Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
I thoroughly recommend Margaret Johnson Arndt, an investment advisor who is subject to US SEC regulation. She has assisted me with my portfolio for many years. Look her up online; she's a well-known figure.
thank you for this tip , I must say, Margaret appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her online page, I thoroughly went through her resume, and I must say, it was quite impressive. I reached out to her, and I have booked a session with her.

It's more like house hoarding by the sociopaths. Ignoring it's a residential neighborhood and putting in a commercial hotel. They are zoned single family homes to OWN. They are not zoned commercial property. Why is not illegal to rent a single family home. The single family listed on the deed be the family living on the property. As in zoned one family to own a home. Zoned single family homes. Just like our government is not policing the ponzi scheme cryptocurrencies and the stockmarket. Some how my sister got fired from her job just for watching another employee steal. Our government is turning a blind eye to white-collar crime. All the criminals are a nod and a wink in trillions in defict spending. Their financial manager is insider trading and the blue-collar workers financial manager is debt management. The go to college to get a higher paying white-collar job turns into white-collar crime. As if being a sociopath doing bad math at the bank and calling residential property commercial property is normal and not criminal.
There are enough homes for about 1 for every 2.3 people in the US. That is just single family homes, not apartments or split unit homes. The problem is not a shortage. The problem is these homes are built for residents and are bought by corporations. Corporate entities and investment firms should be banned from buying residential homes. They are manipulating the market and cashing in. There should also be limits on how many homes a person can own as well.
@ninadaly7639 they use an algorithm to rent control all of them so there is no competition. High rent high profits pure greed. Regular people have no chance in the future.
I’m in Florida and it should e way higher. We have people with full time jobs living in homeless shelters in Florida. I’m a property manager and I’ve seen people just cry because there’s really no where to go. But don’t worry, the state stepped in and gave $600.000 to the millionaire community I was managing. The money was to dredge their sand. They put in their newsletter where it just said good news. That would be life changing for the rest of us. So make no mistake that millionaires are living in government subsidized housing. I bet none of them think that. They probably think they deserved it.
Before Airbnb, I remember that having a bed and breakfast business in Wisconsin required the owner to live on site in order to qualify for the business designation. There was no buying a house and renting it like a motel in a residential neighborhood. I'm sure not all states have that law but if so airbnb seems to have found a loophole. It's crazy to have homes in a neighborhood with either a constant stream of strangers or sitting vacant.
I think we should ban businesses, corporations, and foreign investors from buying single family homes and impose tax penalties or fines on landlords with a property or properties that are vacant for more than 12 months.
@@hostilepancakes Welcome to feudalism without the "neo" part. Will you be on Gates' manor, or Soros', or Claus'? Whichever, you’ll be eating bugs, will own nothing & be happy about it, so lord Claus assures us.
Why is no one talking about wage stagnation? Affording a house wouldn't be so bad if people weren't making less, wages haven't been keeping up with inflation for 50 years (since Reagan). And tax vacant housing, that's a proper luxury tax. And oversight on zoning, prevent crooked/stupid city permits for over-priced condos and luxury apartments from being thrown-up left and right without thought to what is actually needed, existing building limitations (new condos that are ridiculously taller than anything else in the area), and local parking constraints.
I will never rent at Airbnb again. The greed by these homeowners is insane. The cleaning fees alone are enough to walk away. Vacations are meant to be relaxing, not work.
How much do you pay a cleaning person to clean your house or apt? Do they wash your sheets and towels, clean the inside of your refrigerator, clean your BBQ, make your bed? Compare the price you are quoted and then apply it to the sqft and amenities of the AirBnB you were at. I think you should do the research before you complain about the prices? Maybe you sre correct and they were way off, or maybe you are just unfamiliar with today's cleaning prices.
I relied on Airbnb when I moved across the country for a new job. Lived in three different units until I was able to get an apartment, and I will say Airbnb is great for transplants.

we need big money/companies to not be able to buy single-family homes. Honestly, there should be regulation over this, its just disgusting.

This is actually good news. AirBNB and venture capitalists have tied up too much housing, driving up the cost of rents and home ownership to ridiculous rates. It's a very necessary market correction.
In Kimberling City, MO on Table Rock Lake, several companies mowed down the forest atop two large hills overlooking the lake to build ultra expensive vacation rentals. Most of them average several thousands of dollars per week to rent. And they all just sit completely none of them ever being used.

I disagree with this completely. They see it as a less liquid asset that holds its value. They will not sell these houses any lower than they invested. The reason why is that they have so much power they can construct cheap crap intro homes then in 30 years high interest mortgages, and make a bunch of money off from, then sell these houses to those intro home owners and make substantially more than they make selling it right now. These guys are playing 30-year games because they have the capital to keep them a flow for those kind of durations of time. You're thinking about these things like a poor person because most of us are poor people. It's a whole different game for them. I don't even want to get into how they're going to manipulate the banking system in order to roll up the remainder of the 30-year mortgages that they're taking out on the shit homes to move into these other homes and give them an insane variable rate when they do it. You know maybe they're at 6% on the 30-year and it's a fixed mortgage but you know this investment firm will work with this bank that gives them a loan that buys off the remainder of their previous loan at 6% or maybe even 3% then rolls up the remainder piles it on top of the price of the new home then they charge them a variable rate with a sweetheart introduction deal of 2% so people don't think and then 5 years later it jumps up to 14% and they rape them to death financially. Because that's America. That's how America works. Set off some fireworks celebrate this shit show because America!
Need to enforce zoning Airbnb are commercial Also if anyone owns more than 1 single family house and can't prove the other houses are used by family they need to be taxed higher
I agree the system has many flaws. But have you thought about how good we, the children of the empire, have it living here? It would not be such a comfy life for many if the system collapsed. We have to appreciate some things about the system are not so bad.

This is an example of how capitalism doesn’t always work. There’s more profit to construct an expensive vacation house than a starter house. We need more incentives to construct starter homes.
No, there isn't. I, as a capitalist, WANT to build affordable homes. It diversifies my portfolio and it meets a demand. But Mr Big Government has made building new homes like getting blood from a stone, because existing real estate developers and property-owning politicians, like it when their portfolio's go up in value because the demand is exceeding the supply and so they pass endless numbers of laws and regulations that makes building more homes almost impossible or a down-right money-pit, so no one wants to do it. It's not the "capitalist", it's the government.
Why starter. Nah. Homesteading generational housing. Enough if this endless migration bullshit it's part of what caused this issue in the first place. The home is treated as a marketable investment first instead of a home. People plan on selling houses after a few year which incentivises NIMBYism and trying tactics to keep "undesirables" from bringing the market down because they are trying to get max profit. This also creates insensitive to buy several properties with the express purpose of selling instead of living
There not constructing homes that's the problem.They're buying existing properties, out bidding all others, holding on to property and then push the price up and sell.Your vulture funds have ruined the market in ireland.We can't even keep our young here, because they've nowhere for them to live.We're bleeding skilled people, nurses,doctors and tradesmen.

