The effects of the downturn are beginning to sink in. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy, or not?
Stocks with yields that outperform the market should be on your radar, as should shares that at least lag the market over the long term. But if you want a long-term strategy that works, I advise you to consult a broker or financial advisor.
Don't depend your market assessments and decisions on hearsay and rumors; I did it in 2020 and ended up with worthless market holdings. Before I started noticing any notable improvements in my portfolio, Helene and I had to completely rebuild it. I've been using the same advisor ever then, and in just two years I've scaled up to $876k. Depending on where you look, a bullish or down market might both produce good profits.
Recently, I have been exploring the possibility of consulting with advisors. As a mature individual, I am in need of guidance, but I am curious to know how truly impactful their services can be?
Hedge funds are even ruining local veterinarian practices. They’ll give a local vet owner like 1 mil upfront, then make all of the vets cram appointments and charge crazy amounts for prescriptions.
As a Canadian, the housing and health care crisis have me so disappointed and frustrated with all of our politicians. They do basically nothing, seeing these major problems develop over years. It's ridiculous.
The best description of the problem I’ve heard is that housing is a federal issue, but housing supply is mostly determined at the municipal and provincial level. So the incentive structure isn’t there to fix it.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
That is the third time I have seen this quote today. I wonder how we can get all this information in a broadcast takeover so everyone sees it all. everyone.
Way to miss the point of the quote by not including the whole quote "The fact that is the everybody in this country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our white brothers out to the suburbs were built with federally subsidized money to the tune of 90 percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The problem is that we all to often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem."
@@JesusChrist-qs8sx the point of the quote IS the socialism for the wealthy genius... why do you weirdos always try to change the meaning to YOUR benefit? Y'all do it with Christianity too.
True. Mega-scale wealth has changed the very definition & nature of greed.... What is really beyond insane are the oligharchs whose objective is to quite literally own all land used for housing _AND_ all land used for food production, & eliminate all the banks so that only the federal reserve is left standing _You will own nothing & be happy_ (or else what?) Arrogance & grandiosity that exceeds the meaning of grandiose itself
This has gone beyond greed. Same families have been wealthy for hundreds of years, they've grown bored of being God. The focus has shifted away from them having more, to you having less.
The problem is that in order to have "permanent roof" with amenities like electricity, gas and water, either the tenant or the owner must somehow pay insurance and property taxes. As a result, a lot of people live in tents, at least in California, where I presently dwell. Not a single mortgage, tax, rent, or insurance. It amazes me how many folks I meet who tell me they live in their cars. This place is insane!
It's becoming more and more insane by the day. Mortgage rates have been rising steadily (already over 7%). I often wonder if I should put my extra money into the stock market and wait for a housing crash, or if I should just buy a house regardless.
Such concerns also come to me. After 50, I'm retiring early. I'm already concerned about the direction the future is taking, particularly with regard to finances and making ends meet. I'm thinking about investing in the stock market for the first time as well, but how can I accomplish so considering that the market has been in disarray for much of the year?
For my part, I can relate to that. My benefits were clear when I started working with a fiduciary financial counsellor. I would always suggest seeking expert assistance in these situations so they can guide you through bumpy markets and simply provide you with indicators and tactics for knowing when to enter and exit the market.
I live in Europe and in my building there are sometimes leaflets encouraging selling the apartment. They are being put to every mailbox, for every apartment. The absolutely worst part those 'leaflets' are made to look like they are written by hand, sometimes they suggest, as they were made by some family looking for future home in this 'nice neighbourhood'. Absolutely disgusting...
But they did. Reagan took away the restrictions, which is how we got to the "bubble pop" in 2008, followed by the same companies who told Reagan it was a good idea, buying all the properties up.
Yeah the government needs to limit the number of all buildings apartment buildings, "single family homes," etc. that any individual or business can own to a low number like 10 or less. Or maybe even 5 or less. I'd prefer the whole concept of "single family home" and especially the draconian "zoning", that's destroying America's young hardworking generations, go the way of the dinosaurs and everything become only and all about HOUSING the population in line with real wages and a genuine functioning housing market that is not controlled by horrible corrupt thieving speculators nimbies banksters and monopolists.
To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
Could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation, and I'm seeking a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize them.
'Melissa Terri Swayne is the coach that guides me, you probably might have come across her before I found her through a Newsweek report. She's quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for the information. I conducted my own research on google and your advisor appears to be highly skilled and knowledgeable. I've sent her an email and arranged a phone call.
ah but then you would be messing with the sacred cow that is the free market. Basically the arguement goes, that in trying to punish or curtail corporations from buying a property, you are infringing on the said property owners right of free association and right to conduct business with and sell to whoever he wishes to, be it a private individual or corporate entity. In all honesty, there really is no simple solution given your Constitutional Rights, especially since Corporation were granted personhood status in 1886 by the SCOTUS.
so funny thing, this all happened because of deregulation of the financial industry that lead to the housing bubble in 2008. which directly lead us to our current situation.
@@Voidroamerfalse. REIT have been around for decades. The 2008 mortgage crash turned Wall Street heads to buying individual homes and bundling them into portfolios that are sold to individual investors, teachers unions and other institutional buyers.
Buying a home is challenging, especially if you're not paying in cash or avoiding a government loan. Even with just the minimum monthly payments on a 30-year mortgage, I’ll end up paying more than twice the value of my home. I was fortunate to buy before the market went wild, so I secured a good interest rate. I can't imagine trying to rent or buy in the current conditions.
I hope to own a home some day, not quite long I started investing. I'm very curious already and need help on how to enhance and increase my returns. Any good investment tips will be appreciated.
The enduring US stock market bull run evokes a mix of fear and excitement, presenting opportunities with insight, resulting in $780k gains in the past ten months, utilizing a portfolio advisor for a well-defined strategy.

