I sold a house in Toledo last year that we had been renting out for about 9 years. The first offer we got was a cash offer for list price (toledo's housing market is still very slow). My realtor suspected that it was from an investor. We promptly said "no" and moved on to the next offer, which was from an actual family. Sellers have some power to help stop this unfortunate trend.

Make a law stating corporations etc can't purchase a home until its been listed on the market for "X" number of months, basically giving normal people a chance to buy the properties first. Or something along those lines. Maybe have huge fines for unkempt properties / yards if its owned by a corporation (not the same type of fines regular people get, have to be much worse and on the scale of what a corporation would be able to pay) Maybe not the perfect answer, but could be a start at least.
Or at the very least cap the percentage in any given city to ensure real families have some seat at the table!!! we need more oversight on housing in this country and better consumer protections.
Big money is buying solid assets to preserve their wealth during the impending economic depression. It's bologna to say that they're providing renters the ability to live in nicer areas. It's all about wealth preservation.
but the problem is wall street companies get bailouts when things go south while people get leftovers. There should be a ban on Wall Street for buying all of fishers ... there are plenty of residents 100k that can afford a mortgage there. also the seller can get the money from banks so idk why they rush to take offers from wall street.
I am a homeowner in Fishers. These investment companies are a huge problem for us as well. I can point out the rental homes in my neighborhood because the renters and the company don't keep them up.

Yes. I agree. I sold my first house last summer. We got a cash offer from an investment group. We declined it and moved on to the next offer, which was from an actual family.

The question is how to regulate it? Not if it is fair or not. Should new build homes be allowed to be purchased by corporate entities? Or should individuals / family buyers have the first bite of the apple. Very difficult to regulate in my view as the builder will say the larger companies pay a higher price. Then you have to get into regulating the entire house building business where builders are prohibited from selling homes to corporations. Tricky to do - but may be necessary.

Theres bound to be another housing bubble if this keeps up. Greedy investment companies will stop to no end until it all comes crashing down. I dont know if the next down market will be as bad as 2007-08. Its crazy that rent and mortgage is "through the roof".

Our house sold in Carmel in 2013 in one day. This was right around or maybe right before all the Hamilton County Suburbs started getting recognized in different rankings and publications as the best places to live sometimes multiple years in a row very high in the rankings. The home we grew up in cost 225k in 2000 and We sold for $270k in 2013 and as of 2022 it's worth $498k almost a half a million, I wish we were able to keep it back then but my parents had divorced and we were going through college at the time and finishing up high school. It was a big house with the associated maintenance/upkeep. The Mortgage we had was a bit under 2k/month! I knew once all these suburbs were officially recognized It would be a matter of years before they became super crowded and insane real estate even for renters. Hamilton County was largely was a best kept secret. West and East Coast cost of living/politics whatever you want definitely likely didn't help as I'm guessing people said to themselves why struggle in LA, NY, Seattle, Chicago when I can move there. People also have had a break on student loans and therefore have likely moved into the city from other areas around central Indiana or maybe elsewhere. I myself have student loans and the reprieve has been very helpful and needed It has definitely attracted increased competition everywhere including Hamilton County. The only hopes for people wanting to live in and around Hamilton County have to be in the neighboring Farmland towns of McCordsville/Fortville and I suppose Whitetown around Zionsville likely has some land still available for development.
Big companies are wanting to buy the best houses and property while prices are high because we can't compete against their bids. Instead buy a new property with a new home in a housing development with all your grocery stores and shopping nearby by or plans to include them into the development. The idea is they want to rent you to rent only from now on
I rented a house out last January in Indiana. The guy decided to stop paying rent. So I tried to evict him. Moved out and took some 2x4s. It's tough being a landlord sometimes
Catch 22. Even if you buy a house, good chances you're living in a neighborhood full of renters. With no permanent long-lasting relationships that can be built. And as soon as the values go up enough, they'll knock down those homes and build apartment buildings. And then you start getting crime in your neighborhood. Yet you still have to pay off that 30 or mortgage with an ever depreciating asset. Oh yeah, you don't have the kind of money to replace your home with an apartment building yourself and jump in on the 💵 bandwagon. Is that about right?