That is the nature of private property though, isn’t it? The rich are not responsible for the poor in a free market system. You would rather no one “owns” anything except the government?
The problem is not a shortage of housing it's the prices. I work construction, we build homes all the time. It's just nothing that normal people can afford
Let's be clear... There is NO shortage of homes, they just are not affordable for those in need of homes. When will the government address that, instead of lining their pockets? Wow! American Greed at it's best. SMH
That's not entirely true. There is a shortage of actual *livable* housing which is compounded by a shortage of affordable housing. There are some misleading stats going around saying there is something like 5 empty homes for every homeless person or whatever it is but that number includes ALL housing that was vacant even if it was only empty for a day or two. It also counts housing that is condemned or abandoned and not livable. This is an important distinction because a lack of housing for the middle class and wealthy puts strain on housing for average working class people who have much tighter budgets. When those with a bigger budget cannot find a place to live that is within their financial bracket they are forced to "rent down", and that means less housing for those who actually need those cheaper places. Those with more money will always be able to get a house or apartment above those with less money, because it's easier for them to get lower cost loans or to impress a landlord to choose them as tenants over a more modest income family. I live in an area where this is a major issue. A lack of more "upper class" housing options means that the wealthy will overbid on houses just to get them in a hot market, massively inflating housing prices. Housing prices here have more than doubled in less than 10 years and I know people who have thrown money at a house to get it because they knew someone else would outbid them if they didn't make an offer with tens of thousands more above asking price. When they rent they get apartments easier because the landlord obviously would prefer to rent to someone who makes plenty of money than someone who might be paycheck to paycheck. Those of us who don't have a lot of cash to throw around are being squeezed out.
1. In my market, burned out Air BnB owners are converting them to long term rentals, not putting them up for sale. This has a positive impact on the rental market but does not impact home prices. 2. Ana says that policy makers should demand the construction of starter homes. In my market, starter homes are not built because the contractors would go out of business. The base costs are almost the same for a starter home (land, permits, etc) as a large home. In order to change that, there will need to be incentives for building affordable housing.
Airbnb should have been made illegal, or at least full time Airbnb properties should have been made illegal. If a couple has their basement open for visitors, fine. But buying a property for the sole purpose of renting it out for Airbnb has destroyed the housing market and the communities they're located in.
There is also a huge issue of hedge funds purchasing homes, holding them empty, then at the right time selling them for astronomical prices that keep many people out of the housing market.
Let’s address the issue of institutional investors who buy up a bunch of homes just to rent them out. We purchased in a nearby state after renting in California for the past 9 years, but we soon realized a lot of homes were all bought up to be rented by companies like Mynd Project and American Homes 4 Rent AH4R (so you’ll never build any generational wealth for your family).
That doesn’t change the numbers in this story. The numbers she’s showing includes rental units. Renting is worse then a purchase but these rental companies aren’t causing the shortage by shifting the number of available units. But they are raising prices which is hurting the market in that way. But if they sold their properties to families that would do almost nothing. We just have to build more multi family homes.
@@illsaveus there are about 141.58 million single family homes in the US. Thats one for every 2.33 people. That doesn't count apartments or split units. We have plenty of housing. The problem is the investor class is buying them up and leaving them empty to drive up the market. Apartment owners are doing the same thing. They leave units that need work empty and raise everyone else's rent to make up the difference. Housing shouldn't be commodified. We at least need to ban corporate entities and investment firms from buying residential housing. We should also limit how many houses a person should own.
We need legislation to make this illegal. This should be the number one thing news stations are covering. Something needs to be done about these insane rent prices
Black Rock buying up thousands of starter Homes need to be outlawed along with people owning more than 2 properties. We can't continue to be a renters nation.
AirBnB is absolutely a problem. I stayed at an AirBnB once with some friends…. It ended up being more expensive than a hotel, we had to pay a cleaning fee, plus we had to clean the house (we were not a messy group). On top of that, the rental was below a party house, so sleep was not a thing…. After that, I will never use AirBnB again. This is also a problem for them, as I’ve heard of experiences like mine. The other issue, at least in the SF Bay Area, is many home have been purchased by foreigners. These units remain empty, because with the rate of increase in price of homes, they make enough money just letting the place sit. A friend of mine manages a mixed use building in San Francisco. There are several units in his building that were purchased and never moved into. Years later the unit remains empty.
I feel like your 2nd home should have a high property tax placed on it, making even renting less profitable. After 3 or more homes they should be aggressively taxed. No companies should be able to own single family homes.

I've despised AirBnB since its beginning. I never thaought it was a good idea in general, and that it would inevitably cause long term trouble. Sure enough. It did.
Affordable housing, as currently practiced, is a joke. In my hometown, the local factory complains that they can't get enough workers because they can't find apartments or houses to rent/buy. They built 'affordable rental units.' However, the local factory's wages put their 'affordable units' out of the reach of any workers who were single parents who needed at least a two bedroom unit and child care. My husband worked at the factory and we figured out how much of a raise he would need to actually afford the rent on a two-bedroom apartment while having enough money left over to actually have a life, and it was at least $2 more than he already made, and that didn't factor in child care. So, affordable housing needs to actually be affordable by the lowest common denominator as well as the higher common denominators.
We have PLENTY of empty houses/apartments that can house people, the only problem is that we are making people pay for a basic need AKA shelter. Start letting people stay in those empty places instead of price gouging.
You’re joking right? Those are privately owned buildings. You want to just LET people squat there? They can’t. The liability to the owner, utility issues, code compliance issues, wear and tear on the buildings all prevent it.

That's just idiotic to say someone is "guilty" because they used AIRBNB service and found out it was criminal. That is like saying someone took their car to a repair shop for repair and instead parts were stolen from their vehicle and the customer is now "guilty" customers for going to get their car repaired. After they learn about the horrible business practices and never go back they are showing their dissatisfaction by no patronage of that business. People who blame paying customers for suffering through criminal business activity and never going back to that business are being very foolish for blaming the customers💯💯💯
Zoning is I feel the most important problem in the USA, allowing mostly the build of either standalone family homes or high rise apartment building. The high density mid rise buildings and environment are hard to find, and hard to build again because of too strict zoning laws. Other MAJOR problem is the addiction to cars and car infrastructure. Cities in the USA are mostly high rise combined with large car parks. If you would improve public transport, bike infrastructure and walkability, you could build on the car parks and increase density in cities.
That's a separate issue which has nothing to do with being ale to find housing you can afford. We're probably not going to do anything about that for a while, either, since the handful of places that want to- like Cleveland, OH, with their 15 minute city plan- already have conservatives batching that it's a liberal plot to eventually make it illegal to ever be more than 15 minutes away from your place of residence ever again.
Ana, I've worked as an architectural draftsperson my whole life. I worked on a 650 million $ non profit development for first-time homebuyers. Your analysis is nothing short of brilliant. What you did not bring into this excellent analysis is the encroachment of private investment firms into local markets. There was a time when real-estate investors lived on your block. Now, they live in Abu Dabi or Canada. There is no sense of connection to the communities they buy.
As a Millennial, the best chance I have at moving out of my parent’s house for good is for full societal collapse to run its course, and then scavenge a home off of someone whose biggest concern was stocking up on toilet paper.
As we boomer generation pass on we will leave a huge pile of sh- behind, including our houses. You will see a massive housing glut in your lifetime. Might take another 20 years but you will also see how fast 20 years goes by,
Airbnb has a negative impact on housing even in Germany, espeacially Berlin. There is a shortage of effordable homes here as well and it is clear that this company's business concept took a lot of objects from the market.
I live in the Denver metro. Our mountain towns are in severe crisis due to most rentals being short term. Businesses are closing due to workers not finding housing… it just really sucks.
If affordable housing is constructed, we need regulations to prevent the uber wealthy from buying them up, and renting them; turning new affordable neighborhoods into apartment complexes, basically.
Exactly! That was another issue where all these renting companies buying up house to only turn around and rent them out. I don’t wanna rent anymore, I wanna be able to own a house!
@@ninadaly7639 Since I grew up In the projects, I think I know what they are. I also know that builders can build real homes the average income earner has a better chance of affording, if they choose to do so and/or are incentivized to. I guess you are one of those unimaginative folks who assumes there is no hope or possible solutions for normal income earners or just someone who wants to whine. Glad you aren’t the one responsible for building them… smart ass. There are literally thousands of examples of this very concept happening all across the country, but you are in the comments with your negativity and helplessness. Sad.
@@ninadaly7639 “The projects” are the result specifically of the US government. Other cities, like Vienna and Singapore, seem to be able to avoid those outcomes. Maybe because they build housing for people of all incomes, and not just the poorest citizens?
My 26 year old son and his 2 cats just moved in to my tiny 2 bedroom apartment. Theres 3 of us and 4 cats. About to lose my mind. All there is: overpriced crappy apartments or insanely priced luxury apartments. No middle.
Just looked at a 1 bedroom apartment the other day. Almost $1800 for a cookie cutter "luxury" apartment. Absolutely ridiculous. There was nothing luxury about it. It was just a standard apartment with standard appliances. I guess it was considered luxury because it wasn't a run-down delapidated hellhole.
@@Ryan-mb6oj We do need to avoid a wage price spiral but that has nothing to do with giving money to other countries unless you are calling for using that money to fund low income housing which somehow I do not think that is what you are saying.
@@Ryan-mb6oj When women entered the workplace during and after WWII the price of everything doubled. Inflation is baked into the system. Working harder didn't get Americans ahead. It merely lessened the value of their labor.
It's the big businesses that buy up all the houses and rent them out at outrageous price and reselling the houses at outrageous prices too. It's another 2008 housing market scenario. Artificial demand and price gouging.

As long as the govt allows corporations to buy homes in bulk quantities this problem won’t be solved. Zillow is one of those corporations buying homes left and right in the pandemic and re-listing them for 25% more. Also, just like college credits work; if you didn’t live in the state there should be an upchage (this is to protect the current resident buying power).
The Italians are considering laws cracking down on all rentals of 30 days or less. I am torn - I understand that an Airbnb is about the only way the non-wealthy can get in on passive income. But absentee landlords and big companies buying up everything is awful.
@@linusa2996 yes, there are some 6000 abandoned towns. The problem with them is that they are very hard to live in without major investment. Some were destroyed by earthquakes and mudslides, so even the buildings still standing can’t be trusted. Many are in super mountainous areas where running a train is effectively impossible, and even maintaining roads for modern delivery is expensive. Many simply have thousand year old everything and just wore out, or have been hit by the increasingly undependable weather trends - drought that kills the roots holding soil together, followed by raging storms that wash mountainsides away. Then there is the modern desire to not have to work your body to the bone to survive - kids want a modern life. Plus, the uberwealthy fuck things up here like they do everywhere - billions for yachts and artwork, but nothing for infrastructure that doesn’t profit them and them alone. There are a few towns being revitalized by some artists with funding, and they are cool, but it’s only a few.
Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.
how credulous. the people from zillow were buying up the homes and then raising their valuation during the pandemic and then reselling them for a huge mark up. But sure, the same company who did that really gaf about affordable housing.
There are a ton of abandoned houses in the small Massachusetts town I live in. I majored in stem can't afford to rent anywhere. This whole crisis is by design to benefit older generations at the expense of literally everyone else.
In our touristy little town, Airbnb can only be a room in your home. No short term rental of homes. Half of our town would have been Airbnb without such regulations. Even so, there is almost no rentals available of any size, homes or apartments.

