Hey Grant, I am currently living in a 350sqft micro apartment and it is not worth the $815 rent, to get the price that low a lot of corners have to be cut, complexes think they can shove a couple more apartments in because of the small areas but everything keeps breaking because of the overload on the building itself, please consider the full picture if you want to do this, take a lot of precautions

[@Double0pi]

My youngest started his adult life living in one of those houses you talked about--6 bedrroms, all rented to separate people. There was way too much drama for him! He still has a roommate in his new place, but at least he only has to deal with one. And the cost per person is about the same.

[@KB-vg1nu]

It's not always possible to get an apartment for someone who can't afford a deposit, first and last month's rent, a security deposit, or who doesn't have a good score. This is a good stepping stone for those who are on the brink of homelessness.

[@Double0pi]

@@KB-vg1nu Agreed. It was a good starting point for him, and for some of his roommates, that sort of living arrangement was an absolute necessity. I have considered buying a house to rent out this way.

Regarding your idea at the end, in Toronto, there was a hotel that converted half their units into microunits for ling term tenants. I think it makes a ton of sense. These hotels may be on prime land, already have the necessary utilities running to most of the rooms. Would be great for young ppl who might be out of the unit at school/work and don't need a "proper" full size kitchen. I think it would be an awesome idea and would add affirdable housing to a dense area.

most people are 90% destined to be slaves they have no business owning or renting live in a van by the river is what the elites want. the only way to combat this is to walk your own way and ignore them DO not over pay for housing beyond budget ever if you can help it under pay no matter what. live in a van by the river is best today there is no point renting or buying right now. let the industry burn. even if prices go up continually leave it alone instead build it buy land put a manufactured home on it NOT rent a lot never rent a lot or anything. walk the extra mile and build it.

[@eldorado3523]

@@michaelbrown5828 If you capitalize housing to its limit without allowing people to pay for it, you're literally going to destroy your economy, and we're already seeing that happenning: less money circulating, low birth rates, less working class people, pension funds getting hit hard, more social programs drying out state budget because people and companies aren't able to be self suficient, less economic stability with higher frequency stock market crashes, etc. In 30 years the first world economy is going to shrink to pre 2010 levels.

[@c.m.303]

When I was in my early 20's I had the best studio apartment ever! It was an old building with tall ceilings, tall windows with a ton of light but just a tiny kitchen and a partial wall dividing the living room and sleeping area...which led to the bathroom with a wonderful clawfoot tub. The setting was fantastic...high on a hill over st. paul. Stepping out the door to see the Grand St. Paul cathedral across the street was breathtaking! Look to the right was the gold covered capital all while being on prestigious Summit avenue. I was able to walk to work, and pretty much anywhere downtown. I was young, going to school and loved it. 1/2 the neighbors were young, the other half were elderly, but I think everybody appreciated being there. It is a shame that society thinks everything has to be bigger and bigger. People have forgotten how to live and be happy, far below their means. That place was rather small...but it was light, bright and perfect for me at that time...and now over 30 years later I live far away but...I still have fond memories of that cute little apartment even though MN has gone to the dogs. I hope you are able to find a way to recreate this...but not like the tiny home phase that just gave a small box at the same price of a normal house.

Many low-income renters with very tight budgets are disabled - a micro-apartment is likely NOT going to be suitable for many reasons. For someone young, fit, and unattached, a 300sq foot crash pad might be great... but then, they probably have better opportunities to make additional money and can afford more than those truly in need of low-income housing.

Hate to say it, but Graham might be out of touch with this take. A studio appt in a C class neighbourhood, runs for $1200 a month, and we'd have to add another $600 on top of that for utilities, wifi and laundry - even in HOU, TX. With these interest rates, the rental comps are 80% of the DSCR mortgage at an average. We need creative solutions for both side of the fence

[@MelleHartley]

I don’t know why people single out Airbnb/STRs as the only source of a “bad tenant”. You can easily get stuck with a bad long term tenant and they have way more legal rights to stay in that property than a short term tenant. I think there just needs to be more of a vetting system in place for all tenants - and even landlords - because everyone should feel comfortable with the situation whether they are a renter or a landlord.

Graham! Can you do a video that goes into detail as to why someone should consider putting their home/ properties in a trust? ;And I promise to smash the like button.

[@whasian2007]

For most people there is not much benefit to putting a property in a trust. You will pay yearly for the trust to maintain it so it is an added cost. You do get the privicy since a trust is not public record so if thats the main reason then go for it. It bypasses probate which is nice i guess not something i would really care about. The "tax benefits" are basically it is not counted as part estate for estate taxes but you have to have over $13.6M estate if single or $27.2M estate if married to even incur estate tax. If it's an investment property then you can get charged the income at the beneficiary's tax rate. Other than that there isn't much benefit so if the yearly cost is worth it to you then do it.

[@j10001]

There doesn’t have to be a yearly cost for a trust. A trust is just a contract between people.

[@whasian2007]

Man im glad graham warned me a sh*t ton in this video about vetting tenants before i rent my condo lol.

[@chemicalhalf]

I own a flat in London and the leasehold (contract) specifically states that I am not entitled to parking. It's different to housing in the US for sure, but I think due to the huge number of residents and density, they have had to do things like this -- not allow every resident access to parking. I believe I am able to purchase a parking spot from someone else separately if I wish, but I cannot get parking with ownership of my existing property, nor can I even get parking via the city council I live in, with ownership, which that itself is pretty interesting. I never had a car there and probably wouldn't as the property is in central London but I think for properties that are in city centres, they could easily do away with parking requirements, or drastically reduce parking spaces, and preferably increase green space, which is severely lacking in most cities anyway.

It seems like there's a big trust issue for landlords and tenants.

I'd be willing to rent with one other stranger if interviewed them first and felt like they were trustworthy and there were noteworthy benefits but if it costs about the same to be in a cheap studio, that would be my person choice.

The solution to lower apartment and housing cost is for the city and state governments to lower property taxes and levies. Property taxes get higher the more apartments you cram on a property which is past on to the renter since the land lord has to pay higher property taxes now. Property taxes should be flat and not increase the nicer you make your yard or increase the more buildings or units you have on your property.