Argh, the Midwest homebuyer is getting shafted like the coastal states' homebuyer! There was a house in Seattle that had been in a fire, was currently uninhabitable, that sold over the listing for $1million, in less than a week. That was this winter. Oh and it was a modest sized home, like 1500 sf sized, in a residential, nice neighborhood. Yeah, that "stuck in a rental" has been going on out here on the west coast for several years, and now it's starting in the Midwest.
yes this was more a sort of coastal area phenomena. Especially Florida where the big companies bought in homes as there demand for vacation homes was high. But now this phenomena entering mid western states. I am surprised Wall Street did not think of this earlier. There are lots of areas where this could work.
Not happening in Hawaii. New houses are popping up in this housing boom. The bubble pop is coming soon. Why are corporations not out bidding people on new houses here?
Retail buyers have been getting beaten in bidding because they're using a real estate agent. Right off they're paying the agent 3% just to drive them around. They believe the lie the seller pays that 3%...but they're the only one putting money into escrow. Investors don't pay 3% so they can offer 3% more to the seller's bottomline. The other problem is real estate agents look backwards. They value property based on past comps. In a market going up (or down) quickly that old data is misleading. So they're telling their clients not to bid high enough. They say the investors' offers are "crazy", "insane" and that they "overpaid". Meanwhile the investors are using forward looking data like job forecasts, demographics, household formation, etc... and seeing increasing values. Then there's the "fair price" idea. When we buy eggs, bread, milk we look for good prices on these and tend to buy at the same place every time. We get used to the price and get shocked when it goes up a couple pennies. When we buy a house we tend to see its value the same way. The house next door sold last year for $300k so that's what I should pay for this house. Anything above that would be a bad deal for me. Investors don't see it that way. In the stock market everyone is buying stock based on the expectation of growth. They have to pay 20, 30, 50 times current earnings in order to convince some asset holder to give up that asset. The hope is that asset will grow more profitable and increase in value. They know they have to pay a premium to get a growth asset. Investors are seeing real estate as a growth asset. If they have to pay 5-10% more than today's value to get that asset so they can earn more later that's a good deal. And again it's agents telling clients that's "overpaying".
That's the goal. To turn everyone into a renter. And a hostage. Because they made so much money off our backs to begin with, they can control ALL real estate. Just like peasants beholden to Lords. Welcome back to Feudalism, folks.
At the very least, law makers need to cap the percentage in any given city to ensure real families have some seat at the table!!! we need more and better oversight on housing market in this country. As well as better consumer protections.
Exactly. And it's not hard for the seller and builders to distinguish a family that wants to buy vs Wallstreet. I think the city/country have the power to stop this
If corporate investors want these homes, then let them have them. When people are ready to purchase a home, what's usually available to them isn't worth it! Many homeowners have for years complained about cookie-cutter homes that now dominate the real estate industry. In most communities, you can't tell one house from the next! There is hardly any differentiation. Homeowners are usually told to just pick one of three models. Then, the real estate developer hires contractors to construct the same house over and over, with slight variations, throughout the entire neighorbood as fast as possible. It is no wonder people aren't in a rush to purchase today's homes, especially considering there isn't much to them. Most homes today look like homes you can build yourself. Homeowners must demand real estate developers to do better. Homeowners want both affordable AND well-constructed homes that will last. These are homes made with all-natural materials, such as brick and stone. We don't want homes completely covered in cheap vinyl.
All you have to do is wait a year or a year and a half. Homes will be plentiful. People need to stop the big rush. If not move out of the country, many are leaving anyway.
People want cash up front with no inspection or appraisals no has close within 5 days deal. Sellers need to be more patient and start excepting those FHA they are contributing to the issue. The same people taking cash deals are the same ones looking for a house with a FHA or conventional.
