    When you don't own anything and are simply working to pay someone else, it's called feudalism. Welcome to our new overlords.

      When feudalism becomes inescapable, violence will become necessary. The fat cats on wall Street always looking to exploit the nation for greed, then ask for bail outs from the same tax payers they were exploiting. No more bail outs!

      I agree. Social capitalism is exactly what this country needs. Not crony capitalism which is what we have today.
      People need to recognize the difference and how we used to be a social capitalist country under FDR and Eisenhower but we started to turn into crony capitalist country especially after Reagan implemented side supply economics also known as trickle down economics. Fast forward to what we have today, corporations and top .01% wealthy elites controlling the governnent to write laws in their favor. They hate regulations because they don't want to work hard. They don't want to follow the laws. They want to freely do whatever they want. We really do have two tier court system. One for the commoners and one for the .01% wealthy elites. We really do have the problem of treating our wealthy elite masters with kiddie gloves when it comes to push.

    My husband and I were extremely lucky. We were living together in 2007 - unmarried at the time - in an apartment complex and hated apartment living. Sharing walls, floors, and ceilings with others sucks. He proposed, then the housing market crashed and we immediately started looking for a house. Everyone was saying don't buy a house because of the market, but I knew they were completely wrong on that one. We bought a foreclosure for 215k, which was 100k less than the previous people bought it for in 2006. Our home today is worth over 400k, pretty much double what we paid. We couldn't afford to buy our own house today. The rent on our house would be over 3 times our mortgage payment. The real estate taxes are awful, but we've worked hard to pay off our home early and will be done in 2 years. Best decision we ever made was buying our house.

      If that's the case, there really isn't anything "sickening" about it. If nobody was in the market to pay $400k for a house that was selling for $200k just last year, they'd have to lower the price. But if there ARE people willing to pay that amount, that's just free market economics. On a smaller scale, if you had something for sale and one person offered you $50 for it, while another person offered you $100, which offer would you take? If you choose the latter offer, can the person who offered half as much claim that you're just a greedy capitalist? Of course what the video is discussing is a bit more devious than that, because these rental companies are using massive capital to buy up available properties and FORCE people to rent because they own all of the inventory, but what you're talking about is entirely different because those same homes are going right back on the market and selling for a much higher price.

    My small village of less than 800 people started doing this by having the richest people in town buying out all the housing, and renting it out. Basically, preventing any new actual homeowners from coming in. Not only is this controlling, but essentially the beginning of feudalism in my area.

      Republicans made the tax laws that allow them to do this. Blackrock can buy 60,000 homes and depreciate every one of them every year. You scrimp and save for a decade to buy one, and you can never depreciate it one penny. Forty years of Republican tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy and corporations have allowed this and all the other perks and benefits they have given the wealthy. Demand change, demand forty years of Republican tax cuts for the wealthy be repealed and the loopholes too. They have all been added to the deficits by Republicans, giving us the national debt we have.

    They don't want you to own a home because rent means they can take away your home at any time, it gives them leverage over you so that you have to constantly work, live by HOA standards, and be evicted at a moment's notice or other factors.

      Read your deed to your property. I'll guarantee it does not say you "own" the property. It will, more likely, say you are a tenant (tenants in common, etc.). There is no such thing as "ownership" since the "Allodial title" was done away with, in Tennessee, in the 1930's. An Allodial title was actual ownership of real property. The closest thing to actual ownership, now, is the Fee Simple Warranty Deed, which is not actual ownership. Do your research. Surprise!

      Most powerful thing to a certain extent... for example, there's a little more sense of freedom as an "owner" to reside in it, and there's also the option to bank on it by renting it out for a decent monthly return of investment... but even if the property is completely paid for, stop paying those property taxes and see who really owns it afterall. It's all smoke and mirrors, really. Some of us are the magicians, and most of us are part of the audience... and we all know that it's just a trick.