Property taxes should be escalating based on number of properties owned. Once you get over 2-3, the taxes should be so high that it's not worth buying more
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.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

How are they not liable? Having to do repairs is nuts. This is basically an Anthem of why the gov should have bailed out the homeowners and not the banks.
And then they wonder why people aren't having kids. If you can't afford a home near a school or just a home in general then why even raise a kid? People associate owning a home and making a family as things that go hand in hand. Lots of people will refuse to start a family unless they have a stable home.

I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?
You're not doing anything wrong; you simply lack the expertise necessary to make money in a bad market. In these difficult circumstances, only really skilled experts who witnessed the 2008 financial crisis can expect to generate a large wage.

What a coincidence!!!
Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

Single FAMILY homes should only be available to FAMILIES. Not corporations that seek infinite profit off of the suffering of people. Once a corporation owns more than a few houses, raise the taxes on them drastically. How is it allowed for a corporation to own thousands of single family homes?
this is stupid. If only families can buy such homes, who is going to build new homes ? It is like the welfare receivers that get free houses and defecate inside them.
Prices are too high. With rates not subsidised in ’24 and mortgage still high , currently seeking alternatives to maximize savings without an RV move or taking a loan. I’m seriously contemplating the latter.
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future.
I'm very cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "Tracy Annette Webb" I've worked with her for some years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Homeowners selling a home can also catch an attitude and say, we aren’t selling houses to corporations we will only sell our property to families who will keep it.
Homeowners will just sell to whoever can offer the most quickest, and that will be huge companies who have whole teams employed to select new houses and also near infinite funds to do so.
maybe we shouldn't treat homes like a market to speculate on and/or reap profit from, but a thing people need when like... contributing to society or whatever. But what do I know, I just clean windows.
There is no legal recourse for the people anymore. This is late stage capitalism, baby. They just want to make enough money to build a bunker to hide in while the rest of us live through the purge
Property taxes should not be assessed to market value. Do you know how high these pricks assess houses every year? 2-10%. Heck off with that. Near thousand increase in just 1 year 2022-2023 and you guys complain about why RENT is so HIGH? lmfao. Put 2 and 2 together. Fix your greedy af government first
My grandmother lives in a starter home neighborhood from the 50s. The older people living there have been, for years, being forced out of their homes because taxes keep rising on them. When taxes rise, the corporate homebuyers come knocking, literally, door to door and buy up the neighborhood. My family and I moved in with my grandmother recently just so she wasn't forced to sell. Everything else around her is now rentals that are deteriorating yet somehow the property value on her house keeps climbing according to the town. It's sad.
Hey now, isn’t it lovely knowing that Wall Street always wins. That makes me feel better to know that I have to pay more for everything from housing, gas, prescriptions, meat, internet, cable, streaming services, credit card rates and healthcare. So happy that I can sacrifice for a couple dozen billionaires. Camel fits through the eye of the needle eventually.

Agreed, it's a cultural shift. People use to build a modest home and pass it down to their kids. Your home wasn't a way to make money - it was meant for your kids to have something. We turned housing into just another commodity.
@@Praisethesunsonif your a private equity firm. Individuals not so much. People sell homes only to buy a new one that is much smaller, and firms also drive up property values which increase taxes and some people are forced to sell because they can't afford taxes.

I remember in 2017 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.
I get where you're coming from with the real estate crash, but I really think stock investment is a better option right now. With the guidance of a financial adviser, you can navigate the stock market effectively and find opportunities for growth that real estate just can’t match at the moment. Stocks offer higher liquidity, flexibility, and the potential for better returns, especially if you’re strategic about it. It’s all about making informed decisions and adapting to the current market conditions!

It's the same in Ireland. Foreign investment funds buying up new housing estates and apartment blocks in bulk to rent out at extortionate prices. This needs to stop. Housing is a necessity not a commodity.
Yep. Unless we shake the government to actually pass laws that prevent corporations this will keep happening. We need to organise in communities and press for change.
We have to organize ourselves because our government representatives could give a damn. We are out here fighting massive corporations while simultaneously being told to pull ourselves up by our boot straps. This is a bunch of BS.
It’s near time that people organize to fight. Plan. Organize. Train. Prepare. Fight. Repeat. Civil respectful peaceful resolutions will not work. They only communicate in the languages of money and violence. Let’s become multilingual.
I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.
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

We bailed out wall street from the housing crisis They took our money and bought all the devalued homes and raised the price to rent the same properties that they caused home owners to default on ? WTF?
Occupy Wall Street needs a part two... Wont happen this year, TBH too much is riding on this election.. like the ability to have a peaceful protest. But it needs to happen soon
they actually bailed out the poor home owners not the bank. The fact that the owner can simply go bankrupt and not payed to the bank the money she owns, is a loss. The state payed for all those millions who had the luxury to default on their homes, instead of paying what they signed that they will pay.
In 2008 the US basically shut down Wall St from buying/selling/trading/leveraging the mortgages...so here we are in 2023-2024 and they said "F it, we'll just buy all the houses then instead"
I say it's high time we change American corporate laws. Here is a message from history ..."I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed"... Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are no primary sources of Lincoln saying that. There are plenty of presidents who rightfully criticized corporations (The Roosevelts come to mind.), but Lincoln himself barely dealt with business.

I can't stand watching the news and hearing about how the economy is improving. Yeah, right. The economy is SO amazing I'll never be able to afford a home. Even if I could afford a home, I would end up being house poor. It's obscene and absolutely infuriating.
Economy/home buying have nothing to do with each other. The economy is the GPD, stock market and jobs reports. You and I are not involved in a good economy report. A good economic report means the rich are getting richer. No one gaf about working class.

These are socialist talking points. They never get down to the real reasons.