*Landlords shouldn't force their bills on tenants with bogus fees. Just an honest monthly fee, a small down payment. That is all tenants should be responsible to pay to rent an apartment.* *Bogus fees like, charging each family member $30 to apply toward the applications fees* *Bogus, 3 months rent, current rent and down payment. WHAT THE HELL??? We can hardly afford a current month rent. HOW DO WE PAY 3 MONTHS PLUS CURRENT MONTH???* *Landlords are getting too greedy*
This is a horrible take. The application fees are because they have to run background checks on the applicants. This costs money and is not free. You don’t see 3 months rent as often. It’s typically is the down payment, first, and last months rent. The down payment is because tenants often do damage to the rental since they don’t own the property. The first month rent is literally for the first month rent. Last month rent is if the tenant fails to pay rent and needs to be evicted. Evictions in California for example can sometimes take months. If the tenant doesn’t damage the rental then they get their deposit back and are simply paying for a place to live. This is very reasonable. If anything, the government needs to make more policies to improve the supply of homes. If there is a lot more supply, then home prices and rents will go down. Simple economics.
Tenants shouldn't force their financial irresponsibility's on landlords. I happen to be a landlord, I no longer interact with tenants and instead have my house in a transitional housing program where people fleeing family violence and the like get a few months breathing room while they find a long term solution. Prior to being in this program I charged 80% of market rent, with 2 weeks rent as a security deposit. During the 3 years I did that I cycled through 7 tenants, EVERY SINGLE ONE left the property damaged and uninhabitable, EVERY SINGLE ONE, failed to pay rent. And on top of that not a single one actually "cancelled" the rental agreement, they just moved out after not paying rent for a period of time. I lost almost an entire year worth of rental income just repairing the property after walls were broken down, windows were smashed. Doors had been kicked in, grafitti on the walls, burned carpets and curtains. And to top it all off a methamphetamine pollution that required professional cleaning to meet standards again. And while not receiving rent, the tenant is literally showing off their newly bought car that they got on finance. Having a large Christmas party while I am not celebrating Christmas since the rent didn't come in for the last 3 weeks, and I have to pay that mortgage and the insurance on that property. It is quite something having to explain to your 7 year old son that there won't be presents this year because the assholes next year are partying it up and not paying their rent so we can't celebrate our holiday. Stop behaving like and asshole dumping all the issues on landlords, the problem is with the tenants, all those fees and deposits? They are there so the landlord has some shot at keeping shit afloat when the tenant shirks on his responsibilities.
*@joshuacornwell6726 restrictions to landlords renting is one solution to high rent. If, tenants do damage take it up with that tenant and go to court for damages. Don't put it on all tenants and raise rent. What's the reason for raising rent every year? This is what I am talking about and those fees should go, too.*
You read the data wrong. There is both a shortage, and an affordability problem. The total 4+ million living unit shortfall is where we are **if** all of the empty units were occupied. As it stands, we effectively have about 15-16 million fewer living units than are needed.
@@ElenaAideen you’re looking at comparable prices to income, the shortfall is conflated with overpriced assets that are the issue . There’s plenty of homes that an ordinary income wouldn’t be able to afford, so in short prices aren’t keeping up with the affordability comparison to income
The zero regulation on the fees charged is ridiculous. We found dust on the counter so we charged you 1500 in cleaning fees. Plus we charged our 150 early booking fee and a 100 convenience fee.
I'm an urban planner in Iowa and our state government literally has made it illegal for cities like mine to regulate Airbnbs and other short term rentals. We are required to treat them no differently than any other residential land use and cannot enact any special permitting requirements. A lot of local planners and policymakers understand the strain that short term rentals are placing on the housing market, but bad state level leadership is getting in the way in some places.
We need to stop talking about tax incentives and start talking about tax disincentives. Local governments could almost immediately fix the housing crisis by applying heavy taxes every month for vacant units.

That, and these companies only build luxury housing. Working in Sacramento, I met a guy who moved up from LA, and he told me he ended up having to move because of costs. Homes there were being built in his relatively average neighborhood, but everything being built was luxury single family homes youd need at least six figures to even look at.
Meanwhile .. I just saw a report of buildings made for business in New York are standing empty of tons of office space created by developers. Even in my own country you can see how many empty large buildings created for businesses. There is not a "crisis" ... it's all poor planning and dumb investments
There's no such thing as a seasonal home. Unless it somehow gets torn down and rebuilt every year. We need some serious taxes on real estate profits to ward off the speculators and investors that just want to drive up prices for increased profits at the expense of exacerbating a homelessness crisis.
The housing prices in the Phoenix metro area has been crazy for several years, corporations and vulture investors have been buying houses and paying over-market prices in cash making it impossible for average working people to buy a house, and along with that rent prices have skyrocketed. In my neighborhood I've seen prices go from the mid 30's for a very modest 2 or 3 bedroom house, up now to around 350k for the same houses. meanwhile, wages have not increased at the same rates and hard working average people are struggling to find housing. It's a mess, caused by greed.
Totally agree but if completely kill the business of renting homes to people that cant qualify/afford to buy we will have a huge deficit of apartments AND people that want to raise a family in a rental home lose the ability, no, as flawed as the system is that horse left the barn when homes STOPPED being a place to live and or raise a family in and transformed into an INVESTMENT which drew the vultures like Blackrock into our local home markets and THAT screwed the 1st time buyers.
There are over 30,000+ local jurisdictions with separate zoning laws in the USA. But ONE Wall Street hedge fund can outsmart them all by buying up 30,000 "residential houses" and turning them into a "commercial" enterprise with zero interference from local government zoning laws. THAT is what has happened. THAT is why the destruction of the traditional 15-30-year bank-mortgage financed American Dream for the majority of home buyers is here to stay. This was deliberate decimation of what was previously trusted as the cornerstone piece of the American Dream -- buying a home, made affordable to all by banks extending credit over 15 to 30 years via home mortgages. There has never been a MORE DANGEROUS violation of the Sherman Act's anti-trust laws than allowing "networks" -- whether hedge funds, Wall Street, AirBnb, etc -- to collude in both price-fixing schemes and schemes to undermine and ultimately destroy the very fabric that held together the residential bank mortgage market that financed the American Dream. American outrage over these successful schemes to decimate the American Dream is long overdue. Instead, most Americans are just numb, dazed and confused and have yet to ponder what part national or local banks had in the destruction of America's affordable housing market. Until the internet made it possible for ONE hedge fund or other financial entity to buy up, crash and control zoning law restrictions in ALL 30,000+ jurisdictions within a very short period of time, these new kinds of mass Sherman Act anti-trust violations/crimes were never possible. Now, these American Dream Bashing Entities can easily pop up en masse at any time. Crowd-sourcing American Dream Destruction is now a thing. A criminal Thing. Wake up, America. Wokism is not your enemy. The companies and entities and investors and individuals who want you asleep at the wheel and crashing our democracy and way of life and ability to finance an affordable home are your real enemies.
In Australia, a number of councils are increasing the council rates on seasonal houses/flats by up to 50% and the state governments are looking to increase the overall taxation on seasonal dwellings. We have the housing shortage too.
Zillow is the one who bought all the houses up in Clearwater FL. Over the past 4 years. They still do. 5th are the reason most can no longer afford to live here.
Well I had a studio apartment. But it had no working heater all winter, broken ac, no wifi, and hot water was out weekly. And they wanted to raise rent again without fixing anything. When I asked about the heater and ac, they gave me a 7 day notice. So now I'm homeless. But my country and society has never cared about me. Funny thing is I'm a mechanic, and everyone needs my help. And me being homeless means I no longer care about people.
There is plenty of housing stock out there. But investors intentionally keep many units off market in order to inflate pricing. Why rent or sell 2 or 3 homes (apartments, single family etc) when the same profit can be had by renting or selling just 1 third and keeping the others vacant? Same profit margin, less work, less risk and you always have stock on hand when you need it.
I lived in a little mountain town in Southern California that has been completely destroyed by AirBNB. That company, and all the people who took the homes that should have been on the market, can rot. I will personally delight in the impending downfall of all those selfish people.
I work in a sales office selling new construction homes in LA county. It’s hard to build here for an affordable price because land is so scarce. 7100 square foot lot is very big now. And so now, they have to build up to get more square footage for the home. And these homes start at $1.5mil. The condos start around $750k. To keep investors coming here, there’s a clause in the contract that says the buyer has to live here for 2 years first. Personally, I think there should be a prohibition on corporate investors, such as Zillow and Red Fin, to keep them from buying single family units. They’re the ones buying everything and it’s hypocritical for Zillow to even comment on this since they are part of the problem. But, the community is selling really fast. We slaughter our quarterly projections by 20 houses.
Housing costs are insane, too. Even if you just wanted to rent - you're looking at almost 3k a month for a 3/2 here in Central Fl for a decent home. Anything cheaper is usually trash or a scam.
Houses should be homes, not business assets. These Airbnbs took a business risk, risk of profit and risk of loss. I will be happy with a market correction that lets more people have access to a home. If you were simply renting out an extra room, you'd be fine to weather any flux. These renters were swallowing up whole houses, taking them away from families, to offer a luxury space. I mean, we have hotels already. There's no need to waste a house on a vacation place when I family could be living in there. Their market buys also raised the housing costs for any other buyers by reducing supply.
Airbnb should have been regulated to only be renting a room in a home you reside in. Not stealth hotels. The last two times I rented one I found bed bugs and had to go to a hotel
Literally millions of perfectly habitable residential properties are sitting empty - very deliberately, in order to create a false scarcity in order to drive values up.
You might want to also be aware of the practice of "apartment warehousing", where multiple companies with lots of properties have mutually agreed to refuse to rent many of their properties in order to drive prices up. This is especially common with rent-controlled units. These companies use an intermediary website to create this unwritten agreement between each other, so it _technically_ isn't price fixing. But it's basically price-fixing, though with more steps. Nothing like sociopathic corporate greed to screw over the rest of society, eh? 😏
What would be really helpful would be if counties would limit the amount of housing that corporations could buy. Not sure how realistic that is though. Maybe they could be persuaded if we protest in massive numbers like they do in other parts of the world ?

