So if someone wants to rent a single-family home you want the government to tell them they can't.

Where will renters live?

CBaass

I think he was hinting that if there was no rentals then houses would be cheap

Ownership of real estate his heavily subsidized through favorable tax treatment

Mrs Featerbottom

4/12/21 11:36am

Interest deduction on single-family residence and depreciation on rental homes.

grandpacoug

4/12/21 11:48am

Actually most of the subsidies were done away with under the Trump tax cuts

Nat Gas Man

Correct. I keep forgetting about you guys in hi value homes & loans. F&C is good

grandpacoug

4/12/21 1:32pm

You know a lot of people rent because they can't or don't want to buy right?

cracka

4/12/21 11:36am

They cant buy because too few SFHs are on the market for sale due to “investors”

valleus

What percentage of homes are rentals?

Mems

4/12/21 11:44am

Thank the stimulus: $6T of money finding a home.

byujdmba

4/12/21 11:55am

Or they can't buy because they have bad credit, etc.

cracka

4/12/21 12:00pm

Some. Many others can’t buy because no one will lend them several hundred

Renting out single-family homes to singles is killing young couples.

inflation is a runaway train pushed by the most powerful entities in the world.

MormonThug

4/12/21 11:41am

By far the best solution. Investment should be in companies, not houses. Greedy

valleus

4/12/21 11:42am

So you have to live in an apartment unless you want to buy a house?

Mems

4/12/21 11:43am

No, but we shouldn’t subsidize owners renting out their SFHs.

valleus

4/12/21 11:45am

So where do they live if homes can't be rented?

Mems

4/12/21 11:45am

valleus

4/12/21 11:54am

I can't discuss it if you can't make a coherent point

Mems

4/12/21 12:00pm

How are we subsidizing rental owners?

Cougforgood

4/12/21 11:50am

They have a need to raise taxes on everybody.

CougCoug3

4/12/21 2:02pm

so then the only renting solution would be apartments instead of homes?

LeonMarek

4/12/21 11:42am

Terrible idea.

WDaddy

This may be the worst idea I've ever heard.

I guess we should get rid of banks as well

why do you want to rob from people their ability to rent a home? don't people deserve the right to rent if renting

HarlemCoug

If individuals can't own rental property that leaves corporations and government

byujdmba

4/12/21 11:51am

Doesn't the tax code already distinguish between primary residences and rentals?

Art Director

4/12/21 11:59am

Yes, it does. And while some things, like depreciation, are definite advantages

The house value would take a big hit and appreciate much less over time.

No evidence to support this. And in fact, the most densely populated areas in our country have the highest values.