I live in a residential neighborhood which is zoned for Single Family Homes ONLY. Directly across the street from me is a home with (hold your breath!) a Swimming Pool AND a Rental unit. I don’t know if the rental unit is a violation of single family only zoning regulations, but that is not a problem to me. I am sure the the pool is legal. Anyway, the street is so narrow that if cars are parked on both sides of the street, there is only enough street left for one car to pass. I have seen my driveway blocked by parked cars. The house about which I am complaining is often rented for one day only for birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding showers, and other events which go on for hours while the street is blocked. I have complained to the zoning department but they say there is nothing they can do. The city has refused to subject the Airbnbs to the local tax on hotel rentals which g ives them an unfair advantage over hotels and motels. I hope that the Airbnb company goes belly up!

@@rorycolganYes but in you case Sir you are doing what have to do in order to keep your business afloat.

Unlike you, they don't lift a finger, plus they don't feel bad or have a conscience and are completely ok with forcing millions of hard working Americans to either ruin their lives by paying insane prices for properties or become permanent renters for incredibly high rates as well.
@nickolasdugginsjr7523 same here, can't go 5 miles in any direction without a new subdivision, apartment complex or warehouse being built. The "new houses" are made of the thinest, flimsiest materials they can find. Even if someone bought one it's not designed to outlast it's mortgage, they'd likely have to refinance around the 20ish year mark for remodeling. Also they're selling people the house but they never said anything about the tiny shred of land it sits on.
I watched it all happen while I was in college. Lobbying is one hell of a drug. I work in banking, Zillow and these other companies that meddle with pricing and market research are the biggest issue.

Capping rent increases is great, but it doesn't stop landlords from issuing no fault evictions and jacking the rent up well beyond %5. When will the madness end?
First you cap rent increases, then you focus on unjust evictions. Like everything else, it's going to be a process of clawing back power from the ultra wealthy.
And then requiring you to live with nonstop problems costing you even more money like roof problems and bad insulation then requiring you to work as their personal landscaper and exterminator.
Here in Canada we have rental caps, if I am not mistaken in my home Province, the max a landlord be they private individuals or corporations can raise you annual rent is 3.5%, so if you are paying C$2000 per month for a one year lease, they can only raise it by C$70 per month to C$2070. It should be noted that the cap was raised from 1.5% in 2023 to 3.5% in 2024, a 2% increase. However, there have been some rather distrubing developments within the rental markets in Canada. Firstly there is an ongoing and cronic shortage of rental units right across the country, causing the cost of rents to skyrocket to where many working people are having a hard time covering their rents despite working full time. This has also lead to corporations snapping up rental housing, either single family homes or apartments from independent owners and basically cornering the market. I mentioned that annual rent increases in Canada are capped, which mean meaning rental unit that are occupied by long term tenets are often paying well below market prices. The rental corporation of course want to get ride of these tenets so they can rent out their units to a person who will pay more money. But in order to evict these long term tenets, they need a just cause. And this is where the recent renoviction craze comes in. Landlords can evict a tenet in order "renovate and update" their rental unit without having to allow said tenet back in at the same old rental rate. Once these "renovationos and updates" are completed, the landlord is now free to rent out the unit for whatever the market will bare. And those "renovations and updates" can be as simple as slapping on a fresh coat of paint or just installing a new towel rail in the bathroom. Not sure what the answer is to be honest, but it does appear that renter in both the US and Canada are getting royally screwed over.

I once saw a news article about a guy who grew up in Cape Cod and was a town council member in his home town, last I read he was moving out of the Cape where he grew up and was a town council and active member of the community because of all the people buying "second" and "third" homes there.
Landlords live off their occupants labor. They provide nothing while they leach from society. Shelter is a human necessity. They’ve capitalized and captured this necessity for their personal gain.
Exactly. Renting used to be a mean for a "secondary" revenue source. Now landlords and house flippers are an insanely profitable "career" they can be as lazy and greedy as they can be and constantly be rewarded for it
Landlords supply accomodation in exchange for money. Just like so many many many many other transactions in the world. Money in exchange for goods or services. Why is accomodation a human right? (A "right" is anything humans allow to freely happen)? And what standard of accomodation is acceptable? Who decides that standard? We don't A L L want the same standard. We don't A L L need the same standard. Over time our wants and needs change. Some people don't know what they want or need. Etc etc etc...
Precisely. It’s incredible how so many Americans miss the forest for the trees on this topic. Enslavement of others is the end that unaffordable house prices are the means to.
Sorry, but since 1886, Corporations in the US have been granted personhood status by the SCOTUS, though challenged numberous times, each time that status has been upheld. There for Corporation are granted the full range of rights and freedoms as any individual US citizen.

