this one appears different to me. The last one was engineered by mortgage

lending companies.

This one is engineered by central banks in concert with several other countries. The US has a debt crisis that it simply cannot resolve without real significant inflation. The Fed isn't even considering raising rates even as prices skyrocket and fractional reserve lending continues to multiply the money supply.

Conclusion: if you're not in a house now its going to be a VERY long wait to get into one. If you're far removed from industries that thrive in an inflationary environment you're going to struggle for years to come.

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

4/12/21 10:00pm

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

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

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.

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

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?

4/12/21 11:59am

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