Seasonal homes need to have higher property taxes , for every home someone or a LLC owns should have a progressive property tax 1st, home normal rates second home +50% 3rd home +100% 4 home +150%. And so on . Make owning more than 1 properties unsustainable then they will sell
Get rid of mortgage interest deductions except for a short term first buyer. Almost no other country has it and our ownership rates are no higher with it. Its a subsidy to real estate agents who are the most useless people on the face of the planet.
A lot of people want small homes & not larger, overpriced family or McMansion homes. But, those aren't being built for mainly the same reason automakers don't sell true subcompacts anymore in the U.S. market - less profit per unit sold.

Being a Finance person we need to also look at rates staying so low for so long making it financially beneficial for corporations to scoop up these houses for airbnb and Rentals. Mostly what has caused the inflation in housing prices are the low rates that were kept low for too long. Now we have an adult raising rates like they should have and people are complaining that their IRA and 401K is going down while also complaining about inflation. Why do you think your house is worth so much. Just wait until a lot of these people who were taking out Heloc's on their home value are now hit with higher rates.

Or let’s say create policy that only allows people to own certain amount of homes. Housing is not a business, it allows families to actually convey generational wealth to future generations. It creates an inflated cost of property.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

It's more like house hoarding by the sociopaths. Ignoring it's a residential neighborhood and putting in a commercial hotel.
They are zoned single family homes to OWN. They are not zoned commercial property.
Why is not illegal to rent a single family home. The single family listed on the deed be the family living on the property. As in zoned one family to own a home. Zoned single family homes.
Just like our government is not policing the ponzi scheme cryptocurrencies and the stockmarket.
Some how my sister got fired from her job just for watching another employee steal. Our government is turning a blind eye to white-collar crime. All the criminals are a nod and a wink in trillions in defict spending. Their financial manager is insider trading and the blue-collar workers financial manager is debt management.
The go to college to get a higher paying white-collar job turns into white-collar crime. As if being a sociopath doing bad math at the bank and calling residential property commercial property is normal and not criminal.
There are enough homes for about 1 for every 2.3 people in the US. That is just single family homes, not apartments or split unit homes. The problem is not a shortage. The problem is these homes are built for residents and are bought by corporations. Corporate entities and investment firms should be banned from buying residential homes. They are manipulating the market and cashing in. There should also be limits on how many homes a person can own as well.
We should break up the headge fund that owns 1 million units across 16 states

@ninadaly7639 they use an algorithm to rent control all of them so there is no competition. High rent high profits pure greed. Regular people have no chance in the future.
I’m in Florida and it should e way higher. We have people with full time jobs living in homeless shelters in Florida. I’m a property manager and I’ve seen people just cry because there’s really no where to go. But don’t worry, the state stepped in and gave $600.000 to the millionaire community I was managing. The money was to dredge their sand. They put in their newsletter where it just said good news. That would be life changing for the rest of us. So make no mistake that millionaires are living in government subsidized housing. I bet none of them think that. They probably think they deserved it.
Lol, AirBnb use to be the cheaper better alternative to hotel and motel and now they are the more expensive and their house policy is just ridicous.
Before Airbnb, I remember that having a bed and breakfast business in Wisconsin required the owner to live on site in order to qualify for the business designation. There was no buying a house and renting it like a motel in a residential neighborhood. I'm sure not all states have that law but if so airbnb seems to have found a loophole. It's crazy to have homes in a neighborhood with either a constant stream of strangers or sitting vacant.
Exactly
Yes, it's weird and I'm sure very annoying to neighbors.
I think we should ban businesses, corporations, and foreign investors from buying single family homes and impose tax penalties or fines on landlords with a property or properties that are vacant for more than 12 months.

Why is no one talking about wage stagnation? Affording a house wouldn't be so bad if people weren't making less, wages haven't been keeping up with inflation for 50 years (since Reagan).
And tax vacant housing, that's a proper luxury tax.
And oversight on zoning, prevent crooked/stupid city permits for over-priced condos and luxury apartments from being thrown-up left and right without thought to what is actually needed, existing building limitations (new condos that are ridiculously taller than anything else in the area), and local parking constraints.
I will never rent at Airbnb again. The greed by these homeowners is insane. The cleaning fees alone are enough to walk away. Vacations are meant to be relaxing, not work.
Yeah, I did it once then went back to hotels. They clean the room for you, what a shock 😂
How much do you pay a cleaning person to clean your house or apt? Do they wash your sheets and towels, clean the inside of your refrigerator, clean your BBQ, make your bed? Compare the price you are quoted and then apply it to the sqft and amenities of the AirBnB you were at. I think you should do the research before you complain about the prices? Maybe you sre correct and they were way off, or maybe you are just unfamiliar with today's cleaning prices.
I relied on Airbnb when I moved across the country for a new job. Lived in three different units until I was able to get an apartment, and I will say Airbnb is great for transplants.

This is actually good news. AirBNB and venture capitalists have tied up too much housing, driving up the cost of rents and home ownership to ridiculous rates. It's a very necessary market correction.

It's like musical chairs when the music stops.
I disagree with this completely. They see it as a less liquid asset that holds its value. They will not sell these houses any lower than they invested. The reason why is that they have so much power they can construct cheap crap intro homes then in 30 years high interest mortgages, and make a bunch of money off from, then sell these houses to those intro home owners and make substantially more than they make selling it right now. These guys are playing 30-year games because they have the capital to keep them a flow for those kind of durations of time. You're thinking about these things like a poor person because most of us are poor people. It's a whole different game for them. I don't even want to get into how they're going to manipulate the banking system in order to roll up the remainder of the 30-year mortgages that they're taking out on the shit homes to move into these other homes and give them an insane variable rate when they do it. You know maybe they're at 6% on the 30-year and it's a fixed mortgage but you know this investment firm will work with this bank that gives them a loan that buys off the remainder of their previous loan at 6% or maybe even 3% then rolls up the remainder piles it on top of the price of the new home then they charge them a variable rate with a sweetheart introduction deal of 2% so people don't think and then 5 years later it jumps up to 14% and they rape them to death financially. Because that's America. That's how America works. Set off some fireworks celebrate this shit show because America!
...Meanwhile millions of luxury apartments sit empty because the people who need housing cant afford 3K-4K per month.

Too late! They have all the money now.
This is an example of how capitalism doesn’t always work. There’s more profit to construct an expensive vacation house than a starter house. We need more incentives to construct starter homes.
No, there isn't. I, as a capitalist, WANT to build affordable homes. It diversifies my portfolio and it meets a demand. But Mr Big Government has made building new homes like getting blood from a stone, because existing real estate developers and property-owning politicians, like it when their portfolio's go up in value because the demand is exceeding the supply and so they pass endless numbers of laws and regulations that makes building more homes almost impossible or a down-right money-pit, so no one wants to do it.
It's not the "capitalist", it's the government.
Why starter. Nah. Homesteading generational housing. Enough if this endless migration bullshit it's part of what caused this issue in the first place. The home is treated as a marketable investment first instead of a home.
People plan on selling houses after a few year which incentivises NIMBYism and trying tactics to keep "undesirables" from bringing the market down because they are trying to get max profit. This also creates insensitive to buy several properties with the express purpose of selling instead of living
There not constructing homes that's the problem.They're buying existing properties, out bidding all others, holding on to property and then push the price up and sell.Your vulture funds have ruined the market in ireland.We can't even keep our young here, because they've nowhere for them to live.We're bleeding skilled people, nurses,doctors and tradesmen.