They know that homeownership helps ppl build wealth, and get their family out of poverty. CORPORATE AMERICA CAN'T HAVE THAT. SO 50 to 75% of neighborhoods are now stocks. Geezus.
How about the two privately owned home on my block that the owners won’t rent or sell that sit vacant. One for the entire 17 years I’ve lived at my home. The world is in its final rotation before it goes down the toilet bowl
Probably because individuals have what's known as property rights. As long as you don't break laws or local ordnances while doing so and pay the higher taxes generally associated with owning multiple properties, you can do with them whatever you wish.
In the Netherlands there are laws requiring that you have any home you own be occupied and if it sits empty beyond a certain period you pay much higher taxes on it, and eventually can lose ownership of it. Houses are meant to be lived in, and if you're sitting on it waiting to use it as a financial token while working class people can't afford to live, then i can't say what should happen on this platform.
Another problem with houses standing empty is that they are seldom maintained and lose value, sometimes 100% of their value. That is a loss to society. So that law in the Netherlands makes sense. Yes, you can leave a house standing empty, but if you are rich enough to do that, I guess you are rich enough to pay extra tax on it!
As someone who fled the red state of Florida recently after 27 years, I can attest to this. I lived in Tampa Bay, where there has been a housing crisis for years. These corporations swoop in and buy any and everything desirable for cash. In some areas they own most of the neighborhood. Of course, Florida being the regressive, corporate wh_re of a state that it is, nothing is done to provide taxpayers with any relief. The state likes to promote statistics reflecting those moving TO Florida, but the numbers of Floridians moving OUT of the state, due to unaffordable housing costs, is conveniently ignored. If the Democrats really want to ensure a win in this November’s presidential elections (because we know Republicans don’t give a flying *), Kamala Harris would make addressing this crisis a pillar of her platform, because this debilitating, and wholly preventable crisis, is being experienced nationwide to one degree or another.
I don't think the elite would want to address or really bring up any real issue, cause they would have to give up on their income from the companies their families are running.
Florida is not for everyone, just the rich. I'm not rich, so I live up north. There's a place for everyone but if you want to live in a subtropical state like Florida you're going to have to pony up.
I thought I would be slick and I purchased a mobile home... 3 years later a corporation bought out the mobile home park... My rent has increased from the day of purchase... The day they signed the contract my rent went up $75... Every two years since it has gone up an additional $50. Living on a fixed income they are pricing me out of my home... They are such nice people that they will seize my mobile home within 30 days of delinquent payment and impounded... It cost over $5,000 to move the trailer and an additional 2000 to set it up. Bamboozled
My sister-in-law on a fixed income got evicted from her mobile home because she didn't pay her rent on time. The owner had the sheriff block her from going back into her home, and took control of her property. She couldn't move her home because it was too old and wouldn't have survived being moved. The owner is from Australia; she lives in Montana. The whole thing really pisses me off. It's ruined her life in many ways.
Omg. They can seize your home within 30 days of late payment?! 30 days?! 30 days is one bad flu, pneumonia, a short hospital stay, then recovery at home. So you get pneumonia once in your life and you lose your home and all of its contents. 30 days is criminal.
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.
Median household income to median home value ratio was lower in the 90's than it is today; 4.14 in the 90's to 5.6 now. It's not just interest rates, it's also home prices out pacing income.
It is fine for a business to buy a home, but they should be allowed to go bankrupt if they make poor decisions….no bailouts unless the average person gets a similar bailout.
The reason we cannot afford a house: 1. Out of control corrupt government spending devaluing the value of our money and savings. 2. Corrupt hedge funds buying up single family homes in mass. 3. Short term rental markets have expanded and driven prices up massively in tourist heavy markets. Private individuals are buying up homes and renting them out in mass. BRRRR method. Creating another residential Real-estate crisis I'm thankfully able to buy land and build my own house.
Property taxes should not be assessed to market value either. Do you know how high these pricks assess houses every year? 2-10%. Heck off with that. Near thousand increase in just 1 year 2022-2023 and you guys complain about why RENT is so HIGH? lmfao. Put 2 and 2 together. Fix your greedy af government first
Highly suggest looking into conservation easements and farm tax credits if they are available in your area. A common practice by these companies in my area is to buy surrounding properties above asking to drive up the local prices, then the tax appraiser will come 'round to inform you that the value of your land has tripled and so have your taxes, it's an unfortunate market-forcing tactic that I've seen them use to drive people out.

In MICHIGAN if you make a repair, you save the receipt, you deduct it from your rent. If they are Slum Lords, you put the money in Escrow, AND call the inspector. You get them to do the repairs.
The house I grew-up in was $160,000 in 2009. Now the price is $490,000 Not to mention how rent increased from $600/month to $1300. Some people are just shameless. When they take opportunities away from people. In the name of money or pride.
The fact that these companies r “targeting” certain groups of people; “white or black, affluent or poor” so they dont compete w/ each other, has to be breaking federal “equal opportunity for housing” laws. Whether ur a seller or landlord, there r discrimination laws which also include for service animals. Hope ironic that wall street can skirt around these laws. A federal lawsuit should be the next step as more and more people r becoming homeless bc of them.
Thanks to the 2008 crisis and the solution caused this problem. When the homes were re-sold after the foreclosures they were sold in 100 unit blocks Only corporate America could’ve bought them
In 1999, clinton signed the financial services modernization act. The republicans were pushing to allow the integration of commercial banking, financial services and insurance. You could go into your local branch for that type of service. The democrats wanted credit restrictions lifted for minorities so they could afford homes, this is where the 2008 crisis started to gestate. The adjustable rate mortgages were not only granted to minorities but also anyone else, the NINJA loan became common. And corporations saw this coming 8-9 years ahead of time. You can thank DC for the corporate home ownership mess of today.
Why in hell would any private equity or large investors even be allowed legally to BUY SINGLE family homes?! The name alone should exclude all buyers EXCEPT single families!

Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.
The solution would be what that senator proposed which is to limit corporations to owning 100 homes. That way they cannot manipulate the market because they won't own all of it.
The moment people decided that basic shelter is a form of long-term investment and not just, well, shelter, is the moment home ownership become an unattainable luxury as opposed to a basic human right. We build these highly speculative financial games on top of the existing real estate economy that let us profit from the housing market doing hot OR when it crashes, and it’s not clear why. Why shouldn’t shelter be exempt from these machinations? Can’t the gamblers of society be content with stocks, crypto, and other meaningless shit like NFTs? This isn’t even capitalism, it’s some form of financialization of the actual economy… Renting for a living is just an elaborate feudal wealth extraction scheme. A bank will refuse you a mortgage if you don’t have a down payment, but you could be paying the same amount as a mortgage in rent. Doesn’t that beg the question why you’re not just paying a mortgage? Why must I shell out half my wages every month to a landlord and be left owning nothing at the end of it? It’s one of the oldest ways the poor stay poor. There’s no reason that a home should be anything more than four walls and a roof, and cost the same amount that it cost to build it. Even land is abundant… Just look at the humongous stretch of uninhabited land between any US cities. The housing crisis is a result of artificial scarcity.
My bet, even worse is that these corporations will be unable to maintain these houses. American houses are easily damaged due to being built of non-durable materials. Drywall, fiberglass insulation, wood, don't stand up to water damage. So this can eventually yield an expensive to repair housing stock people won't be able to buy and then have to repair. However, this may also be a way to deconstruct the suburbs by creating the opportunity to broadly redesign and rebuild communities with integrated commercial, residential, and office building within walking or easy biking distance. It's an ill wind that blows no good.
That sounds likely, private companies preparing for a more dystopian look when the population growth is absurd and everything is commercialized and privately owned.
Most places don't allow anything other than low density single family homes, so wall street might just replace run down homes with new single family homes built as cheaply as possible. Sure, they won't last forever, but they'll definitely last till the end of the quarter, which is all that counts.
Riiiight, let’s build more humanoid-packed hellholes with constant noise pollution, crime and other urban virtues. These multi-unit boxes built from same material so you can hear your neighbors farting three floors away. What a nice way to spend the life.
It’s actually a very low percentage of homes owned by these types of companies. Far better investments than real estate out there. A simple 2 min research will yield you the same results
This actually has a very simple legal/political solution - a complete ban on companies/firms owning houses. They shouldn't be allowed to buy family houses or even land where those houses stand (uless they are marked for demolition when I guess it would make sense for a company to buy that land but I think it should also come with multiple asterixes). It would help SOOO much and makes a lot of sense.
You could ban, but lots of smaller landlords and multi-unit buildings are run as LLCs or corporations. A limit on how many residences a corporation can own just creates a shitload of shell companies. Actual business structure really isn't the issue, landlords personally owning a shitload of properties in a town is similarly problematic. It's just too profitable at larger scales, and we have a very simple tool - taxes. First home, property tax is normal. Second home, 5% higher, 3rd 15% and so on until you get to like 15th home and there's no way they can afford to hang onto the property and are forced to sell. idk. I'm not an expert, but I'm glad this issue is being addressed because it's goddamn horrific.
@@jeromevorndran2124 don't overcomplicate things - I didn't say a "limit on how many residences a corp can own". I said a COMPLETE ban. They shouldn't even own one. Only a person should be able to buy a house. And if we want to limit the power of individual landlors, then we can discuss limits for how many houses a person can own. I think more than two is already too many for one person and should be banned as well. This would not fix the issue completely as landlords with large families would be able to buy houses under the names of their spouses/children, but with a limit of two, it would still help a lot and such legislation would force a lot of cheap sell outs of homes immediately after its effect.
The effects of the downturn are beginning to sink in. People are being impacted by the long-term decline in property prices and the housing market. I recently sold my house in the Sacramento area, and I want to invest my lump-sum profit in the stock market before prices start to rise again. Is now the right moment to buy, or not?
Stocks with yields that outperform the market should be on your radar, as should shares that at least lag the market over the long term. But if you want a long-term strategy that works, I advise you to consult a broker or financial advisor.

I'd prefer the whole concept of "single family home" and especially the draconian "zoning", that's destroying America's young hardworking generations, go the way of the dinosaurs and everything become only and all about HOUSING the population in line with real wages and a genuine functioning housing market that is not controlled by horrible corrupt thieving speculators nimbies banksters and monopolists.
To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.

In all honesty, there really is no simple solution given your Constitutional Rights, especially since Corporation were granted personhood status in 1886 by the SCOTUS.

Buying a home is challenging, especially if you're not paying in cash or avoiding a government loan. Even with just the minimum monthly payments on a 30-year mortgage, I’ll end up paying more than twice the value of my home.

The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

And then they wonder why people aren't having kids. If you can't afford a home near a school or just a home in general then why even raise a kid?

I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?
Investing in real estate and stocks might be a wise choice, particularly if you have a sound trading plan that can get you through profitable days.
You're not doing anything wrong; you simply lack the expertise necessary to make money in a bad market. In these difficult circumstances, only really skilled experts who witnessed the 2008 financial crisis can expect to generate a large wage.

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
You're correct! With the help of an investment coach, I was able to diversify my 450K portfolio across markets and produce slightly more than $830K in net profit from high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds.

this is stupid. If only families can buy such homes, who is going to build new homes ? It is like the welfare receivers that get free houses and defecate inside them.
Prices are too high. With rates not subsidised in ’24 and mortgage still high , currently seeking alternatives to maximize savings without an RV move or taking a loan. I’m seriously contemplating the latter.
Affording our mortgage is tough as well. I have suggested cashing in, renting or relocating, and investing the rest in the stock market.
If you can afford to relocate, you should manage the mortgage.
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future.
I'm very cautious about giving specific recommendations as everyone's situation varies. Consider independent financial advisors like "Tracy Annette Webb" I've worked with her for some years and highly recommend her. Check if she meets your criteria.
Mortgage rates are at a historic average, the rates before were not normal.
Homeowners selling a home can also catch an attitude and say, we aren’t selling houses to corporations we will only sell our property to families who will keep it.
And renters can avoid leasing homes that are corporate owned
You won’t know this until you move in as the process is run by another company who deeply don’t care.
Homeowners will just sell to whoever can offer the most quickest, and that will be huge companies who have whole teams employed to select new houses and also near infinite funds to do so.

My grandmother lives in a starter home neighborhood from the 50s. The older people living there have been, for years, being forced out of their homes because taxes keep rising on them. When taxes rise, the corporate homebuyers come knocking, literally, door to door and buy up the neighborhood. My family and I moved in with my grandmother recently just so she wasn't forced to sell. Everything else around her is now rentals that are deteriorating yet somehow the property value on her house keeps climbing according to the town. It's sad.
'property value' is the tax base for the city, so why should it not keep rising regardless of market value.

I remember in 2017 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.
I get where you're coming from with the real estate crash, but I really think stock investment is a better option right now. With the guidance of a financial adviser, you can navigate the stock market effectively and find opportunities for growth that real estate just can’t match at the moment. Stocks offer higher liquidity, flexibility, and the potential for better returns, especially if you’re strategic about it. It’s all about making informed decisions and adapting to the current market conditions!
That is very correct. Having the right financial expert is invaluable. My portfolio is well matched for every season of the market and recently it has hit 80% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are aiming for a 6 figure ballpark goal.

