home ownership is even more out of reach.
@@r.dennison5042 I will apologize for assuming you're a boomer. I don't for anything else. I am responsible and save my money, nor do I want or expect anyone to pay for my stuff. I stand behind @faerydae29 comment because there should be some limits on the amount of SFH's investors can own. If this still sounds like the DPRK to you, you should research them a little bit more.
Singapore's solution to housing is the government builds homes and sells them to people below market rate. So residents own the property instead of renting government apartments in the United States. Their home ownership rate is about 88%.
Singapore is one of the most expensive places in the world to live. No normal person owns a home or a car in Singapore.
@@gsftom The government builds housing there and sells it to residents below market prices. They also build public transportation, schools, space for shops, hospitals in village centers. So you don't need a car. Cars are taxed at $100K, not including the cost of the car as oil has to be imported. My wife bought a place there back in 2018 though I haven't seen it yet. The government agency that runs housing there is Housing Development Board; my sister-in-law worked there for most of her working years. They also have universal healthcare. My wife pays about $500/year for health insurance though she's also on Medicare in the United States.
Singapore also has the top math scores in the world...
@@WhyteHorse2023 That's the TIMSS testing run out of Boston College. Massachusetts comes pretty close to the top countries for math and science scores. Singapore Math books are used in many school districts in the US and many homes too. We used it with our kids a long time ago.
Move to Singapore if you like it so much.
I’m currently seeing investment companies offloading … two currently active within a mile of my house.
Foreigners with cash is who I see buying properties up as investments
This has been going on for a long time but it’s growing to smaller towns and vacation homes
It's sad. Foreigners are devouring our housing market with their petty speculation schemes. It's not even their country! Obviously our government doesn't care about its citizens.
95 percent of people live beyond their means. They want evrything that’s worthless and they will spend all of their “hard earned dollars” on door dash and nights out at the bar rather then saving, focusing and buying themselves a home. Then they want to cry poor me the rich guy sucks.
That landlord that saved, made the smart decisions deserves to be rewarded monthly with the small profits they make ontop of covering the bills
Hey, Thanks for this.
You give a better perspective than any other news organization.
You have a great ability to give a full picture of all of what's going on.
I and my wife own single home family rentals. we have $200,000 left on mortgages. We are now the possibility of maintaining $70,000 annual income by selling and investing in stocks and bonds. How does this work out?
"if they can make a profit renting it out, it must be cheaper to buy"
This doesn't really track unless you assume everyone buys on mortgage loans.
A corporation can pay for a house in cash in full, and even if that cash happens to backed by an loan ultimately, its going to be a large loan with a much better rate.
Plus a corporation is in it for the long haul. They don't need to make a profit this year, or the next year, or even the next 5 years. They might even _want_ to not make a profit.
Tax wise!
All real estate housing should be Owner Occupied by law.
Yes AIRBNB PROBLEMS
You’re right, it’s not Wall Street, it’s foreign investors, North America is a great way to increase your wealth and keep your money safe, that’s why the housing market has always increased in value
I wish everyone could stop renting.
Huh i guess you never want to invest. Your loss.
Dream on,,,not everyone can qualify for the amount of house they want to live in.
I wish the government would be a better steward of our tax dollar... but we both can dream.
Renting a house is by far cheaper than owning a house.
Ask the government to make it illegal to rent a place to live, problem solved.
Some people want to rent, are only planning to be working in the area for a short time, or simply can't afford to make the down payment on a home. Rentals are good, because they give people choices. But, I wish landlords were required to keep the properties nice and would be required to kick out renters that are too disruptive to the neighbors.
If I'm remembering correctly over in Albuquerque people were complaining about BlackRock buying up whole communities far as mobile home parks and they were being not offered extended contracts to move their trailers out of them
I think most all trailer parks are corporate owned now. Well, i guess theres still a few one owner parks around. My sister lives in one in denver..her rent is 350. But I know of at least 4 other people in corporate parks, and their rent is over 1100. 1100 for trailer park rent! They know how difficult and expensive it is to move a mobile home, I think, and are taking advantage of that.
I think those corporate buyers are hoping people abandon those mobile homes and then they rent them out.
Yes Michael, do a video on short term rentals. It should be very informative.
I was saying this at the start of 2022 that we are entering a class division era between the halves and have nots. There are now hundreds of thousands of people in the US with multiple pieces of property and multiple streams of income and then there are the people with no assists and the little money they do make gets inflation away.