The problem is not a shortage of housing it's the prices. I work construction, we build homes all the time. It's just nothing that normal people can afford
Nailed it
Even the carpenters building the homes have to rent..
Let's be clear... There is NO shortage of homes, they just are not affordable for those in need of homes. When will the government address that, instead of lining their pockets? Wow! American Greed at it's best. SMH
That's not entirely true. There is a shortage of actual *livable* housing which is compounded by a shortage of affordable housing. There are some misleading stats going around saying there is something like 5 empty homes for every homeless person or whatever it is but that number includes ALL housing that was vacant even if it was only empty for a day or two. It also counts housing that is condemned or abandoned and not livable.
This is an important distinction because a lack of housing for the middle class and wealthy puts strain on housing for average working class people who have much tighter budgets. When those with a bigger budget cannot find a place to live that is within their financial bracket they are forced to "rent down", and that means less housing for those who actually need those cheaper places. Those with more money will always be able to get a house or apartment above those with less money, because it's easier for them to get lower cost loans or to impress a landlord to choose them as tenants over a more modest income family.
I live in an area where this is a major issue. A lack of more "upper class" housing options means that the wealthy will overbid on houses just to get them in a hot market, massively inflating housing prices. Housing prices here have more than doubled in less than 10 years and I know people who have thrown money at a house to get it because they knew someone else would outbid them if they didn't make an offer with tens of thousands more above asking price. When they rent they get apartments easier because the landlord obviously would prefer to rent to someone who makes plenty of money than someone who might be paycheck to paycheck. Those of us who don't have a lot of cash to throw around are being squeezed out.
What would you like to see the government do about this?
1. In my market, burned out Air BnB owners are converting them to long term rentals, not putting them up for sale. This has a positive impact on the rental market but does not impact home prices.
2. Ana says that policy makers should demand the construction of starter homes. In my market, starter homes are not built because the contractors would go out of business. The base costs are almost the same for a starter home (land, permits, etc) as a large home. In order to change that, there will need to be incentives for building affordable housing.
Exactly. Why would an owner sell their house when they could just do long term rentals? 🤷🏽♀️ it’s a no-brainer.
Agree
Airbnb should have been made illegal, or at least full time Airbnb properties should have been made illegal. If a couple has their basement open for visitors, fine. But buying a property for the sole purpose of renting it out for Airbnb has destroyed the housing market and the communities they're located in.
Why not outlaw all business?
We should look at how many of these vacant homes are owned by foreign investors.
There is also a huge issue of hedge funds purchasing homes, holding them empty, then at the right time selling them for astronomical prices that keep many people out of the housing market.
Classic pump and dump strategy. Housing should not be an investment.
Let’s address the issue of institutional investors who buy up a bunch of homes just to rent them out. We purchased in a nearby state after renting in California for the past 9 years, but we soon realized a lot of homes were all bought up to be rented by companies like Mynd Project and American Homes 4 Rent AH4R (so you’ll never build any generational wealth for your family).
That doesn’t change the numbers in this story. The numbers she’s showing includes rental units. Renting is worse then a purchase but these rental companies aren’t causing the shortage by shifting the number of available units. But they are raising prices which is hurting the market in that way. But if they sold their properties to
families that would do almost nothing. We just have to build more multi family homes.
@@illsaveus there are about 141.58 million single family homes in the US. Thats one for every 2.33 people. That doesn't count apartments or split units. We have plenty of housing. The problem is the investor class is buying them up and leaving them empty to drive up the market. Apartment owners are doing the same thing. They leave units that need work empty and raise everyone else's rent to make up the difference. Housing shouldn't be commodified. We at least need to ban corporate entities and investment firms from buying residential housing. We should also limit how many houses a person should own.
We need legislation to make this illegal. This should be the number one thing news stations are covering. Something needs to be done about these insane rent prices
They should be forced to build smaller affordable homes not everyone wants or can afford these McMansions they’re building.
Who “should be forced to build smaller affordable homes”??
Black Rock buying up thousands of starter Homes need to be outlawed along with people owning more than 2 properties. We can't continue to be a renters nation.
You bring up great points!
AirBnB is absolutely a problem. I stayed at an AirBnB once with some friends…. It ended up being more expensive than a hotel, we had to pay a cleaning fee, plus we had to clean the house (we were not a messy group). On top of that, the rental was below a party house, so sleep was not a thing…. After that, I will never use AirBnB again. This is also a problem for them, as I’ve heard of experiences like mine.
The other issue, at least in the SF Bay Area, is many home have been purchased by foreigners. These units remain empty, because with the rate of increase in price of homes, they make enough money just letting the place sit. A friend of mine manages a mixed use building in San Francisco. There are several units in his building that were purchased and never moved into. Years later the unit remains empty.
I feel like your 2nd home should have a high property tax placed on it, making even renting less profitable. After 3 or more homes they should be aggressively taxed. No companies should be able to own single family homes.
Gotta Love that uncontrolled Capitalism
Airbnb is having financial trouble?

AirBNB is a SCAM.....with MANY owners being into Nefarious practices and ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, all of them should be audited...I am sure the IRS AND FEDS would find alarmimg illegal activity with those properties. I recently rented out an AirBNB for 2 months consecutively(60 days & I Paid Upfront) while inbetween home leases, I had a private security camera in my bedroom and I RECORDED THE AIRBNB FRIENDS/EMPLOYEES GOING IN AND OUT OF MY PRIVATE ROOM THAT HAD A LOCKED (KEYED ENTRY) DOOR ON.
I reported the illegal entry into my bedroom to AIRBNB and they offered to pay for one night at a hotel because I left the AirBNB immediately after I was alerted by my security camera while I was in a meeting 20 minutes away from the home and I lost out on my remaining month's rent that I prepaid. After a month of NO RESOLUTION AirBNB just deactived my account.
I even emailed AirBNB CEO Brian Chesky for many weeks and I have copies of all my emails, no response. I filed two police reports because the AirBNB owner had their friends come to the house pretending like renters and ATTEMPTING TO THREATEN/INTIMIDATE ME, The police showed up and I recorded the incident. I have copies of the police reports when the police came to,the house and witnessed the AirBNB Owner/Manager friends harrasing me as retaliation because I made the complaint to AirBNB Corporate about the illegal entry into my private bedroom.
I have copies of all the emails I exchanged with AirBNB Customer Service, I spoke/emailed with over 8 employees of AirBNB and they would just transfer my ticket to a new representative every 3-4 days and ask me to repeat my complaint like it was the first time I made it and nothing was done. I also have the video of AirBNB Manager's friends/employees illegally entering my private locked bedroom as well, the video is posted online.
I was Paying almost 900/month for a room the size of very very very tiny walk-in closet , in a shared home with 5 other "bedrooms" they cramped in there, the AirBNB was even so greedy that they made the shared living room a "bedroom option" and threw some pillows on the sofa and DID NOT want tenants who were paying 900/month to use the living room because it was considered a "potential bedroom"💯💯💯
AIRBNB IS AN ABSOLUTE TRASH COMPANY🎯💯💯💯AIRBNB has Totally AWFUL AND ILLEGAL PRACTICES💯💯💯 I KNOW THIS AFTER MONTHS OF AWFUL EXPERIENCES WITH AIRBNB, ABSOLUTE TRASH AND YOU ARE LITERALLY PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK ANYTIME YOU USE THEIR SERVICES💯💯💯 THEY CAN ALLOW CRIMINALS TO GO INTO YOUR ROOM AT ANYTIME AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THAT, THEY WILL JUST IGNORE YOUR ILLEGAL ENTRY COMPLAINTS AND DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT SO THEY CAN PRETEND NOTHING HAPPEN💯💯💯
THESE CRIMINALS HAVE KEYS TO EVERY ROOM AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE COPIES OF THAT KEY, OR IF PREVIOUS RENTER JUST MADE 20 COPIES OF THAT KEY. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A LOT OF RECENT NEWS REPORTS OF HIDDEN CAMERAS IN BATHROOMS ETC FILMING TENANTS. THOSE ILLEGAL BATHROOM URINATION & SHOWER VOYEUR VIDEOS ARE SOLD ONLINE TO PERVERTS AT A HEFTY COST/FEE (AND YES, THAT IS A VERY POPULAR THING/HOBBY FOR SOME SIC PEOPLE). THEU HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS IN PUBLIC AREAS AT MOST AIRBNB, HOWEVER I WOULD NOT RULE OUT THAT THESE CRIMINALS ARE PUTTING NUMEROUS HIDDEN CAMERAS IN ALL PRIVATE AREAS OF HOMES AS WELL SUCH AS SHOWERS AND BATHROOM TOILETS JUST TO SELL THOSE VIDEOS LATER FOR MORE CASH, AND THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN NEWS STORIES COMING OUT RECENTLY OF THAT HAPPENING🎯💯💯💯
I AM MALE AND I CAN DEFEND MYSELF AGAINST A CRIMINAL WALKING INTO MY ROOM IF I WAS THERE IN THE ROOM, I FEEL SCARED & VERY WORRIED FOR FEMALE TRAVELERS WHO ARE ALONE AND RISKING A CRIMINAL MAN WALKING INTO YOUR ROOM AT ANY POINT THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WITHOUT NOTICE AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AIRBNB WILL DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT IGNORE IT🎯💯💯
I've despised AirBnB since its beginning. I never thaought it was a good idea in general, and that it would inevitably cause long term trouble.
Sure enough. It did.
Affordable housing, as currently practiced, is a joke. In my hometown, the local factory complains that they can't get enough workers because they can't find apartments or houses to rent/buy. They built 'affordable rental units.' However, the local factory's wages put their 'affordable units' out of the reach of any workers who were single parents who needed at least a two bedroom unit and child care. My husband worked at the factory and we figured out how much of a raise he would need to actually afford the rent on a two-bedroom apartment while having enough money left over to actually have a life, and it was at least $2 more than he already made, and that didn't factor in child care. So, affordable housing needs to actually be affordable by the lowest common denominator as well as the higher common denominators.
We have PLENTY of empty houses/apartments that can house people, the only problem is that we are making people pay for a basic need AKA shelter. Start letting people stay in those empty places instead of price gouging.
You’re joking right? Those are privately owned buildings. You want to just LET people squat there? They can’t. The liability to the owner, utility issues, code compliance issues, wear and tear on the buildings all prevent it.
How much of this is because a lot of these corporate landlords are leaving properties vacant in order to create scarcity and drive up rental prices?