      The other thing I don't see people mention enough is that living in apartments absolutely sucks. Walls are usually way too thin, upstairs neighbors tend to stomp too much, and there's just a complete lack of privacy in general. Even if you have good neighbors there will be normal living noise, which is still highly annoying to me personally. I don't want to hear it and I don't want them hearing my normal living noise. I don't believe non related people are meant to live that close together. Can't watch a TV very loud where you can actually hear and enjoy it, or listen to music...and when you have bad neighbors your life will be HELL. The lack of privacy that comes with apartment living is unacceptable for a long term living situation for me. I had no choice but to live in apartments for years and I hated every second of it with a passion.

The lady we bought the property from was in her late 80s, she was just ready to move on to a retirement community, plus our property is fairly large and it was just way too much for her to keep up with at her advanced age. We were very fortunate, not only was interest rates pretty much rock bottom, but this was during the height of the pandemic so there really wasn't anyone to buy the house to begin with (outside of investor firms). The best part was that the previous owner was willing to take off 15K, she knew we were first time buyers and her only requirement was that we took care of the property, and loved it the way she did.

    My advice to anyone who is renting. Stop waiting for the dream home to be in your price range, and buy what is in your price range. Then slowly fix it up by doing the work yourself (yes learn new skills). This will both make your house nicer to live in and increase your equity. Finally, sell your current home and take that equity and use it to buy a home with the bones of your dream home, and fix that up to be the house of your dreams.
    This process takes years, you may need to do it more than twice to get to where you want, and it requires a lot of elbow grease, but it works.

The homes that are for sale are too expensive for most of us. Also, even after you pay off the home, you still have to pay property tax, so you're still paying a fee to live on your own land.

The rents were jacked up and the deposits, pet rent and other fees were so exhorbitant I was in despair. Fortunately, I was able to purchase a small manufactured home in excellent shape. While I don’t own the land, I do own the house, and my mortgage and lot rent are about $800 cheaper than most brick and mortar homes for rent in the area. This was the best move I could make in my tax bracket and it was not a perfect choice (I would prefer to own the land).

We’ve been in a rental an hour away from San Antonio for two years. Our rent is $350 more than our mortgage payment. We’re stuck paying someone else’s mortgage for them.

The best that will happen is small to moderate decreases in values and pricing and sellers helping with closing costs to the tune of a couple thousand dollars. If you still have the land, perhaps look into a mobile/manufactured home such as a double wide. You may need to first go through the financing of the mobile home makers but you can immediately refi to a Fannie/FHA loan with lower interest.

They still cost, but if you do your research and think outside the box, you can literally build a _starter_ home in the traditional sense (one that becomes the core of a larger house over time.)

Renting is a losing financial proposition and it will destroy the economy, since people will be using more and more and more of their income for rent, instead of spending it on the market.

      I'm currently in that area and scared out of my mind for what will happen at the end of our lease in May. Our landlord has been incredibly nice and we pay $1,900 a month for our 3 bedroom house in a good community. I noticed a new rental house on our street the other day and looked up how much they're wanting a month. $2,500!! My husband lost his job a few months ago and has to travel to Austin M-F for work while I'm here with our 2 kids. I have no family or friends here, I do it all alone. I can't sleep at night knowing in May we will be scrambling to find a place on one income. We have a couple of pets too so an apartment will not work and 2 bedrooms are already a median average of $1,700/month. It scares me knowing we will most likely never own a home because our savings have been depleted. And like I said, our family lives 4 hours away. I've been in a funk for awhile and it seems like a dead end.

    Its been happening in Greensboro, NC for the last 8 years. Any stitch of land available they are building apartments and rental home communities that have built apartments in addition to the build to rent houses that were currently on the property. It's insanity. I was glad I listened to my real-estate agent and ended up getting something when rental rates soared above what most people could afford. But sad I didn't know enough to get a home when the market was affordable in 2015. In 2022 when I stated hunting for affordable homes, those would get so many offers, I couldn't even compete. One home had 35 offers on it. It was insanity. As a single person, I couldn't compete. Thankfully I had a friend selling her place this year and gave me an incredible price and I got a great fixed interest rate from my credit union (5.6) especially when they Fed raised rates around 7 to 8%. Right now unless you make six figures you can barely afford anything especially since investors invade buying up apartments and raising rents.