In the midst of today's housing market surge, driven by low mortgage rates and limited housing availability, intense competition and higher prices are now typical. The pandemic has also played a role, as people desire larger and more revitalizing living spaces, fueling strong demand. However, experts foresee a possible slowdown as mortgage rates increase and government foreclosure protections come to an end. Despite this, the market remains vibrant, presenting hopeful opportunities for buyers and sellers alike.
Something I've learned from my first bear market:
You don't have to outperform, just survive. If you can survive and let your competitors blow up you'll be the only one left and in a better position than before.
Building a good financial-portfolio is more complex so I would recommend vou seek professional support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long-term goals and financial dreams.
Glad to have stumbled on this conversation. Please can you leave the info of your investment-advisor here? I'm in dire need for one.
Jennafer Beaver Turner is the licensed expert I use. Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
thank you for sharing your insights Your point was incredibly useful and has provided me with valuable perspective on the matter, i will make my research.
It's not about who's buying up most of the houses. It's about the growth of the blue-shaded area in the last five years on that sales chart. Thank you for your videos. Always thought provoking. Commercial office space will be dying as long as everyone's goal is to have an office just like yours.
Welcome to Palm Coast, Michael. My wife and I moved here in 2022. We bought new so we have no issues with the build as a few items have been addressed under warranty. Not the most action packed community but my wife and I love it here. Way too many AirB&Bs here. We also have a decent sized “Snow Bird” population here. I hope you had a good visit.
Hey Michael, your videos are really helpful in so many ways. They'll help people make important life decisions. I just watched a 20 minute video and wonder, where the heck are people. The neighborhoods seem dead, empty void of people outside.
Most of the owners where he films are in God's waiting room.
You're forgetting how people afford houses in Florida and I've lived here for 45 years. They buy a house and have 15 of their family members or friends live in it. I can't believe how many cars are parked all over the lawn.
Sounds horrible.
This is happening everywhere
I've heard about angry renters making it hard on landlords by pouring concrete down the drains and washouts
How does that help the renters to cut off their sewage and water lines?
A national look at corporate home buying does nothing to define the problem. It is market specific. In some metros corporate ownership is much more concentrated
Thank you Michael. Always appreciate you're analysis and views.
Whenever government interferes in the free market bad things happen. Rental properties are still available housing. Buying property creates more demand to build new housing. The market is self correcting, just leave it alone.
There is no free market when a private central bank controls a fiat currency.
I have bought and sold properties in Florida for the past several years. Not to rent them but to flip them. I would put in new windows and floors and maybe a little paint. Have always made good profit. I don’t want to deal with bad renters. I kept one unit to rent out to snowbirds during the Winter. Usually have the same renters every year. Having done this I paid off my home and am debt free.
Damn, same here. I buy shit holes and turn them into smart homes in pasco. Good for you and good luck. I need to get into rentals
@@smsavis Thanks, right back at ya. I watch this guy but don’t always agree with what he is spitting out at times. Some good but also a lot of doom n gloom.👋🏽
Well then you're part of the problem
@@koolkitties8552 Problem solved!
Not sure if this is a regional issue, but the area I used to live in in AZ had a ton of flipping going on and they all looked the same. Gray, gray, gray and “luxurious” laminate (that’s linoleum). I wouldn’t want to buy one cause I would spend so much money repainting all that gray and buying tons of rugs for those floors. Gray? Is that a thing?
I'm an early 30s man who grew up not poor but lower middle class. I did not learn financially litterecy because my parents didn't know. Real estate investing was wha at pulled my family from barely getting by to having sizeable breathing room. It is one of the last bastions for the average person to make it in this country. I don't believe in taking that away from the everyday person.
While Wall St. investors own a small percentage of homes, in some markets they own a high percentage of homes, thus distorting the local market. More efficient for them to own a cluster of homes vs. dispersed homes.
People on fixed incomes need to be told far and wide that they CAN buy. We did, got out from under high rent and into a much LOWER mortgage that we've been overpaying the principal on ever since our first mortgage payment was due. Moved in ZERO money down NON VA. CAN buy through a USDA Loan which covers areas of like 30-35k populations on less. USDA WILL cover acreage, they WILL cover manufactured homes, they WILL cover delivery AND set up. We bought an already built house on a small lot ( much easier to mow in hot summers) , we get the tax write offs, we get the homestead exemptions. Also Vets with 100% disabilities ARE tax exempt, Current military ARE tax exempt. Once people reach a certain age they ARE tax exempt.