@@courtneymakupsonno offence but you as guilty, because you used AirBNB you giving them business. Dont you see irony in that, and hypocrisy?
That's just idiotic to say someone is "guilty" because they used AIRBNB service and found out it was criminal. That is like saying someone took their car to a repair shop for repair and instead parts were stolen from their vehicle and the customer is now "guilty" customers for going to get their car repaired. After they learn about the horrible business practices and never go back they are showing their dissatisfaction by no patronage of that business. People who blame paying customers for suffering through criminal business activity and never going back to that business are being very foolish for blaming the customers💯💯💯
There are no shortages..... Only unaffordable properties.
Zoning is I feel the most important problem in the USA, allowing mostly the build of either standalone family homes or high rise apartment building. The high density mid rise buildings and environment are hard to find, and hard to build again because of too strict zoning laws. Other MAJOR problem is the addiction to cars and car infrastructure.
Cities in the USA are mostly high rise combined with large car parks. If you would improve public transport, bike infrastructure and walkability, you could build on the car parks and increase density in cities.
That's a separate issue which has nothing to do with being ale to find housing you can afford. We're probably not going to do anything about that for a while, either, since the handful of places that want to- like Cleveland, OH, with their 15 minute city plan- already have conservatives batching that it's a liberal plot to eventually make it illegal to ever be more than 15 minutes away from your place of residence ever again.
Ana, I've worked as an architectural draftsperson my whole life. I worked on a 650 million $ non profit development for first-time homebuyers. Your analysis is nothing short of brilliant. What you did not bring into this excellent analysis is the encroachment of private investment firms into local markets. There was a time when real-estate investors lived on your block. Now, they live in Abu Dabi or Canada. There is no sense of connection to the communities they buy.
Is there supposed to be?
Cmon housing prices shrink! I have a full time job and cant even afford to buy a home near my work.
As a Millennial, the best chance I have at moving out of my parent’s house for good is for full societal collapse to run its course, and then scavenge a home off of someone whose biggest concern was stocking up on toilet paper.
As we boomer generation pass on we will leave a huge pile of sh- behind, including our houses. You will see a massive housing glut in your lifetime. Might take another 20 years but you will also see how fast 20 years goes by,
Airbnb has a negative impact on housing even in Germany, espeacially Berlin. There is a shortage of effordable homes here as well and it is clear that this company's business concept took a lot of objects from the market.
I live in the Denver metro. Our mountain towns are in severe crisis due to most rentals being short term. Businesses are closing due to workers not finding housing… it just really sucks.
If affordable housing is constructed, we need regulations to prevent the uber wealthy from buying them up, and renting them; turning new affordable neighborhoods into apartment complexes, basically.
Exactly! That was another issue where all these renting companies buying up house to only turn around and rent them out. I don’t wanna rent anymore, I wanna be able to own a house!
Who do you expect to build these affordable homes, the government? They tried that before and they became “the projects” in urban areas, ie war zones.
@@ninadaly7639 Since I grew up In the projects, I think I know what they are. I also know that builders can build real homes the average income earner has a better chance of affording, if they choose to do so and/or are incentivized to. I guess you are one of those unimaginative folks who assumes there is no hope or possible solutions for normal income earners or just someone who wants to whine. Glad you aren’t the one responsible for building them… smart ass. There are literally thousands of examples of this very concept happening all across the country, but you are in the comments with your negativity and helplessness. Sad.
@@ninadaly7639
“The projects” are the result specifically of the US government. Other cities, like Vienna and Singapore, seem to be able to avoid those outcomes. Maybe because they build housing for people of all incomes, and not just the poorest citizens?
@@hostilepancakes So you want to nationalize the housing industry? And the mortgage industry?
My 26 year old son and his 2 cats just moved in to my tiny 2 bedroom apartment. Theres 3 of us and 4 cats. About to lose my mind. All there is: overpriced crappy apartments or insanely priced luxury apartments. No middle.
Lucky they let you have 4 cats!
Just looked at a 1 bedroom apartment the other day. Almost $1800 for a cookie cutter "luxury" apartment. Absolutely ridiculous. There was nothing luxury about it. It was just a standard apartment with standard appliances. I guess it was considered luxury because it wasn't a run-down delapidated hellhole.
Pay people more!!! Wages HAVE NOT KEPT UP WITH INFLATION!!!
That will make more inflation. They will then charge more for the said service. How about stop giving money away to other countrys
@@Ryan-mb6oj We do need to avoid a wage price spiral but that has nothing to do with giving money to other countries unless you are calling for using that money to fund low income housing which somehow I do not think that is what you are saying.
@@Ryan-mb6oj When women entered the workplace during and after WWII the price of everything doubled. Inflation is baked into the system. Working harder didn't get Americans ahead. It merely lessened the value of their labor.
It's the big businesses that buy up all the houses and rent them out at outrageous price and reselling the houses at outrageous prices too. It's another 2008 housing market scenario. Artificial demand and price gouging.

Yup. Prices have been inflated well beyond realistic pricing.
As long as the govt allows corporations to buy homes in bulk quantities this problem won’t be solved. Zillow is one of those corporations buying homes left and right in the pandemic and re-listing them for 25% more.
Also, just like college credits work; if you didn’t live in the state there should be an upchage (this is to protect the current resident buying power).
I'm literally listening to this in a homeless shelter in NYC
The Italians are considering laws cracking down on all rentals of 30 days or less. I am torn - I understand that an Airbnb is about the only way the non-wealthy can get in on passive income. But absentee landlords and big companies buying up everything is awful.
I thought that there are towns in Italy where there are houses that are empty because all of the people have abandoned the town?
@@linusa2996 yes, there are some 6000 abandoned towns. The problem with them is that they are very hard to live in without major investment. Some were destroyed by earthquakes and mudslides, so even the buildings still standing can’t be trusted. Many are in super mountainous areas where running a train is effectively impossible, and even maintaining roads for modern delivery is expensive. Many simply have thousand year old everything and just wore out, or have been hit by the increasingly undependable weather trends - drought that kills the roots holding soil together, followed by raging storms that wash mountainsides away. Then there is the modern desire to not have to work your body to the bone to survive - kids want a modern life. Plus, the uberwealthy fuck things up here like they do everywhere - billions for yachts and artwork, but nothing for infrastructure that doesn’t profit them and them alone. There are a few towns being revitalized by some artists with funding, and they are cool, but it’s only a few.
Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.
I'd be glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one? How did you spot this Margaret ?
That’s not why so many people are living in each home. It’s that rent/ mortgage takes 75% of your take home pay these days.
It's a combination of things, especially and including the point you mentioned. But we cant deny each contributing factor
They could just turn them into affordable long term rentals. That would be a win win for them and those who need to rent.
how credulous.
the people from zillow were buying up the homes and then raising their valuation during the pandemic and then reselling them for a huge mark up. But sure, the same company who did that really gaf about affordable housing.
There are a ton of abandoned houses in the small Massachusetts town I live in. I majored in stem can't afford to rent anywhere. This whole crisis is by design to benefit older generations at the expense of literally everyone else.
In our touristy little town, Airbnb can only be a room in your home. No short term rental of homes. Half of our town would have been Airbnb without such regulations. Even so, there is almost no rentals available of any size, homes or apartments.