They find a loop hole to where the renter will be paying for it. Now they want the renter to make 3 times the rent but it still will not help either one. If they can't find a renter the house sits until they find another seller or someone that meet their qualifications
prices going up so much that people cant qualify for rent. half the renters in atl will need fake check stubs just to get approved for rentals. how yall think that will end.... this is gonna bankrupt investors. all cause of greed.
Towns and counties have the power to condemn properties if not maintained. Condemn them and you'll get a face to talk to real quick when they can't rent them and leans are placed on them. Individual ownership of single dwelling homes should be the law, not allowed to convert to rental property.
hey when these big buyers pay in cash it dries up the mortgage market and work, the homeowners don't have to work and those who work are demotivated. and when rents are more than mortgages, the consumer is worse off, and the only way it would be more inclusive is when the lending is subprime!
This is one of the downsides of capitalism. We just allowed big business to privatize commodities like healthcare, R’s want to completely privatize schools (bringing back segregation). Merica!
I have always been saying they need to charge companies more when they purchase a home and they are not trust that are connected directly to a beneficiary. companies are making people indentured slaves.
@@gogee5 Not all HOAs, NOT in the second or first largest HOAs in the country. The largest HOA subdivision has little grass above ground. Depends on the location and the HOA.
These business people and these communities you're speaking of Indiana but they do it in all communities they invest in stocks and bonds and they get these investors to come in and buy property when they know people are coming into by land or whatnot and they don't want them in their community it's a way of shunning them without directly doing it.

I live in this county and this seems like fake news because you have to define what an investor is. Houses are at their highest costs right now, and investors aren't trying to maintain the upkeep. They want to buy them cheap and unload them. For Fishers, if an investor buys it, it doesn't serve them to hold onto it for long with upkeep and HOA fees; it's best to buy cheap undervalued urban land and redevelop. What I'm seeing more than anything else is people choosing to sell to investors like shady companies buying homes to avoid "realtor hassle" like Offerpad.
@@pohakumana basic economics. The prices are sky high cuz of what they are doing. Remove that houses go down and tons of ppl lose a bunch of $ for overpaying
Stop selling to investors..some are only out bidding by a few thousand dollars.. you may think well then I'm losing out on a few thousand dollars but you need to think long-term think about your children and your grandchildren that are going to be buying houses in the next 20-30 years
Simple you buy a single family home you have to live in it, that's why they're called starter homes for young families not let's speculate and Jack up real estate.

Theres bound to be another housing bubble if this keeps up. Greedy investment companies will stop to no end until it all comes crashing down. I dont know if the next down market will be as bad as 2007-08. Its crazy that rent and mortgage is "through the roof".
Thought about moving here a couple of years ago. Sad to see what’s happening to families.
lol
There won't be families soon. I will never have kids with because of this going on.
They came to Oregon and the big corps tried to stick it too me. I was after a lot of struggle able to purchase my own home. It is still possible, the higher interest rates will make it harder for first time home buyers though
Learn to write, it might be easier.
Our house sold in Carmel in 2013 in one day. This was right around or maybe right before all the Hamilton County Suburbs started getting recognized in different rankings and publications as the best places to live sometimes multiple years in a row very high in the rankings. The home we grew up in cost 225k in 2000 and We sold for $270k in 2013 and as of 2022 it's worth $498k almost a half a million, I wish we were able to keep it back then but my parents had divorced and we were going through college at the time and finishing up high school. It was a big house with the associated maintenance/upkeep. The Mortgage we had was a bit under 2k/month! I knew once all these suburbs were officially recognized It would be a matter of years before they became super crowded and insane real estate even for renters. Hamilton County was largely was a best kept secret. West and East Coast cost of living/politics whatever you want definitely likely didn't help as I'm guessing people said to themselves why struggle in LA, NY, Seattle, Chicago when I can move there. People also have had a break on student loans and therefore have likely moved into the city from other areas around central Indiana or maybe elsewhere. I myself have student loans and the reprieve has been very helpful and needed It has definitely attracted increased competition everywhere including Hamilton County. The only hopes for people wanting to live in and around Hamilton County have to be in the neighboring Farmland towns of McCordsville/Fortville and I suppose Whitetown around Zionsville likely has some land still available for development.
