President Trump has to force Wall Street to sell off housing investments
Omg and I’m just living in my truck cuz I can’t even afford anything. Ffs
"own nothing and be happy". What a bad take. The Hill yet again bringing in out of touch losers.
This guy starts by saying that the prices of homes is so high for economic reasons like lack of supply. Then 5 minutes later he says “I don’t really see this housing shortage that everyone is talking about. There’s homes for sale in my area all the time.”
Soinstead of investing my 100,000 dollars in a down-payment and be a home owner, I should rent a 2,200 a month apartment I never have a chance to own. In just 4 years I have invested my 100,000 dollar down-payment into the endless pit of rent with no return?
I’d love to know what this guy’s definition of “affordable” is. Also, what neighborhoods has he been to.
700k for a 1700sf house in Tennessee.
20% down
10% mortgage interest rates
3% property taxes
Unaffordable home insurance rates
200% increase in utilities and food prices
Dude was clearly hired by the government to say this on the news
He literally says at 2:35 that there is lack of supply and then at 5:20 she asks if the problem is a shortage and he then says shortage is NOT the problem. I'm confused and clearly he is.
Bought my home during Trump 2.62 Biden 6.87 do the math demoncrat😮❤
If owning a home is so bad why do all these people and companies invest in them?
Wow this guy does not see the reality…greed is the answer
Nothing is affordable.. be real
The way this old man sidestepped BlackRock buying up homes and pushing up the Rent to astronomical numbers is astonishing.
that's why all American's need to vote for RFK Jr for president in 2024
If you rent, you are paying for upkeep, HOA fees, taxes and the mortgage. The landlord takes your money and pays all those expenses
“Renting forever isn’t a terrible idea.” – Larry Fink and this guy.
Out of tpuch with reality gas lighting. He ownes several properties but thinks its not in our best interest to own even one?
Everyone now days is talking about supply and demand. If most people cant afford a home, where is the demand???
The American dream was always a scam. Single family home sprawl and car dependency was never going to be sustainable regardless of black rock buying all the sfh.
Most people probably can afford to own a home, just not a single family detached. There are so many other kinds of housing that cost a lot less money. My townhouse is $150k less than my neighbors in their single family house and we both have about the same amount of square footage inside
Can’t have a crash with no inventory.
THE AMERICAN DREAM IS NOT DEAD ,THE AMERICAN DREAM IS TO LEAVE AMERICA!