*Landlords shouldn't force their bills on tenants with bogus fees. Just an honest monthly fee, a small down payment. That is all tenants should be responsible to pay to rent an apartment.*
*Bogus fees like, charging each family member $30 to apply toward the applications fees*
*Bogus, 3 months rent, current rent and down payment. WHAT THE HELL??? We can hardly afford a current month rent. HOW DO WE PAY 3 MONTHS PLUS CURRENT MONTH???*
*Landlords are getting too greedy*
This is a horrible take. The application fees are because they have to run background checks on the applicants. This costs money and is not free. You don’t see 3 months rent as often. It’s typically is the down payment, first, and last months rent.
The down payment is because tenants often do damage to the rental since they don’t own the property. The first month rent is literally for the first month rent. Last month rent is if the tenant fails to pay rent and needs to be evicted. Evictions in California for example can sometimes take months. If the tenant doesn’t damage the rental then they get their deposit back and are simply paying for a place to live.
This is very reasonable. If anything, the government needs to make more policies to improve the supply of homes. If there is a lot more supply, then home prices and rents will go down. Simple economics.
Landlords are parasites. Period.
@@andrewkingland282Do you rent or own a home?
Tenants shouldn't force their financial irresponsibility's on landlords. I happen to be a landlord, I no longer interact with tenants and instead have my house in a transitional housing program where people fleeing family violence and the like get a few months breathing room while they find a long term solution. Prior to being in this program I charged 80% of market rent, with 2 weeks rent as a security deposit. During the 3 years I did that I cycled through 7 tenants, EVERY SINGLE ONE left the property damaged and uninhabitable, EVERY SINGLE ONE, failed to pay rent. And on top of that not a single one actually "cancelled" the rental agreement, they just moved out after not paying rent for a period of time. I lost almost an entire year worth of rental income just repairing the property after walls were broken down, windows were smashed. Doors had been kicked in, grafitti on the walls, burned carpets and curtains. And to top it all off a methamphetamine pollution that required professional cleaning to meet standards again. And while not receiving rent, the tenant is literally showing off their newly bought car that they got on finance. Having a large Christmas party while I am not celebrating Christmas since the rent didn't come in for the last 3 weeks, and I have to pay that mortgage and the insurance on that property. It is quite something having to explain to your 7 year old son that there won't be presents this year because the assholes next year are partying it up and not paying their rent so we can't celebrate our holiday.
Stop behaving like and asshole dumping all the issues on landlords, the problem is with the tenants, all those fees and deposits? They are there so the landlord has some shot at keeping shit afloat when the tenant shirks on his responsibilities.
*@joshuacornwell6726 restrictions to landlords renting is one solution to high rent. If, tenants do damage take it up with that tenant and go to court for damages. Don't put it on all tenants and raise rent. What's the reason for raising rent every year? This is what I am talking about and those fees should go, too.*
4 million AFFORDABLE housing units. And the rich want to make us a renters nation.

Housing has become the biggest form of debt slavery. Not that long ago, people built their own home and owned it.

ABB prices have gone up so much with fees and add ons it is cheaper to stay in "normal" vacation homes and hotels . simple supply and demand and cost.
Totally agree. It's infuriating especially when your cleaning fee is obstensibly going towards a shared bathroom
There’s no housing shortage. There’s an affordability crisis
Yes but building more affordable housing will help that. So in a way it is a housing shortage
@@samr6408 seems more like a waste of resources.
You read the data wrong. There is both a shortage, and an affordability problem. The total 4+ million living unit shortfall is where we are **if** all of the empty units were occupied. As it stands, we effectively have about 15-16 million fewer living units than are needed.
@@ElenaAideen you’re looking at comparable prices to income, the shortfall is conflated with overpriced assets that are the issue . There’s plenty of homes that an ordinary income wouldn’t be able to afford, so in short prices aren’t keeping up with the affordability comparison to income
@@ElenaAideen "The math turns out to around 28 housing units for every homeless person,..."
Like, why is every apartment built say luxury. What happened to regular?
I Say, wonderland is gone forever and ever
We have tons of vacant apartments, because no one can afford the rent on them. The price of real estate is a national obscenity.
It is good the apartments stay vacant until the rents get lowered to an affordable price.
The zero regulation on the fees charged is ridiculous. We found dust on the counter so we charged you 1500 in cleaning fees. Plus we charged our 150 early booking fee and a 100 convenience fee.
Abnb and anything like it should be illegal af. You should have to apply to be a hotel and be subject to hotel regulations.
I'm an urban planner in Iowa and our state government literally has made it illegal for cities like mine to regulate Airbnbs and other short term rentals. We are required to treat them no differently than any other residential land use and cannot enact any special permitting requirements. A lot of local planners and policymakers understand the strain that short term rentals are placing on the housing market, but bad state level leadership is getting in the way in some places.
We need to stop talking about tax incentives and start talking about tax disincentives. Local governments could almost immediately fix the housing crisis by applying heavy taxes every month for vacant units.
We do that in Florida and it doesn’t help.
I hope they go completely bankrupt. It is not a sustainable model... We need zoning regulations
Look at the Supreme Court dear. Good luck with zoning regulations.