Also raised our deductibles and got a lower rate when what they wanted without raising them. My homeowner's only increased $12 a month instead of over 100 a month. ALSO when they assess every 4 years, they go off sale price NOT appreciation.
Thank you! 💎
YEP, NO reason people are NOT buying, but have no problem lining someone else's pocket with their hard earned money
@@nunya2954 Yep, there's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo many programs out there to be able to buy now.
I’m in my 20s but have thought about USDA, is it truly no money down? I want to put some money down on a house I’m just wondering how it works. I thought with closing costs and stuff you’d still need to have thousands to put towards it. I’ve been thinking about a USDA loan for a manufactured home to be built.
@@winniethepoohandeeyore2 I know, but people believe or listen to shills that just regurgitate what everyone else says. Not to mention interest if you itemize, it is a big help. you don't get this with renting. Also, I have homeowner insurance, not for long as my home is almost paid off, but I got a lot of "optional coverages" taken off they put on w/out asking, so I got on the phone and had it all removed before my renewal date on 5/8/24 - to the tune of $800.00, people FAIL to read their homeowner policies. Also a lot of these folks w/super high taxes are NOT homesteaded in Florida, making their taxes go way up. But folks don't "see" that either, they are too busy listening to nonsense. To make it, you have to get out from in front of the TV and read and research.
Since 2011 I would see Miami-Ft Lauderdale condo/homes advertised in NYC along the office front of realestate offices. I moved down here from NYC to buy my dream home in 2022, all of my neighbors moved here from over seas and other states. The average home in our community here in Weston-Ft Lauderdale (18 minutes to Miami) is $1.8million. We all know that Floridians can’t afford to live here bc they don’t get paid enough to qualify. My mom has been here since 1989-and she is Godsmack by the changes here in S.FL.
Imagine I'm from here lol

I bought my house in Port Saint Lucie, FL in 2012 when the market was in the toilet....$95,000 cash....Turn key move in condition....If it drops again you will be able to buy houses in a No HOA neighborhood for under $200,000....I may buy one and put a tenant in it....
Hi Michael, talk about the excess of housing available in Cape Coral
Homes are meant for families not corporations.
Yes to an Airbnb video!
I retired 5ys ago after being a Realtor for 40 years in a city in Iowa. I don't know of any homes that are owned by large corporations in my city.
...I don't know a city in Iowa that is in the top 20 metro either.
I lived in government housing for 40 years, and I dont known of anyone in my neighborhood owning a Lamborghini.
So Lamborghini aren't real.
@@hvaball150
I’ve been asking the realtors I know
The only corporate owned rental housing in my area are the apartment complexes, new high end condos, and company owned homes for their employees and clients.
HOA: I don't know any either, but 15 years ago they were all senior citizens who couldnt even walk without a cane.
Neighborhood Watch were in their 80s. They had a little old man about 90, patrolling 🚓 the neighborhood. Didn't even use a cell phone. It was a complete joke.
Today, it's the same. All sitting in a circle at ones house in the driveway.
corporations aren't buying in small cities that nobody goes to lol
@@jrighteous1984 Correct. Only in the places where the hype is believed.
States should tax 10% more if a house is a investment property or the owner don't live in the house. I know a guy who owns 3 houses in TX, 2 in VA and 1 in FL. Insane. This is why renting and buying is a very hard reach for average families.

@@marblox9300 are you proposing all of the apartments or homes to be sold to tenants? What if the tenant doesn’t have the money? You want to increase their debt?

Instead of focusing on the number of homes an investor can own, the focus should be on the tax advantages of owning investment property. Reduce these and the number of investment properties will be reduced.
All real estate housing should be Owner Occupied by law.
I love HOA rules! My last home was in a non HOA neighborhood and my next door Latino neighbor decided to raise his own food and built a chicken wire chicken pen on our property line.
The best way to solve this would be for counties to hike property taxes and for the federal government to increase income tax breaks on only primary residences. Then both small and large investors buying properties would face higher taxes while individuals living in their homes would not take a hit.
Investors would pivot to investments other than houses like stocks and bonds, and housing prices would decline.
