On a National scale I’m gonna have to disagree. On a local level within a certain neighborhood, maybe. These corporations only own less than 10% of single family homes. Check out this video I talk more about it. ua-cam.com/video/TlrDzpAOiIs/v-deo.html
I just really dont know what we are supposed to do , its crazy to try and own a home with the inflation all the extra expenses like property taxes that are also increasing. My family and i rent because its been our only option but rental prices only ever go up and we are already at $3,000 a month if it really goes up any more as it definitely will than we will be in bad shape. Can only make so much money and they take every last bit. Feels like there is no solution.
You can start by showing up at your city council meetings and standing up for the poor that are already going homeless. Studies show that many don’t start addiction until after being homeless for a time
I can’t imagine making 140K and paying over 3K in a mortgage. We are about at that level, and our mortgage is a third of that. It’s a large house that we bought in 2006. The problem is that at 140K, you are paying higher income taxes. So you keep less after taxes than someone who makes even a little less.
Recently I was involved in the sale of a relatives home in a rural area. The home was not large but had large acreage and great views. (Lake, Valley and Mountains) The realtor’s listing price was at the low end of the market. The final sale price ended up being $75K under the listing price. I do think that most homes are now about 30 to 50% overpriced maybe more when you take into account inflation. The 2008 housing market crash was too extreme but that kind of crash again would not fix the affordability long term.
In Boston we have a first time home buying program and you only have to put down 4% and up. After your second purchase you are required to put 20% and up. Check your local city and town for that same program.
@@blackrealestatedialogue Thanks for the congrats. New York is really not for Land Lords these days. I've been doing it for about 15 years, so I know the ropes. I love your channel. It is very informative.
And this is exactly why I left Seattle. Nobody ever believes me and I tell them that the median housing cost is over $800,000. As a single person making 66,000 a year take home money owning a house was a pipe dream on the west coast.
@blackrealestatedialogue can you do a video on investment property in areas like Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Detroit. I’m looking into investing in cheaper cities to start building a portfolio to retire on, since my generation won’t be able to afford retirement with the prices going the way they are.

Before I watch, will be SHOCKED if Denver, CO isn't on that list! :) We lived there for a few years back in 2012. The last time we visited (almost 3 years ago)? Homes were selling for over 800K with only 795 square feet!
Let’s talk the elephant in the room. As the country / cities diversifies there is more crime and more competition increasing prices. Just one aspect but a large one. Thoughts? Solutions?
The number one rule of real estate investing now is to NEVER invest in any City or state run by democrats who are 100% determined to take away the property rights of landlords to the point where you can't raise your rents to cover your expenses and you can't evict non-paying tenants which is going on in all of these liberal cities right now. I invested in duplexes and quadplexes in Wichita Kansas from 2009 to 2015 . If I had done that a liberal state like New York or California, I would be bankrupt right now. Furthermore, Wichita is very affordable and a person making an average salary there can easily afford an average single family home or duplex to purchase or rent. And rents have remained fairly stable. I've only raised my rents an average of 15% in 10 years. We have not seen these huge rent increases in Wichita like in these unaffordable markets mainly because the government has not interfered with the housing market like liberal governments always do thereby increasing prices and decreasing availability. Unfortunately right now prices everywhere are such that it's very difficult anywhere in the country including the Midwest to buy rental real estate that pencils out with a reasonable cap rate unless it's a real Fixer-Upper and you get a great deal on it otherwise the return on investment is not there anymore unless there's a big downturn in prices and or mortgage rates.
I live in Boston, Mass and you are dead wrong. I have a 3 units house in Boston. Boston is a college town and a family can easily effort these price and mortgage. If you have a 3 or 2 family like myself. You can rent to college students and most are willing to pay 4.5k for a 4 bedroom apt. If you have tenants it’s not bad. In my situation my mortgage is $4,250. That’s very affordable with tenants. I know a lot of people that are working regular jobs and have two or three mortgages. Plus the city is safer than most and jobs pay pretty well for most part. Houses don’t stay in the market for too long, you receive offers on the first day of listing in Boston.
I did point out that homes aren’t staying on the market long there. I’m glad to hear it’s working out for you. Unfortunately with today’s prices + high rates , many everyday people are priced out. I’ve discussed your method on the channel and it’s a good one if numbers make sense, which it sounds like it does for you! Appreciate the comment. I enjoy hearing from locals.
When I hear the incomes required to buy I see hyperinflation and another thing I hear keeping some people from ever owning 🇬🇧🇺🇸
I understand your perspectie

This ridiculous incress is also due to large corporations buying homes and driving up prices for homes.

The property taxes in New Jersey is very high.
They definitely are
Frisco and L.A. are also very expensive
Absolutely

I think those estimated monthly mortgage is with 20% down. Most of the people don’t have that much money.

that's another big issue
I have a few properties in Brooklyn and if you did not buy a few years ago, I would suggest not to buy if you are not making like 200,000.
I agree with you 100%. Glad you got your piece of the pie though, congrats!