They were both totally convinced that it is always better to rent than buy. The fact that each of their 1000 sq. ft. apartments cost more than twice per month what the monthly mortgage is on my 3000 sq. ft. home is. They argued "Of course it is cheaper, you bought 20 years ago..."
    Yes, that is the point. My mortgage is the same now as it was 20 years ago. Their current $2000 per month rent will be $4000 per month in 20 years. A $2000 mortgage payment today will still be $2000 in 20 years.

She has stayed away from the real estate market for a few years now in order to focus on her personal home business. Recently, my 30 year old sister decided she's ready to buy a house here in Colorado. Her husband's neighbor recently passed away by an accidental death on vacation. They decided they wanted to buy that house since it was in the same neighborhood (just down the street). My mom worked hard on the contract for months. It came down to a bid war last week. Without even offering a counter bid they sold the house off to a rich investor so he can rent it out. To put it lightly my sister and her husband were devastated, and so was my mother. She was exhausted from working hard on the contract day and night even with her multiple sclerosis and really needed the money as she doesn't have a retirement fund. They never even let them counter offer more than once. This was in the Denver, Colorado area.

One thing you said that really stuck with me was how you used your money from your first house to put into your second. That was my plan too but the second house that would have been 50-100k more is now 200-300k more than my current home and even if I put every dollar of "profit" into the new home I'd still be looking at a monthly payment over double what I pay now which wouldn't be prudent given the state of my industry.
    Funny thing is that I bet there's government money to build affordable homes but it probably goes to large companies who understand the system and who build 1 affordable home for every 20 they profit bigly off.

I own my home right next to a "Sober living " house, nothing sober about it. The police or fire rescue are there at least twice a week for years! I have seens fights, mental break downs. Also a high turnover rate. Any of the tenants that I got to know or are friendly with never last too long anyway. From what I hear , the government gives the landlord $600 per person, they put 2 people in bunk beds in each bedroom . So the house next to me has 6 unstable adult children at a time.

I guess they didn’t learn from their failed state of CA that it doesn’t work because who pays for all that free shit? They would have to raise property taxes and eventually causing the same problem they’re trying to solve.

    Back in 2012 at the bottom of the market I bought a house in decent condition in a good neighborhood for under $20K. It was bank owned and had been sitting for a couple of years.I pulled the money from my 401K because I felt this was a once in a lifetime deal. I tried to get some of the people I worked with to do the same but not one person did. To me the best thing everyone can do is arm themselves with knowledge.

    We live in central Texas, about 30 miles north of Austin. There’s a rental home development next to our residential development. Huge apartment complexes are being built in all the towns/cities within commuting distance to Austin. Also “apartment homes” retail developments and mini-home/2 unit condo developments. New & existing single family homes have doubled in cost & are out of reach for most first home buyers. But the building rate & scope/size of new apartment developments is truly astonishing.

      Before 2008, they were giving "no money down" loans out, and even letting people borrow more than the value of their homes, which helped bring about the housing crash. So that was 15 years ago, and the banks finally got those houses off their books. This commercial real estate investing taking up so much of a larger portion of the residential real estate market is what is causing housing prices to artificially inflate, by converting home sales to rentals. The potential damage is incalculable, but it is huge. The Government is going to have to put controls in place, or things are going to become very, very bleak for the consumer. And I don't mean pricing controls, which would make things worse; I mean commercial real estate investing should only be limited to a certain percentage of the individual housing market.

The typical limit on income is around $30K for a single, $40K for a couple. The reason the towns are doing that is to hit the requirement on the amount of low income housing the fed demands being in each locale. Seniors are less trouble than 20-somethings as the 20-somethings have kids, loud parties, drugs, shootings, don't take care of their units, couples fighting at 2AM. Seniors are quiet, well-behaved, the cops aren't being called out to break up fights or pick up bodies after drive by shootings. So, yeah, I can see why towns go with low-income buildings for seniors.

      @@rjbradlowif he can’t afford a 450k home what other option does he have. Stop blaming renters. We are trying to buy but there’s nothing out there.