I predict a housing crash due to people buying homes over asking price, lacking equity if prices decline further. Foreclosure becomes likely if they can't afford the house, and selling won't yield profits. With anticipated layoffs and rising living costs, many individuals may face this situation.
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

they actually bailed out the poor home owners not the bank. The fact that the owner can simply go bankrupt and not payed to the bank the money she owns, is a loss. The state payed for all those millions who had the luxury to default on their homes, instead of paying what they signed that they will pay.

Always looking for ways around laws.
They still allow them to buy mortgage backed securities. They just call them by a different name - CLOs. Nothing has changed.
I say it's high time we change American corporate laws. Here is a message from history ..."I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country... corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed"...

Anyway, the street is so narrow that if cars are parked on both sides of the street, there is only enough street left for one car to pass. I have seen my driveway blocked by parked cars. The house about which I am complaining is often rented for one day only for birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding showers, and other events which go on for hours while the street is blocked.

We are running out of time. The rv is breaking down little by little. We need interest rates cut and we need to be able to compete somehow. All i can do is pray to God.
I've been working fulltime for 18 years and I cannot afford to live on my own, let alone own a home...
The American dream!
Good for you
so do the vast majority of people, you are not special
Capping rent increases is great, but it doesn't stop landlords from issuing no fault evictions and jacking the rent up well beyond %5. When will the madness end?
Capping rent increases is a duct tape over the gaping line break pouring out raw sewage. The monopolies need to be destroyed
First you cap rent increases, then you focus on unjust evictions. Like everything else, it's going to be a process of clawing back power from the ultra wealthy.
Price caps do not work lmao
And then requiring you to live with nonstop problems costing you even more money like roof problems and bad insulation then requiring you to work as their personal landscaper and exterminator.
Here in Canada we have rental caps, if I am not mistaken in my home Province, the max a landlord be they private individuals or corporations can raise you annual rent is 3.5%, so if you are paying C$2000 per month for a one year lease, they can only raise it by C$70 per month to C$2070. It should be noted that the cap was raised from 1.5% in 2023 to 3.5% in 2024, a 2% increase.
However, there have been some rather distrubing developments within the rental markets in Canada. Firstly there is an ongoing and cronic shortage of rental units right across the country, causing the cost of rents to skyrocket to where many working people are having a hard time covering their rents despite working full time. This has also lead to corporations snapping up rental housing, either single family homes or apartments from independent owners and basically cornering the market.
I mentioned that annual rent increases in Canada are capped, which mean meaning rental unit that are occupied by long term tenets are often paying well below market prices. The rental corporation of course want to get ride of these tenets so they can rent out their units to a person who will pay more money. But in order to evict these long term tenets, they need a just cause.
And this is where the recent renoviction craze comes in. Landlords can evict a tenet in order "renovate and update" their rental unit without having to allow said tenet back in at the same old rental rate. Once these "renovationos and updates" are completed, the landlord is now free to rent out the unit for whatever the market will bare.
And those "renovations and updates" can be as simple as slapping on a fresh coat of paint or just installing a new towel rail in the bathroom. Not sure what the answer is to be honest, but it does appear that renter in both the US and Canada are getting royally screwed over.
In sears catalog in 1910 you could buy a 4 bedroom house shipped to your house by train car that you assemble yourself for $995 usd. That house today go's fot 995000 usd.not to be outdone by American crocks. Building land of 500 sq mtrs 40 km from munich went for 90000 euros to 750000 in 9 years. I know I looked at land 9 years ago and again this year. I am shocked. Weathly investors are buying everything
I once saw a news article about a guy who grew up in Cape Cod and was a town council member in his home town, last I read he was moving out of the Cape where he grew up and was a town council and active member of the community because of all the people buying "second" and "third" homes there.
Landlords live off their occupants labor. They provide nothing while they leach from society. Shelter is a human necessity. They’ve capitalized and captured this necessity for their personal gain.
Exactly. Renting used to be a mean for a "secondary" revenue source. Now landlords and house flippers are an insanely profitable "career" they can be as lazy and greedy as they can be and constantly be rewarded for it
Landlords supply accomodation in exchange for money. Just like so many many many many other transactions in the world. Money in exchange for goods or services.
Why is accomodation a human right? (A "right" is anything humans allow to freely happen)? And what standard of accomodation is acceptable? Who decides that standard? We don't A L L want the same standard. We don't A L L need the same standard. Over time our wants and needs change. Some people don't know what they want or need. Etc etc etc...
Precisely. It’s incredible how so many Americans miss the forest for the trees on this topic. Enslavement of others is the end that unaffordable house prices are the means to.
Goes hand in hand with their nature, to leach from the society that they inhabit.
they provide housing. Go and live on the street, if you do not want to pay rent.
Corporations shouldn't have any rights at all
Sorry, but since 1886, Corporations in the US have been granted personhood status by the SCOTUS, though challenged numberous times, each time that status has been upheld. There for Corporation are granted the full range of rights and freedoms as any individual US citizen.
Maybe everyone should just stop paying anything. Imagine if everyone just said, “Im done.”
Corporations should be required to pay taxes.
@@gumpyoldbugger6944 that's causing too many problems. Corporations never do the right thing.
@Jason-ml3vs corporations would start acknowledging where are the money comes from
An effective short term solution to this is restricting or banning the renting of single family homes.
nobody would ever build a new home. The solution is to build more homes, but the same "saviour" politicians have made that almost impossible, with their regulations.
Subscription services are also renting. So remember that signing a contract is just a lease and debt is basically modern morgaging
It's funny you mention subscriptions... we're losing the concept of ownership. It's pay to play with everything from movies, to features your car already has, but you have to pay to use. It's only going to get weirder...
@@voodooladyink6869 well wanna use my phd in philosophy the humans body is a subscription. you gotta pay to feed water and entertain it on a day weekly and monthly base