Unfortunately, Fortville and mccorsville are seeing sky high prices, too. People who can't afford Fishers/Carmel and moving there instead.
We looked for almost 2 years in Indiana for a home. This is more common that big companies own all the 🏡. One company is Progress Residential.
Big companies are wanting to buy the best houses and property while prices are high because we can't compete against their bids. Instead buy a new property with a new home in a housing development with all your grocery stores and shopping nearby by or plans to include them into the development. The idea is they want to rent you to rent only from now on
I rented a house out last January in Indiana. The guy decided to stop paying rent. So I tried to evict him. Moved out and took some 2x4s. It's tough being a landlord sometimes
Why is this not ilegal or at the very best regulated?
Because if they make new laws housing market will plummet more. Then everyone who bought a home is stuck and underwater forever
Because America only cares about money and pleasing the highest bidder.
Lot of people from New York moved to Fishers, Indiana
There should be higher tax premiums for owning like over 4 sfh for rent. There should also be incentives for selling to a homebuyer who lives there.
Families against investors a no win situation. So sad 😢
Catch 22. Even if you buy a house, good chances you're living in a neighborhood full of renters. With no permanent long-lasting relationships that can be built. And as soon as the values go up enough, they'll knock down those homes and build apartment buildings. And then you start getting crime in your neighborhood. Yet you still have to pay off that 30 or mortgage with an ever depreciating asset. Oh yeah, you don't have the kind of money to replace your home with an apartment building yourself and jump in on the 💵 bandwagon. Is that about right?
good point!
Argh, the Midwest homebuyer is getting shafted like the coastal states' homebuyer!
There was a house in Seattle that had been in a fire, was currently uninhabitable, that sold over the listing for $1million, in less than a week. That was this winter. Oh and it was a modest sized home, like 1500 sf sized, in a residential, nice neighborhood. Yeah, that "stuck in a rental" has been going on out here on the west coast for several years, and now it's starting in the Midwest.
yes this was more a sort of coastal area phenomena. Especially Florida where the big companies bought in homes as there demand for vacation homes was high. But now this phenomena entering mid western states. I am surprised Wall Street did not think of this earlier. There are lots of areas where this could work.
Not happening in Hawaii. New houses are popping up in this housing boom. The bubble pop is coming soon.
Why are corporations not out bidding people on new houses here?
And these big corporations can “write off “ there losses.
@@BuffyNoir140 their
Retail buyers have been getting beaten in bidding because they're using a real estate agent. Right off they're paying the agent 3% just to drive them around. They believe the lie the seller pays that 3%...but they're the only one putting money into escrow. Investors don't pay 3% so they can offer 3% more to the seller's bottomline.
The other problem is real estate agents look backwards. They value property based on past comps. In a market going up (or down) quickly that old data is misleading. So they're telling their clients not to bid high enough. They say the investors' offers are "crazy", "insane" and that they "overpaid". Meanwhile the investors are using forward looking data like job forecasts, demographics, household formation, etc... and seeing increasing values.
Then there's the "fair price" idea. When we buy eggs, bread, milk we look for good prices on these and tend to buy at the same place every time. We get used to the price and get shocked when it goes up a couple pennies. When we buy a house we tend to see its value the same way. The house next door sold last year for $300k so that's what I should pay for this house. Anything above that would be a bad deal for me. Investors don't see it that way. In the stock market everyone is buying stock based on the expectation of growth. They have to pay 20, 30, 50 times current earnings in order to convince some asset holder to give up that asset. The hope is that asset will grow more profitable and increase in value. They know they have to pay a premium to get a growth asset. Investors are seeing real estate as a growth asset. If they have to pay 5-10% more than today's value to get that asset so they can earn more later that's a good deal. And again it's agents telling clients that's "overpaying".
Real estate shopping for first time home buyers is like a hungry dog fighting with a stomach filled tiger over bones!
That's the goal. To turn everyone into a renter. And a hostage.
Because they made so much money off our backs to begin with, they can control ALL real estate.