They keep building high rises in Boston that are only 40% occupied..so affordable housing is the bulk of the problem..
That, and these companies only build luxury housing. Working in Sacramento, I met a guy who moved up from LA, and he told me he ended up having to move because of costs. Homes there were being built in his relatively average neighborhood, but everything being built was luxury single family homes youd need at least six figures to even look at.
Meanwhile .. I just saw a report of buildings made for business in New York are standing empty of tons of office space created by developers. Even in my own country you can see how many empty large buildings created for businesses. There is not a "crisis" ... it's all poor planning and dumb investments
There's no such thing as a seasonal home. Unless it somehow gets torn down and rebuilt every year. We need some serious taxes on real estate profits to ward off the speculators and investors that just want to drive up prices for increased profits at the expense of exacerbating a homelessness crisis.
The housing prices in the Phoenix metro area has been crazy for several years, corporations and vulture investors have been buying houses and paying over-market prices in cash making it impossible for average working people to buy a house, and along with that rent prices have skyrocketed. In my neighborhood I've seen prices go from the mid 30's for a very modest 2 or 3 bedroom house, up now to around 350k for the same houses. meanwhile, wages have not increased at the same rates and hard working average people are struggling to find housing. It's a mess, caused by greed.
Totally agree but if completely kill the business of renting homes to people that cant qualify/afford to buy we will have a huge deficit of apartments AND people that want to raise a family in a rental home lose the ability, no, as flawed as the system is that horse left the barn when homes STOPPED being a place to live and or raise a family in and transformed into an INVESTMENT which drew the vultures like Blackrock into our local home markets and THAT screwed the 1st time buyers.
Stop letting Corprations buy out all of the houses.
There are over 30,000+ local jurisdictions with separate zoning laws in the USA. But ONE Wall Street hedge fund can outsmart them all by buying up 30,000 "residential houses" and turning them into a "commercial" enterprise with zero interference from local government zoning laws. THAT is what has happened. THAT is why the destruction of the traditional 15-30-year bank-mortgage financed American Dream for the majority of home buyers is here to stay. This was deliberate decimation of what was previously trusted as the cornerstone piece of the American Dream -- buying a home, made affordable to all by banks extending credit over 15 to 30 years via home mortgages. There has never been a MORE DANGEROUS violation of the Sherman Act's anti-trust laws than allowing "networks" -- whether hedge funds, Wall Street, AirBnb, etc -- to collude in both price-fixing schemes and schemes to undermine and ultimately destroy the very fabric that held together the residential bank mortgage market that financed the American Dream. American outrage over these successful schemes to decimate the American Dream is long overdue. Instead, most Americans are just numb, dazed and confused and have yet to ponder what part national or local banks had in the destruction of America's affordable housing market. Until the internet made it possible for ONE hedge fund or other financial entity to buy up, crash and control zoning law restrictions in ALL 30,000+ jurisdictions within a very short period of time, these new kinds of mass Sherman Act anti-trust violations/crimes were never possible. Now, these American Dream Bashing Entities can easily pop up en masse at any time. Crowd-sourcing American Dream Destruction is now a thing. A criminal Thing. Wake up, America. Wokism is not your enemy. The companies and entities and investors and individuals who want you asleep at the wheel and crashing our democracy and way of life and ability to finance an affordable home are your real enemies.
And we wonder why so many people are living in RVs and tents?!
In Australia, a number of councils are increasing the council rates on seasonal houses/flats by up to 50% and the state governments are looking to increase the overall taxation on seasonal dwellings. We have the housing shortage too.
Zillow is the one who bought all the houses up in Clearwater FL. Over the past 4 years. They still do. 5th are the reason most can no longer afford to live here.
Zillow has been buying all the small starter homes and the are now selling for 400k
Zillow is the problem.
Big fish eat little fish me bucko. Tired of it yet?
Well I had a studio apartment. But it had no working heater all winter, broken ac, no wifi, and hot water was out weekly. And they wanted to raise rent again without fixing anything. When I asked about the heater and ac, they gave me a 7 day notice. So now I'm homeless. But my country and society has never cared about me. Funny thing is I'm a mechanic, and everyone needs my help. And me being homeless means I no longer care about people.
There is plenty of housing stock out there. But investors intentionally keep many units off market in order to inflate pricing. Why rent or sell 2 or 3 homes (apartments, single family etc) when the same profit can be had by renting or selling just 1 third and keeping the others vacant? Same profit margin, less work, less risk and you always have stock on hand when you need it.
Restrict to owners rather than "investors." Only tax relief on first homes would help.
I lived in a little mountain town in Southern California that has been completely destroyed by AirBNB. That company, and all the people who took the homes that should have been on the market, can rot. I will personally delight in the impending downfall of all those selfish people.
Big Bear?
@@arios1977 Both Lake Arrowhead and Idyllwild, actually. Idyllwild was the most depressing thing I've witnessed, though.
I work in a sales office selling new construction homes in LA county. It’s hard to build here for an affordable price because land is so scarce. 7100 square foot lot is very big now. And so now, they have to build up to get more square footage for the home. And these homes start at $1.5mil. The condos start around $750k. To keep investors coming here, there’s a clause in the contract that says the buyer has to live here for 2 years first. Personally, I think there should be a prohibition on corporate investors, such as Zillow and Red Fin, to keep them from buying single family units. They’re the ones buying everything and it’s hypocritical for Zillow to even comment on this since they are part of the problem. But, the community is selling really fast. We slaughter our quarterly projections by 20 houses.
Housing costs are insane, too. Even if you just wanted to rent - you're looking at almost 3k a month for a 3/2 here in Central Fl for a decent home. Anything cheaper is usually trash or a scam.
Houses should be homes, not business assets. These Airbnbs took a business risk, risk of profit and risk of loss. I will be happy with a market correction that lets more people have access to a home.
If you were simply renting out an extra room, you'd be fine to weather any flux. These renters were swallowing up whole houses, taking them away from families, to offer a luxury space. I mean, we have hotels already. There's no need to waste a house on a vacation place when I family could be living in there. Their market buys also raised the housing costs for any other buyers by reducing supply.
Airbnb should have been regulated to only be renting a room in a home you reside in. Not stealth hotels. The last two times I rented one I found bed bugs and had to go to a hotel
Also Ana, a lot of houses are vacant because they were bought up by investors in order to squeeze the supply/demand ratio.
Literally millions of perfectly habitable residential properties are sitting empty - very deliberately, in order to create a false scarcity in order to drive values up.
Building more houses doesn’t stop them being turn into rentals.
You might want to also be aware of the practice of "apartment warehousing", where multiple companies with lots of properties have mutually agreed to refuse to rent many of their properties in order to drive prices up. This is especially common with rent-controlled units. These companies use an intermediary website to create this unwritten agreement between each other, so it _technically_ isn't price fixing. But it's basically price-fixing, though with more steps. Nothing like sociopathic corporate greed to screw over the rest of society, eh? 😏
Jesus Christ...how corrupt can these bastards get...
What would be really helpful would be if counties would limit the amount of housing that corporations could buy. Not sure how realistic that is though. Maybe they could be persuaded if we protest in massive numbers like they do in other parts of the world ?
Yes!
I agree, what city should we start??? ....AirBNB is a SCAM.....with MANY MANY MANY owners being into Nefarious practices and Illegal activity, all if them should be audited...I,am sure the IRS AND FEDS would find alarmimg illegal activity and facts with those houses. I recently rented out an AirBNB for 2 months consecutively while inbetween home leases, I had a private security camera in my bedroom and I RECORDED THE AIRBNB FRIENDS/EMPLOYEES GOING IN AND OUT OF MY PRIVATE ROOM THAT HAD A LOCKED DOOR ON.
I reported the illegal entry into my bedroom to AIRBNB and they offered to pay for one night at a hotel because I ledt the AirBNB immediately after and lost out on my remaining month's rent that I prepaid. After a month of NO RESOLUTION AirBNB just deactived my account. I even enailed AirBNB CEO for many weeks and I have copies of all my emails, no response. I have copies of all the emails we exchanged and I have the video of them illegal entering my privated locked bedroom as well.
I was Paying almost 900/month for a room the size of very very very tiny walk-in closet , in a shared home with 5 other "bedrooms" they cramped in there, the AirBNB was even so greedy that they made the shared living room a "bedroom option" and threw some pillows on the sofa and DID NOT want tenants who were paying 900/month to use the living room because it was considered a "potential bedroom"💯💯💯
AIRBNB IS AN ABSOLUTE TRASH COMPANY🎯💯💯💯AIRBNB has Totally AWFUL AND ILLEGAL PRACTICES💯💯💯 I KNOW THIS AFTER MONTHS OF AWFUL EXPERIENCES WITH AIRBNB, ABSOLUTE TRASH AND YOUBARE LITERALLY PUTTING YOUR LOFE AT RISK ANYTIME YOU USE,THEIR SERVICES, THEY CAN LET CRIMINALS GO INTO YOUR ROOM AT ANYTIME AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION FOR THAT, THEY WILL JUST IGNORE YOUR ILLEGAL ENTRY AND DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT💯💯💯
Seasonal homes need to have higher property taxes , for every home someone or a LLC owns should have a progressive property tax 1st, home normal rates second home +50% 3rd home +100% 4 home +150%. And so on . Make owning more than 1 properties unsustainable then they will sell
Get rid of mortgage interest deductions except for a short term first buyer. Almost no other country has it and our ownership rates are no higher with it. Its a subsidy to real estate agents who are the most useless people on the face of the planet.
A lot of people want small homes & not larger, overpriced family or McMansion homes. But, those aren't being built for mainly the same reason automakers don't sell true subcompacts anymore in the U.S. market - less profit per unit sold.
...AirBNB is a SCAM.....with MANY MANY MANY owners that have Nefarious practices and ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, all of AirBNB properties should be audited...I am sure the IRS AND FEDS would find alarmimg ILLEGAL ACTIVITY with those houses and their MANY SCAM FRAUDULENT OWNERS.

I have copies of all the emails I exchanged with AirBNB customer service and they would just transfer me to a new employee that would ask me to explain everything to them like it was new, I spoke to at least 8 people and they would just keep transferring the ticket and acting like it was a new,issues and for me to explain it again like it was their 1st time hearing the complaint. I also have the video of them illegal entering my privated locked bedroom as well, I have the video posted online.

Being a Finance person we need to also look at rates staying so low for so long making it financially beneficial for corporations to scoop up these houses for airbnb and Rentals. Mostly what has caused the inflation in housing prices are the low rates that were kept low for too long. Now we have an adult raising rates like they should have and people are complaining that their IRA and 401K is going down while also complaining about inflation. Why do you think your house is worth so much. Just wait until a lot of these people who were taking out Heloc's on their home value are now hit with higher rates. Along with the revenue decrease in Airbnb owners, and corporations dumping their Airbnb's and Rentals because they can make the same returns with less risk elsewhere.
Hopefully pricing will plunge and allow people to make home purchases again without selling their soul to the bank.
I'm 61 and hv been priced out of housing rent. My area only build large houses. Now looking for a van to live in with my dog and cat. Thanks US for pricing seniors out of rentals!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
You should have spent the last 30 years paying off your own home. Your life choices have consequences!
Excuse me I was single parent who never received child support so I worked 2 jobs!! My daughter was killed at 18 and I had to pay huge funeral prices. I suffered severe health problems that cost me and forced me to into disability. Hope your happy putting down a disabled person. People shouldn't speak on other people lives when they have no idea what their life is like!!! 😠😠😠

You have my condolences on the loss of your daughter. People shouldn't be forced into such dire situations in the richest country in the world, but this is where our misplaced priorities have brought us. I wish there were services available that could help you, but I know the backlog for housing assistance in my area is 2--3 years, and I'm sure it's worse elsewhere. So sorry.
Or let’s say create policy that only allows people to own certain amount of homes. Housing is not a business, it allows families to actually convey generational wealth to future generations. It creates an inflated cost of property.
Will never happen, unfortunately.
Canada: rookie numbers. Rents going up 5% ? Our rents literally up by 50% in a year in some places.

I recently rented out an AirBNB for 2 months consecutively(60 days & I Paid Upfront) while inbetween home leases, I had a private security camera in my bedroom and I RECORDED THE AIRBNB FRIENDS/EMPLOYEES GOING IN AND OUT OF MY PRIVATE ROOM THAT HAD A LOCKED (KEYED ENTRY) DOOR ON.
I reported the illegal entry into my bedroom to AIRBNB and they offered to pay for one night at a hotel because I left the AirBNB immediately after I was alerted by my security camera while I was in a meeting 20 minutes away from the home and I lost out on my remaining month's rent that I prepaid. After a month of NO RESOLUTION AirBNB just deactived my account.
I even emailed AirBNB CEO Brian Chesky for many weeks and I have copies of all my emails, no response. I filed two police reports because the AirBNB owner had their friends come to the house pretending like renters and ATTEMPTING TO THREATEN/INTIMIDATE ME, The police showed up and I recorded the incident. I have copies of the police reports when the police came to,the house and witnessed the AirBNB Owner/Manager friends harrasing me as retaliation because I made the complaint to AirBNB Corporate about the illegal entry into my private bedroom.
I have copies of all the emails I exchanged with AirBNB Customer Service, I spoke/emailed with over 8 employees of AirBNB and they would just transfer my ticket to a new representative every 3-4 days and ask me to repeat my complaint like it was the first time I made it and nothing was done. I also have the video of AirBNB Manager's friends/employees illegally entering my private locked bedroom as well, the video is posted online.
