93,000 New Homes Built Are BUILD TO RENT!!

Rental home construction is booming as developers aim to benefit from high home prices and mortgage rates, which are preventing many families from buying homes. In 2023, an estimated 93,000 new single-family homes intended as rentals were built, a 39% increase from 2022 and an all-time high, according to John Burns Research and Consulting. These new rental homes are particularly popular in rapidly growing suburbs in states like Arizona, Texas, and Florida. For instance, Kairos Living, a Chicago-based rental company, has been developing numerous rental properties in Baton Rouge and other Louisiana cities. Following last year's record, about 99,000 new rental homes are currently under construction nationwide, though new project plans have slowed due to tighter lending conditions.

[@handymack5324]

You have no way to stop the build-to-rent trend when it is so expensive to own a home. Even if they build to sell, the pool of home buyers is dwindling because very few prospective home buyers are confident enough to handle monthly payments in which greedy property taxing and insurance are competing for income earmarked for an already hefty mortgage. Builders are offering lower prices plus incentives, but counties are not reducing property taxes, and insurers only want double digit increase in premium (all in the name of climate change, if I may) . It is unrealistic to expect interest rate to go down, it is kept this way to correct the problems caused by the irresponsible suppression of rates beginning in 2000 to near zero till 2022 when the fed finally reversed its direction to combat massive inflation. Now we are having a normal rate, not a high rate. There will be no silver tsunami, because retirees cannot afford to downsize even if they become empty nesters, because when they buy another home, their property tax will double. The culprits are the counties and insurance companies. If those two are resolved, the true demand and supply relation will function again.

@@KristinaSmallhorn this is not the free market. Would you rather that private equity not invest in housing? They are providing a service for people at market rates. This housing should only be for owner/occupiers? Is the answer is more govt regulation? Please explain. Who promised you the American dream? Why do immigrants still want to come here if the American dream is dead? As they say in the south, you have some splaining to do….

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's true that private equity plays a significant role in the housing market by investing in properties and providing housing at market rates. This is indeed part of the free market, where different entities, including private investors and companies, can own property and rent it out. The question of whether housing should only be for owner-occupiers is complex. While homeownership is a significant part of the American dream for many, not everyone may want or afford to buy a home at different stages of their lives. Renting can provide flexibility and mobility that owning does not. The problem lies where all the affordable homes are now being scooped up by private equity and people have no choice but to rent even though they qualify for a home loan. There is no supply because private equity has bought the most affordable homes. As for government regulation, it's about finding a balance. Some level of regulation is necessary to ensure that the housing market is fair and that tenants' rights are protected. However, too much regulation could potentially discourage investment and reduce the supply of available housing, which might lead to higher prices. The American dream, including the aspiration to own a home, remains a powerful motivator for many people, including immigrants. It symbolizes opportunity and stability, which is why it continues to attract people from around the world. These are complex issues with no easy answers, but open dialogue about these topics is crucial. We must continue discussing and evaluating our policies to ensure they meet the needs of as many people as possible.

Well. Someone is going to be broke. People are preparing for depression. The recent food increases and the fact that the big four are pressuring small farmers out of business, has made it necessary to move far out into the countryside to raise your own food. And unless you want the multibillionaires forcing you to eat meat produced with bugs, you might want to consider buying a small plot far out into the countryside yourself. A small land plot will give you room for a garden and cost you less in taxes. Border the property with shrubs to hide your propety from would be thieves. These billionaires wont be eating bugs, you can bet. They dont have to worry about keeping employees any longer due to AI and robotics. We can slow them down by not buying or renting from these wealthy corporations. Its my understanding that 10,000.00 robots have been ordered by one of them. Never move into an area with an HOA. HOAs are already taking homes in Florida. A large lot, hedged with shrubs and above ground growing beds would be better than eating bugs.

Question what I have to say is all of you all that are making these videos why do you just fall and give in and except anything they dish out and then some of you are smiling and joking this is no laughing matter why don't you come together and fight this is why they do what they do because they know you're just going to lay down and except it

Why is it that every video you make you try and scare people? You might call it informing people. I call it scare tactic and most of the time, it’s info we already know.

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

You’re entitled to your opinion of me and how I convey information. I would tell you since you don’t like the way I do that you find yourself another channel to watch. There are literally millions on KZbin to choose from.

[@Nottallblonde]

@@KristinaSmallhorn you put yourself on social media and you can reap the consequences

[@KristinaSmallhorn]

@@Nottallblonde truth. 😂

[@vickieclark5931]

@@Nottallblonde That is very true. Those that are on social media do have to deal with trolls like you that complain but continue to watch. LOL

[@Joce123]

If that's your opinion why do you even bother to watch the podcast (if it's everything you already know)? How silly.

[@objektivone3209]

Loose claims and mudslinging are sloppy and uninteresting and very American. If you want to grow your channel, you need to find the root cause of the housing market movement, otherwise you're just another eccentric Mayfly in its own cheese bell.

She always goes directly for the evil throats of greedy capitalists. You clearly need to go back to kindergarten.

Boomer politicians and boomer voted policies

Kristina sure has silly people commenting. I watch her channel because I sometimes learn something. She gave helpful information that is relative to my sister who lives in Louisiana regarding how property is treated upon her spouses death if there is no will. I watched her because I want to watch her more than I want to watch something else.