Just like peasants beholden to Lords.
Welcome back to Feudalism, folks.
At the very least, law makers need to cap the percentage in any given city to ensure real families have some seat at the table!!! we need more and better oversight on housing market in this country. As well as better consumer protections.
Exactly. And it's not hard for the seller and builders to distinguish a family that wants to buy vs Wallstreet. I think the city/country have the power to stop this
Fishers your screwed ! if your a local with all these people moving there' expect your property Taxes to double !
greed and fear is destroying this country
Reminds of a time and now when red lining prevented black families from participating in the fair housing market. Had to have felt the same way 😕
What type of "giving back" was the Realtor referring to at 2:28? Genuine question.
My neighborhood changed the HOA covenants to say that only 3% of homes can be rental properties. Other communities should be doing this, too.
"Death of the Neighborhood,
Rise of the Investerhood"
Very true.
This is what is causing the Homeless problem.
Exactly
Example of why Capitalism sucks
So gave socialism? Lmao
If corporate investors want these homes, then let them have them. When people are ready to purchase a home, what's usually available to them isn't worth it! Many homeowners have for years complained about cookie-cutter homes that now dominate the real estate industry. In most communities, you can't tell one house from the next! There is hardly any differentiation. Homeowners are usually told to just pick one of three models. Then, the real estate developer hires contractors to construct the same house over and over, with slight variations, throughout the entire neighorbood as fast as possible. It is no wonder people aren't in a rush to purchase today's homes, especially considering there isn't much to them. Most homes today look like homes you can build yourself. Homeowners must demand real estate developers to do better. Homeowners want both affordable AND well-constructed homes that will last. These are homes made with all-natural materials, such as brick and stone. We don't want homes completely covered in cheap vinyl.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
we down even own the money in our pockets
All you have to do is wait a year or a year and a half. Homes will be plentiful. People need to stop the big rush. If not move out of the country, many are leaving anyway.
Same guys who blew-up the economy in 2008. And international investors laundering money.
Had these Big investors been properly taxed. Then they wouldn't have the money to ruin everything for the rest of us.
If you think that you know nothing about how economics work
@@alaska3300 Just not trickle down economics.
I will not blame people if they choose to just ignore these companies and just squat and ignore paying the “rents”
I hope they got the home 🥺
Sometimes an economic collapse would be necessary for a healthier society in general.
Just like Black Rock here in Texas.
People want cash up front with no inspection or appraisals no has close within 5 days deal. Sellers need to be more patient and start excepting those FHA they are contributing to the issue. The same people taking cash deals are the same ones looking for a house with a FHA or conventional.
I gave up trying to find a home for now but now I’m worried about my rent going up again
No one wants to make it to law that these company needs to pay more taxes if they are not living in it?
They find a loop hole to where the renter will be paying for it. Now they want the renter to make 3 times the rent but it still will not help either one. If they can't find a renter the house sits until they find another seller or someone that meet their qualifications
How can you save an extra 10-20 thousands ?
prices going up so much that people cant qualify for rent. half the renters in atl will need fake check stubs just to get approved for rentals. how yall think that will end.... this is gonna bankrupt investors. all cause of greed.
Towns and counties have the power to condemn properties if not maintained. Condemn them and you'll get a face to talk to real quick when they can't rent them and leans are placed on them. Individual ownership of single dwelling homes should be the law, not allowed to convert to rental property.
hey when these big buyers pay in cash it dries up the mortgage market and work, the homeowners don't have to work and those who work are demotivated. and when rents are more than mortgages, the consumer is worse off, and the only way it would be more inclusive is when the lending is subprime!
Is this supposed to be a surprise?
It's capitalism at its finest.
Isn't this great????
This is the beginning of the end of American families opportunity to build wealth 😞
This is one of the downsides of capitalism. We just allowed big business to privatize commodities like healthcare, R’s want to completely privatize schools (bringing back segregation). Merica!
Fix it by changing property taxes again! Make it cost prohibitive for corps to own these homes by charging them more
This is not right. Why dont they purchase a fixer upper??