All thanks to the Republicans
@@carnivorous_vegan Let's not turn this into the false dichotomy of left vs right. People made bad decisions, now we have to deal with the repercussions and find a way to solve it.
@@mpclepto182 I agree, but the problem is Republicans don't want to deal with repercussions or find solutions. They have consistently shown this.
They know that homeownership helps ppl build wealth, and get their family out of poverty.
CORPORATE AMERICA CAN'T HAVE THAT. SO 50 to 75% of neighborhoods are now stocks.
Geezus.
How about the two privately owned home on my block that the owners won’t rent or sell that sit vacant. One for the entire 17 years I’ve lived at my home. The world is in its final rotation before it goes down the toilet bowl
Probably because individuals have what's known as property rights. As long as you don't break laws or local ordnances while doing so and pay the higher taxes generally associated with owning multiple properties, you can do with them whatever you wish.
Obviously my point soared over your head like a plane. Most people are self centered fucks, why do you think there is a housing crisis!?!?
In the Netherlands there are laws requiring that you have any home you own be occupied and if it sits empty beyond a certain period you pay much higher taxes on it, and eventually can lose ownership of it. Houses are meant to be lived in, and if you're sitting on it waiting to use it as a financial token while working class people can't afford to live, then i can't say what should happen on this platform.
Another problem with houses standing empty is that they are seldom maintained and lose value, sometimes 100% of their value. That is a loss to society. So that law in the Netherlands makes sense. Yes, you can leave a house standing empty, but if you are rich enough to do that, I guess you are rich enough to pay extra tax on it!
“We value money not people” well said
As someone who fled the red state of Florida recently after 27 years, I can attest to this. I lived in Tampa Bay, where there has been a housing crisis for years. These corporations swoop in and buy any and everything desirable for cash. In some areas they own most of the neighborhood. Of course, Florida being the regressive, corporate wh_re of a state that it is, nothing is done to provide taxpayers with any relief. The state likes to promote statistics reflecting those moving TO Florida, but the numbers of Floridians moving OUT of the state, due to unaffordable housing costs, is conveniently ignored. If the Democrats really want to ensure a win in this November’s presidential elections (because we know Republicans don’t give a flying *), Kamala Harris would make addressing this crisis a pillar of her platform, because this debilitating, and wholly preventable crisis, is being experienced nationwide to one degree or another.
I don't think the elite would want to address or really bring up any real issue, cause they would have to give up on their income from the companies their families are running.
The third party candidate rfk jr is making it a pillar of his platform. he would be good to vote for.
@@tulip5210 I think NOT
If you think the Dems care, you drank the coolade.
Florida is not for everyone, just the rich. I'm not rich, so I live up north. There's a place for everyone but if you want to live in a subtropical state like Florida you're going to have to pony up.
I thought I would be slick and I purchased a mobile home... 3 years later a corporation bought out the mobile home park... My rent has increased from the day of purchase... The day they signed the contract my rent went up $75... Every two years since it has gone up an additional $50. Living on a fixed income they are pricing me out of my home... They are such nice people that they will seize my mobile home within 30 days of delinquent payment and impounded... It cost over $5,000 to move the trailer and an additional 2000 to set it up. Bamboozled
smh I saw a guy buy his own land to build a trailer on and the state tried to take that from him too over some bullcrap bureaucratic hoopla
My sister-in-law on a fixed income got evicted from her mobile home because she didn't pay her rent on time. The owner had the sheriff block her from going back into her home, and took control of her property. She couldn't move her home because it was too old and wouldn't have survived being moved. The owner is from Australia; she lives in Montana. The whole thing really pisses me off. It's ruined her life in many ways.
@@bossanova88 pisses me off also
Omg. They can seize your home within 30 days of late payment?! 30 days?! 30 days is one bad flu, pneumonia, a short hospital stay, then recovery at home. So you get pneumonia once in your life and you lose your home and all of its contents. 30 days is criminal.
Get a roommate to cover the rent. Save every penny toward land.
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.
I will be happy getting assistance and glad to get the help of one, but just how can one spot a reputable one?

You weren't listening at all.
Median household income to median home value ratio was lower in the 90's than it is today; 4.14 in the 90's to 5.6 now. It's not just interest rates, it's also home prices out pacing income.
It is fine for a business to buy a home, but they should be allowed to go bankrupt if they make poor decisions….no bailouts unless the average person gets a similar bailout.
The reason we cannot afford a house:
1. Out of control corrupt government spending devaluing the value of our money and savings.
2. Corrupt hedge funds buying up single family homes in mass.
3. Short term rental markets have expanded and driven prices up massively in tourist heavy markets.
Private individuals are buying up homes and renting them out in mass. BRRRR method. Creating another residential Real-estate crisis
I'm thankfully able to buy land and build my own house.
Property taxes should not be assessed to market value either. Do you know how high these pricks assess houses every year? 2-10%. Heck off with that.
Near thousand increase in just 1 year 2022-2023 and you guys complain about why RENT is so HIGH? lmfao. Put 2 and 2 together.
Fix your greedy af government first
Even that’s costly - including in time. Then there are countries where land ownership is not even an option.
Highly suggest looking into conservation easements and farm tax credits if they are available in your area. A common practice by these companies in my area is to buy surrounding properties above asking to drive up the local prices, then the tax appraiser will come 'round to inform you that the value of your land has tripled and so have your taxes, it's an unfortunate market-forcing tactic that I've seen them use to drive people out.

