China represents a lot of these investors too.

Interest rates at 6.6%. Not great, but not killer either.

Not bad compared to what?

It's not just interest rates, it's inventory has been bought up by investors

He knows. It's just easier to dismiss the situation.

Interest rates may have been too low but the bigger problem is lack of housing

Much of the built supply now goes directly to rentals.

Some of it does, but again that’s because supply is too low. Whether it’s

Very few homes...let's get some numbers behind how many homes these investors are actually buying and holding.

300k at 6.6% interest with gas at $5/gallon? Yes very cheap boomer.

I never said very cheap. I said affordable. A mortgage payment on those type of

So people that have to drive 2 hrs each day is affordable? Ok.

yeah, that's proving the point of why our kids won't be able to buy a home.

I didn't say they needed to commute into those cities.

byubyu

Wow, personal attack. That's a great way to make a point!

My kids won't have any problem buying a home. They go out and find solutions.

Wow, you really are bitter today. You're coming on strong when I don't recall

Stop making excuses. BYUBYU is a winner. Follow his lead.

Great pay an hour outside of those cities.

How many entities make up that 18%? Likely close to tens of thousands. They don't have a monopoly anywhere.

7/5/22 1:40pm

Ok.

Shore10

7/5/22 1:29pm

The vast majority of homes are still being purchased by individuals. 18% is not "setting the market."

7/5/22 1:35pm

Ok. They have no influence on the market.
