Las Vegans struggle to keep up with the increase in rents

The rising cost of living has brought some people to the verge of homelessness in Las Vegas. Abel Garcia reports.

[@kelvinjohnson4]

Isn’t it crazy how mortgage rates continue to rise with higher imports and declining exports? meanwhile the FED is yet to lessen cost. Something will eventually break if they keep raising interest rates and quantitative tightening

[@UshnicYuvnikof]

indeed the mkt & economy has gone berserk, price of great assets like real estate, dividend paying stocks, or gold never comes down easily, in my humble opinion, buy what you can afford today, and working with a financial advisor certainly helps

[@williamsbrown4026]

Right, since 2020 amid rona-outbreak, I've avoided the drawbacks of trial and error simply by FA assistance. I'm semi-red now, and only work 7.5 hours weekly, with over $600k pulled off after subsequent investments to date.

This is just greed. I own a rental property and have had the same tenants for 6 years. I know I could get an extra 400 easily if I wanted to . I know they are on a fixed budget and if I raised the rent they would no longer be able to afford it. They have always paid on time and have let me know if something is wrong with the house so I can take care of it immediately (instead of ignoring it and causing more damage like a leak). To me the reliability and standards of the renter is more important than the money.

[@bitemoi]

@VegasMike Rare 🤗 Good for you. We've had four landlords since we've moved here (SFR). Always pay on time, not complainers. All were mild to moderate whack-jobs, except for one good one. I will pay to live in their little palaces, but I'll be damned if I'll tolerate them talking to me like I'm their serf. Delusions of grandeur.

[@lynneprestwood7965]

@VegasMike Where are you located and what do you charge for rent? Because our rent is going up starting May 1st, not by $400 but still too much when I am only one working in my household due to 2 people mentally disabled and not receiving much in benefits.

[@Mikenorma]

@@lynneprestwood7965 Unfortunately I have only 1 property on the eastside of town (in area of Sloan and Sahara) and my renters don't plan on moving out anytime soon. Sorry to hear about your situation with the rent hike. I don't understand why owners have to raise rents if not necessary. Again it's greed or maybe they want to get renters out to sell the property (property values have gone through the roof!).

[@effytraveler6155]

One of my favorite towns are dealing with their town being a vacation spot for seasonal owners. They started creating laws that if it is your second home, you pay extra taxes. They end up airbnb the place when they aren’t using it. News articles appear of people who hear partying constantly. The real estate shops are all about vacation rental slots. There was no apartments to rent. The housing commission was dealing with need of seasonal employees and necessary year round employees that could not find a place or afford the rent. They are creating “affordable” apartments for the police, teachers, post office, shops in the neighborhood, parks workers, etc.

Lived in Las Vegas and Henderson Nevada from January 1978 to September 2011. Paid $150 a month no lease, just rent in 1978 with all utilities included, believe it or not for a brand new 1 bedroom apartment on Main st. Near what was called at the time Bob Stupak's Vegas World. The apartment complex was called "The Forest Lane Apartments" across the street from what used to be Smith's Food King. By 2011, same comparable apartments in Vegas/Henderson were going for $800 a month with no utilities paid except trash and water. Not huge increase from 1978 to 2011! Now it's a free for all on what can be charged for leases there. The skies the limit! Glad I got the hell outta there. But the whole USA TITANIC is like that now. A sinking ship going down soon because of greed on all sides. Homelessness will continue to skyrocket with no end in sight. Half the USA TITANIC will be homeless soon.

The homes that were $80-90K five years ago are about $200K now and it's impossible to buy something unless you buy it with all cash. Mortgages are a not even a thing anymore. Whoever has all the cash wins. So I'm very frightened that even rents and home prices in more affordable areas will go up because people with all cash, investors, and generally wealthier people ("wealthy" in regards to the average income of the area) are gobbling up property like it's life or death for them.