In MICHIGAN if you make a repair, you save the receipt, you deduct it from your rent. If they are Slum Lords, you put the money in Escrow, AND call the inspector. You get them to do the repairs.
The house I grew-up in was $160,000 in 2009. Now the price is $490,000
Not to mention how rent increased from $600/month to $1300.
Some people are just shameless. When they take opportunities away from people. In the name of money or pride.
The fact that these companies r “targeting” certain groups of people; “white or black, affluent or poor” so they dont compete w/ each other, has to be breaking federal “equal opportunity for housing” laws. Whether ur a seller or landlord, there r discrimination laws which also include for service animals. Hope ironic that wall street can skirt around these laws. A federal lawsuit should be the next step as more and more people r becoming homeless bc of them.
Interest rates because of democrat failed policies.
Thanks to the 2008 crisis and the solution caused this problem. When the homes were re-sold after the foreclosures they were sold in 100 unit blocks Only corporate America could’ve bought them
@@Puzekat2 Exactly. All those low cost homes were reserved for Wall Street. I could not find one to buy. Not one. But I could see them.
In 1999, clinton signed the financial services modernization act. The republicans were pushing to allow the integration of commercial banking, financial services and insurance. You could go into your local branch for that type of service. The democrats wanted credit restrictions lifted for minorities so they could afford homes, this is where the 2008 crisis started to gestate. The adjustable rate mortgages were not only granted to minorities but also anyone else, the NINJA loan became common. And corporations saw this coming 8-9 years ahead of time. You can thank DC for the corporate home ownership mess of today.
Houses have gone up 200-300% in the last 3 years where i live.
Yeah they have about doubled in price, and home insurance is harder to get/more expensive.
people always scream government overreach and then ignore the role of corporations
Why in hell would any private equity or large investors even be allowed legally to BUY SINGLE family homes?! The name alone should exclude all buyers EXCEPT single families!
*If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation*
Interesting, This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro Investor?
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source. Consulting a certified financial advisor can offer tailored strategies to optimize financial results by reducing expenses and enhancing income, regardless of whether it's earned through employment or investments.
Brian Humphery Services was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Brian.

Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.

private property shall not be owned by corporate companies. redistribute homes and wealth
The solution would be what that senator proposed which is to limit corporations to owning 100 homes. That way they cannot manipulate the market because they won't own all of it.
The moment people decided that basic shelter is a form of long-term investment and not just, well, shelter, is the moment home ownership become an unattainable luxury as opposed to a basic human right. We build these highly speculative financial games on top of the existing real estate economy that let us profit from the housing market doing hot OR when it crashes, and it’s not clear why. Why shouldn’t shelter be exempt from these machinations? Can’t the gamblers of society be content with stocks, crypto, and other meaningless shit like NFTs? This isn’t even capitalism, it’s some form of financialization of the actual economy…
Renting for a living is just an elaborate feudal wealth extraction scheme. A bank will refuse you a mortgage if you don’t have a down payment, but you could be paying the same amount as a mortgage in rent. Doesn’t that beg the question why you’re not just paying a mortgage? Why must I shell out half my wages every month to a landlord and be left owning nothing at the end of it? It’s one of the oldest ways the poor stay poor.
There’s no reason that a home should be anything more than four walls and a roof, and cost the same amount that it cost to build it. Even land is abundant… Just look at the humongous stretch of uninhabited land between any US cities. The housing crisis is a result of artificial scarcity.
My bet, even worse is that these corporations will be unable to maintain these houses. American houses are easily damaged due to being built of non-durable materials. Drywall, fiberglass insulation, wood, don't stand up to water damage. So this can eventually yield an expensive to repair housing stock people won't be able to buy and then have to repair.
However, this may also be a way to deconstruct the suburbs by creating the opportunity to broadly redesign and rebuild communities with integrated commercial, residential, and office building within walking or easy biking distance.
It's an ill wind that blows no good.
That sounds likely, private companies preparing for a more dystopian look when the population growth is absurd and everything is commercialized and privately owned.
>It's an ill wind that blows no good.
It's a horrendously bad-smelling fart.
Most places don't allow anything other than low density single family homes, so wall street might just replace run down homes with new single family homes built as cheaply as possible. Sure, they won't last forever, but they'll definitely last till the end of the quarter, which is all that counts.
Riiiight, let’s build more humanoid-packed hellholes with constant noise pollution, crime and other urban virtues.
These multi-unit boxes built from same material so you can hear your neighbors farting three floors away. What a nice way to spend the life.
It’s actually a very low percentage of homes owned by these types of companies.
Far better investments than real estate out there. A simple 2 min research will yield you the same results
This actually has a very simple legal/political solution - a complete ban on companies/firms owning houses. They shouldn't be allowed to buy family houses or even land where those houses stand (uless they are marked for demolition when I guess it would make sense for a company to buy that land but I think it should also come with multiple asterixes). It would help SOOO much and makes a lot of sense.
Especially after we bailed them out in 2008. Stop corporate welfare, NOW!
You could ban, but lots of smaller landlords and multi-unit buildings are run as LLCs or corporations. A limit on how many residences a corporation can own just creates a shitload of shell companies. Actual business structure really isn't the issue, landlords personally owning a shitload of properties in a town is similarly problematic. It's just too profitable at larger scales, and we have a very simple tool - taxes. First home, property tax is normal. Second home, 5% higher, 3rd 15% and so on until you get to like 15th home and there's no way they can afford to hang onto the property and are forced to sell.
idk. I'm not an expert, but I'm glad this issue is being addressed because it's goddamn horrific.
@@jeromevorndran2124 don't overcomplicate things - I didn't say a "limit on how many residences a corp can own". I said a COMPLETE ban. They shouldn't even own one. Only a person should be able to buy a house. And if we want to limit the power of individual landlors, then we can discuss limits for how many houses a person can own. I think more than two is already too many for one person and should be banned as well. This would not fix the issue completely as landlords with large families would be able to buy houses under the names of their spouses/children, but with a limit of two, it would still help a lot and such legislation would force a lot of cheap sell outs of homes immediately after its effect.
@@LelekPLNyall seem to br forgetting the only real issue is demand lol, unironically build more housing and end shitty ass zoning
@@ddurlon there are more vaccant homes than homeless people. Demand is not an issue. Housing shouldn't be a business - it should be a right.
If the landlord won’t repair issues, don’t pay rent.
