Why Wall Street Is Buying So Many U.S. Homes

[@kevinbl4836]

Why?

[@scottaron949]

@@kevinbl4836there’s numerous reasons… when the hot water goes out, who do you call at black stone to fix it? When your roof is leaking, do they have a department at progress residential to fix it? The answer is no, they just let it ride till the renter gets fed up and leaves, they make a couple of “updates” and throw it back on the market at a 20% rent hike. I have watched this very closely in Jacksonville FL over the past two years and that’s exactly what happens. I have watched families leave at the end of their leases because their sprinkler systems are broken and the corporate landlords won’t fix it. My coworker is the only homeowner on his street of 8 neighbors. He put down 20% and pays a little over $1,000 a month on his mortgage, but his neighbors are paying nearly $3000 a month to rent. THAT is why they should not be allowed to own residential homes

Because multi-billionaires rule America, and what’s good for them is continued cheap labor from people who cannot afford to step into building wealth over time via home ownership and the ability to collect oppressive and always increasing rent in perpetuity from the same people.

Double the already-high pre-pandemic prices, and then double the pre-pandemic interest for good measure. The average American doesn’t stand a chance - and that is the whole point of it all, because it’s a zero sum game.

True. Rent doesn't go into anything. It doesn't go into credit. It doesn't go into owning anything. Your money is just being bled out by somebody who will gladly evict you for missing a payment. Mortgage, on the other hand, will actually go into owning something. It builds credit and future stability for your family. Rent is predatory because it makes a living necessity into an investment. Imagine if you rent your clothes, dishes, TV, etc. It's an absolute nightmare you would only see in a dystopian fantasy.

I've been studying this situation for the past couple of weeks for a paper I'm working on. It's quite a disgusting situation. It's worse when you factor in mom-and-pop landlords and house flippers. In Utah in 2021, 31% of all home sales went to people that had no intention of living in it. You can only imagine how much that extra demand raises prices. It's a game where people with little equity (because they don't own a home) have to out-compete people with tons of equity to get their first home. I'm proposing a large sales tax on home sales if it isn't to be owner-occupied for one year. There would also be a large sales tax for all homes purchased by a business entity. If it's acquired by a business entity without a sale (a person buying it and then "donates it" to their LLC), it will be taxed according to its market value. The tax money would be used to give grants to those needing help with a down payment for their first home. It'll even be the playing field by quite a bit. The other added benefit, it would shift the focus of cooperation to building apartment complexes instead. More affordable housing all around.

@@chickmagnetwampaone that sadly costs money, but we’re doing our best! I’m sure it’ll turn out okay, just maybe more later in life comparable to our parents.

The online information can be extremely misleading. Research other areas in person. Get a map, look around by driving there. You might be surprised at how affordable some outlying, older areas are: the kind of places that are safe yet snooty people would turn their noses up at.

[@kelley4882]

@@vikker8274 we actually ended up finding a home, but only due to extreme luck. We were definitely looking in those places you mentioned, but because of a huge (and I do mean HUGE) investment from a very big corporation developing nearby, the smallest of hick towns around here are going bananas. So it wasn’t that we weren’t trying, or being snooty about it. It was just bad luck. And then good luck.

Living in a mill town, in a mill house, being paid mill money to spend it at the mill store. Our pre WWII grandparents went through this already.

They need to pass a law and not allow this to happen. It drives prices up & the young adults unable to purchase a home.

Large corporations will artificially jack-up home prices and rents. This manipulation

[@arigutman]

Very interesting video, thank you!

[@rkevic]

So in few words the market is being manipulated for profit. Makes sense why these prices are inflated.

[@dlproductions9574]

EVERYTHING is manipulated for profit :)

[@N0N0111]

The funny thing is they control the market, they get to say when the price is going up and down.

Renting is good if you want to move around but you can't build wealth by renting. Rent is getting higher and higher. Buying still remains the preferred option.

[@rondas7772]

If you can afford it!! You can't build wealth in this unpredictable market

[@kingblack3378]

Can’t build wealth on a upside down mortgage. Anyone who brought a house in the last yr are upside on their mortgage.

[@arkzyFn8]

You actually can now. You can invest the difference between buying and selling. Remember there is a ton of money that goes into buying that is not needed when renting. And many markets now it’s cheaper to rent than buy

[@kingblack3378]

@@arkzyFn8 exactly nobody should be buying a home in this market renting is far better at the moment and is also better than being upside down on your mortgage

[@Zoetherat]

I don't think that's actually true. Renting seems like a raw deal after house values and rents have just skyrocketed, but that's just the circumstances of the moment. If this was right after the 2008 housing crash, owning would have seemed like the raw deal. Under normal circumstances, i actually think they're pretty close.
