Investors are buying up residential properties in South Shore

[@waldenharvey1278]

Tired of them propping up the property bubbles. Make housing affordable again. It's not a crisis to have too much supply to allow people to buy them cheaper. I'll buy something there if the price is right. Tired of these ridiculous $400K+ prices for houses.

[@tammystut]

The real problem is our gov't allowing this to happen to begin with. We can't blame the innovating businessman.

[@richarddamien4654]

I wish houses were $400k+ around here. Try $1.2m!

[@patrickjones1392]

it's just reasonable to explore other finance sectors and diversify your portfolio with the guidance of a financial advisor. This strategy has significantly boosted my own portfolio by 80% in the last year alone, now valued at $1.2 million. Consider this: as a savvy investor, you wouldn't prioritize a fairly-valued house with a $100k mortgage over a highly overvalued one with a $700k mortgage, would you? The latter offers far greater lending and interest opportunities. This is why banks often inflate asset values and avoid price discovery in real estate. Meanwhile, governments also benefit from higher property taxes and assessments. Unfortunately, this creates a system where high real estate prices persist, benefiting most parties involved except home buyers. However, it's crucial to recognize that this bubble will eventually burst. Diversification and expert advice can help you navigate this complex landscape and make informed decisions.

If you've been in your home for 50 years then you don't have a mortgage and haven't had a mortgage in 20 years. So the problem isn't a small tax increase. Its that 4th 5th or 6th 2nd mortgage you took from the bankers and still didnt do home repairs. Maybe went to las vegas and brought new furniture instead. Sell, take that profit and count that as a win if you have to.

That’s happening big time in Florida too, our leaders have been both bought.

This is the new trend. Everyone is looking to be an investor and buy low and sell high.
