Yield-chasing investors are snapping up single-family homes, driving up prices

Hey! You stupid ignorant leftist fuck!

The reason rent is so high is because the government wants to make more money off the property than the owners.

Like twice as much. In order to not have go into debt to rent people houses, landlords have to increase rent to meet the city/county/parish's demands.

This is all fouled up. The government does not deserve that money, but they have the power, and demand that high price, and so everybody's (and I mean every fucking body's) rent gets jacked because the government is greedy AF.

If you don't like it, say something about it. Mob the motherfuckers, they deserve it.

They are cheating every single American that pays taxes and rent. They are fucking everybody, and nobody realizes it. Did you, you leftist retard? Of course not. You're fucking braindead.

You're all good with all that, amirite?
After all, the government demands it, no matter the harm to the people. You're all good with paying $1100/mo for rent vs. $550, huh?

Actually, rents are going up because government is forcing landlords to make up for lost revenue from deadbeat renters they can't evict and who won't pay their rent by getting it from those that are paying their rent. Landlords have bills to pay too but aren't able to tell their bill collectors to fuck off, like their renters are, because the government is making it illegal to try and collect the payments due.

I can. That would be me. That's why the stock markets are up so high as well; it's one of the few ways to get a decent yield on investments.

Cawacko is not correct, by the way. The real estate market is soaring because of low inventory due to the pandemic curtailing construction, rising interest rates (= ppl want to buy NOW instead of waiting), and more young ppl entering the market for a home.

Sorry but it is correct. Low inventory is certainly playing a role over the past year but housing has appreciated greatly over the past decade due to low rates (and investors chasing yields). The big companies as referenced in the OP who are buying up all these single family homes didn't come about because of the pandemic. They have been around the past half dozen or so years looking for higher returns as the article referenced.

People have been calling this out for years now.

The place for everyone's investment for the last several years has been on the Stock Market. But, that may change.

As investors made out like bandits on the Stock Market, and as prices on real estate are soaring upward even faster, I believe we are going to see the stock market start to level out as many of these investors are eyeballing REAL ESTATE now and ready to take their fortunes out of the stock market and try to buy up everything in the Real Estate market they can get their hands on.

Fair warning for all you people with money vested in the Stock Market.

You can inflate stock prices- you can inflate real estate prices- and you can inflate the stock market to a point to where it all bursts eventually!

I just believe the Stock Market will be first! And then the Real Estate Market will eventually burst as well. If you purchased recently, you may already be paying more for your Real Estate than your property will be worth after this happens! GOOD LUCK!

That's a different subject.

I thought about going out of my way to provide affordable living for people, until I found out how much I'd be penalized for doing so.

Maybe if I let cows graze in all the yards of a trailer park.. hmm..

I'm looking for a workaround of their greed and bullshit, for a fact.

Pasture/trailer park is looking pretty good! :D
Ofc there's the live livestock on premises factor. How to work people with children into that? Hmm


Maybe the municipalities should get less greedy!
They are raping like 80% of Americans.

"Cost of Housing" is all on them right now.

Real Estate. A good hedge against ---> INFLATION.
 
House flipping is still a hot thing for investors to do. The danger is for buyers as many flippers cut corners, use poor contractors, and accept shoddy work so long as it looks good to an inexperienced buyer. See it all the time.

Had to fix a condo come rental just today. Mis-wired master suite. All the receptacles were on the switch by the door, the required switched receptacle was not wired correctly, the smoke detector was mis-wired, and one bathroom had a non-GFI receptacle in it. There was probably lots more but I was there to restore power to the master suite only...

You maybe right.
 
An underregulated private sector will engage in activities that are not in the best interest of the community.

This is what the right calls "freedom."
If they wish to live in a civilized society, however, they can simply not be afforded that level of freedom.
If they further resist, more Draconian restrictions on their freedom is what comes next.
Prison comes to mind.

you can blow me for all that misinformation........at least insofar as it does not apply to what i'm experiencing here in DFW area. so many californians are moving her that the sellers market has driven prices higher than most properties are actually worth. Overpopulation here has little to do with the pandemic and/or affecting construction..........your sources are crap

In other words, you lost the argument so now you'll go after the sources. In my original response to the OP I listed low inventory/high demand as one reason for soaring real estate prices. Thanks for confirming that, even though you said it wasn't true earlier. lol

in your post you said it was due to the pandemic and halted construction..........that wasn't the case. So I did not lose the argument, you posted bullshit info

It's a problem.

Basically, middle class renters will be forced to pay more not only because their neighbors were forced out of work by the Nazicrat CovidScam (or they just decided that if they didn't have to pay rent they wouldn't), but also because of Nazicrat policies designed to protect these neighbors.

It's a shitstorm waiting to happen, and all courtesy of the Nazicrats.

It does not portend a happy ending.

Kind of like musical chairs, but the reverse of it. As long as you get out before the crash, you're fine. But if you can't get out in time, and are forced to stay in and able to survive through the recession, real estate always comes back.

So what happens to a portfolio of properties when the holder goes bust? They get dumped cheap. That's a good time to buy, if you can.
