Re: WTF: Investment Companies Snapping Up Single-Family Homes
This is simple, black rock is definitely buying Realestate as a hedge. We are facing inflation so big players are looking for assets that generate income. Realestate is one form to keep up with inflation because you can adjust rents to keep up with the pace.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35379103


Really quite simple economics, isn't it?

When the economy is FLOODED with currency, that currency loses its value.

More cash means more spending, and equals INFLATION!!!!

Example: One sheet of 3/4 inch OSB plywood that sold for $25 a couple of years ago, sold for $65 a couple of weeks ago. Now, the price is $103.

That is a harbinger of HYPERINFLATION.

That is also an indicator that new homes will be much more expensive to build.

The best investment hedges against hyperinflation are "GOTTA HAVES". Everybody has "gotta have" food and shelter.

That translates to commodities and residential real estate.

Here’s the scoop: the Federal Reserve hired Blackrock asset management company to prop up the economy during 2020. That is the money being used by Blackrock to purchase entire subdivisions in Texas and other market areas. Yes, they are paying over market value, because it’s fun money, they’re playing on house winnings now.

There is a federal prohibition against banks dealing in real estate. I guess that prohibition doesn’t extend to the bank for all banks?

Re: WTF: Investment Companies Snapping Up Single-Family Homes
I'm north of Tampa. My development was built in the 1970s.

Houses are selling at 75% more their value from a year ago. $150k in 06/2020 just sold for $260k.

I'm getting 3-4 mailings a week to buy my house.

Crazy.

That's why I am sitting in my little home for a while. When I am ready to sell, I'll make $$$$$. I was told by an agent you don't even need to update it, just list it.

With the way it's going, I'll need every dollar I can get to buy a new one.

Re: WTF: Investment Companies Snapping Up Single-Family Homes
The monopolization of housing, by large corporations, is also going on. Part of what’s driving housing prices up is huge money-launderers, er- sorry; financial services companies, buying up whole communities at way over asking price, then renting the houses to serfs.

We really would be better off living in Medieval days, right?

They expect to sell at an even higher dollar amount within a couple years due to inflation.

If your home is worth 100 thousand and they buy it for 150 thousand. They will sale it in a year for 200 to 250 thousand.

Its inflation.

Same thing applies to cars, lumber, grains, resources, etc.

Buy it while its cheap.

Inflationary and then a deflationary depression is taking place in America.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78811053


This, 100%.

It's all about the coming inflation that large institutions know is coming, with the amount of gov spending taking place. They are hedging bets by purchasing and holding real estate, investing in improvements on the cheap, and then will re-sell them after the surge has really taken shape.

If you had the cash, you'd be doing it too. The fact that so many large companies with most of the wealth in the nation are doing it should tell you something about future state....

In about 3-4 months when the benefits end, jobs will be “scarce” and i’m sure we’ll see that a lot in the media, heading towards the end of the year. Everything is slowly getting more expensive. So people that wait to get a job, may not have one and be worse off than they are now. The food pantries may not be well stocked like they are now, and any welfare benefits may be reduced.

Yield-chasing investors are snapping up single-family homes, competing with ordinary Americans and driving up prices


My theory is these companies are snatching up single family homes to house or sell to illegals. The left’s desire to eradicate the middle class is strong. As the article states, some of the houses are going for over 100k of asking price. At this rate, we can kiss our middle class to upper middle class suburbs goodbye.

 Quoting: Remedial_Rebel


In the Tampa ‘burbs, our home has gone up $125sqft, list price in under a year. People are literally stalking to buy a home in our neighborhood. (Master planned community w great schools) Everything is selling over list (avg 30k), many as-is, no inspections & majority within 48hrs of hitting market if they make it to listing.

Our area was already experiencing increased values & lots of transplants w new businesses announced before & during COVID, supply was tight when all this started, but there are definitely investment companies moving in & lots of out of state transplants who cashed out w high values where they were to come here.

Rental prices are insane w an example being a currently leased (2yr) 2BR in a downtown high rise, same rent gets you a studio in same building right now- won’t commit to Aug pricing.

We bought the empty lot next to our then new home in 2016. We get letters, emails and calls every single week for us to sell that land to a builder.

It's always AC's who make obscene comments like yours.

My daughter and her husband worked HARD and saved HARD to buy a home. Then COVID happened, they had a baby and house prices in our area started to SKY ROCKET. (Our home we bought for $260K in 2016 is now worth closer to 400K and probably more with people over-bidding). They have been living with her husband's father for a year to save even more and they now have to rent a WAAAAAAY overpriced apartment because they cannot afford ANY home in the area (they got a one bedroom, all that was available to them, with less than 800 sft for $1100 a month.)

Tucker Carlson's show on Fox was featuring a story about the suburbs and how the leftists want to destroy the suburbs by rezoning single family home neighborhoods differently so that apartments can be built.

While just about all nice suburbs have both homes and apartment buildings, and condos, etc., they are kept in good shape.

but if they make the apartments for Section 8 and ex cons, etc. there goes the neighborhood.

When I read about this issue, it reminds me of the first time I visited Poland in 1997. My then boyfriend's parents lived in this dull, dark, towering apartment building that was, of course, built during the communist years. TINY place with thin walls and his parents felt "lucky" because they were allotted a plot for a garden in the "community" land plot.

Then next time I saw apartments like this was when we moved to Chicago in 2000 and I saw the remnants of Cabrini Green (and other projects like it).

They are going to put low-income urban and illegals in these homes out in the suburbs.

When you receive something for free you are not going to take care of it, so homes quickly fall into decay/disrepair.

Things like mowing the lawn, raking leaves, trimming hedges fall by the wayside.

You can always tell the difference between a home that is owned, rented or subsidized housing.

Property values plummet to the point where the original homeowners can't sell and can't move.