I have always been saying they need to charge companies more when they purchase a home and they are not trust that are connected directly to a beneficiary. companies are making people indentured slaves.
The American Dream is just that, a dream. Wake up!
It always get down to greed if it’s seller or the richest buyer!
You people act like this is something new, it's not. Houses are just the current thing for these groups.
Dont buy and rent from investor.
High grass and weed issue. Does that cost extra?
Pretty sure HOA can put fines and lien on the house that doesn’t take care of property..
@@gogee5 Not all HOAs, NOT in the second or first largest HOAs in the country. The largest HOA subdivision has little grass above ground.
Depends on the location and the HOA.
These business people and these communities you're speaking of Indiana but they do it in all communities they invest in stocks and bonds and they get these investors to come in and buy property when they know people are coming into by land or whatnot and they don't want them in their community it's a way of shunning them without directly doing it.
People don't want to rent the American Dream and be priced out they want to own it.
Stop letting rental in
Investor's will soon regret the decision they made. Blame the younger generation that don't wanna farm and want that quick dollar. All the farm land around me is selling and turned into housing complexes
homer simpson is livin the american dream
33%?
This is a joke so who are you selling to if you can't even contact the owners, This guy says it's not an issue because you making bank off it this is a joke
It's all about the money
I live in this county and this seems like fake news because you have to define what an investor is. Houses are at their highest costs right now, and investors aren't trying to maintain the upkeep. They want to buy them cheap and unload them. For Fishers, if an investor buys it, it doesn't serve them to hold onto it for long with upkeep and HOA fees; it's best to buy cheap undervalued urban land and redevelop. What I'm seeing more than anything else is people choosing to sell to investors like shady companies buying homes to avoid "realtor hassle" like Offerpad.
Now if there is a law against it, everyone who bought a house will be stuck because they will lose 30-50% value of the home. They screwed us
you don't know what you're talking about
@@pohakumana basic economics. The prices are sky high cuz of what they are doing. Remove that houses go down and tons of ppl lose a bunch of $ for overpaying
Make private equity buying homes a crime.
Proud of America. This is true capitalism.
Stop selling to investors..some are only out bidding by a few thousand dollars.. you may think well then I'm losing out on a few thousand dollars but you need to think long-term think about your children and your grandchildren that are going to be buying houses in the next 20-30 years
They need to look at cheaper areas.
Simple you buy a single family home you have to live in it, that's why they're called starter homes for young families not let's speculate and Jack up real estate.
Hey I live in Fishers Indiana
The American dream as far as real estate is concerned isn't changing, it died in 2008 people are just catching up now👁
2008/2009 was a great year for real estate and the American dream if you were looking to buy. It was affordable housing everywhere. So affordable that the government was giving away money to first time homebuyers to buy them up.
It's all legal and there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Either accept it or stop whining and do something about it. Face it, corporations have all the power in the USA. It's done. We are all cooked.
Corporations need our help -- more bailouts, legal protections, and tax breaks.
And like always, Americans will not do anything about it. Capitalism🇺🇲
This is happening everywhere
@@annabeeamputee Exactly! Everywhere nobody does anything about it!
@@johnther because what can they do? the investors have more money than the world combined. Black rock, blackstone vanguard have trillions of dollars in assets and money more than the middle class and lower class. What can you do, you can try to fight it but as HKessinger said “he who owns the money, rules the world”
Outside global companies even domestic companies should have a nice big tax and purchase limit this is destroying the American Dream and creating the Great Reset where renting will be the only payment 🤦🏻♂️ 📖
The same is happening in Florida.
Plot twist; you don’t have to live in Fishers
I would destroy the inside of my rental property
I should take those investors to Court. Because I'm Native American and that land belongs to me. And all the wood that is used to build those homes are most likely also from my land of America.
The rich will own all the houses and the peasants will rent....there will be no in between...
But people keep saying there's going to be a recession. So, people will be able to buy. 😬
He does believing capitalism because if he did he would love this business. It's raw capitalism.
Home owners stop selling to businesses
“They can rent the American dream “
Regulate this mess
