    A New Streaming Series on the Golden State's Housing Crisis.
    The Bay Area’s and California’s housing crisis is crazy. Shacks are selling for millions. Investors are paying all cash for homes that could go to family buyers. And generations of communities are getting priced out. Through a series of steaming reports, NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit reveals its year-long investigation into The Golden State’s overpriced housing market that is leaving so many Californians overwhelmed and over it.
    Episode 2 'Landlord Confessions': Small Landlords Out, Will Rents Rise?
    Some small landlords say they are never renting out again. Will your rent go up? Small landlords make up a surprisingly large percentage of California’s “naturally affordable housing,” and yet some tell The Investigative Unit COVID and heavy-handed government policies are squeezing them - and their housing - out.

    I had a rental unit for years... priced it well below corporate rates and never raised the rent. I even worked with people who had bankruptcies on their record and had no hope of renting from a corporation. Little by little my city took away my rights as a landowner ... it just wasn't worth the headache anymore. I sold my unit in a very desirable neighborhood, and now there is one less place for a renter who just needs a break.

    I know some landlords start doing airbnb instead of long term lease. If you get a bad long term tenant, it's extremely difficult to get them out. With the short term rental, you can just sell the house anytime you want which gives you more flexibility. The end result will be less and less housing for regular tenants. Everything is a two way street.

  • @musictosoothe
    @musictosoothe 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The politicians with their anti landlord stance will destroy all affordable housing. Any small landlord that stays in the business will have to raise rents a lot just to allow for that nonsense. The first thing that should happen to solve this. 1. Evictions should be quick, easy and inexpensive and should have no restrictions for non payment or destructive tenant. Why? It encourages tenants to pay and it makes it less likely the landlord will need to raise the rent to cover it. The more tenant protections in place, the higher the rent must be. Eviction is the motivation to pay the rent, plain and simple 2. Restore full property rights to landlords. Whose property is it anyway?
    Landlords should make the rules regarding their property... the qualifications needed to rent it, the amount of rent, when rent is raised and how much it's raised, 3. Gov't has no authority to void contracts and cancel rent. Can gov't cancel your car loan and you keep your car? Can gov't cancel your phone bill and you keep your phone service? Can gov't tell grocery stores to cancel the bill for shopping, but continue to let you shop? Can gov't cancel your credit card debt and tell the provider to keep letting you use credit?
    But gov't still wants their taxes, even tho you can't collect rent? Seriously, these politicians need to cultivate a working brain. How about they try an experiment.... make taxes optional...pay if you want, but you don't need to. See how that works out for them. Or how about this... taxes on rentals are based on actual rent collected. That might make them think twice about telling landlords they can't evict or collect rent.
    And it's a conflict of interest and should be illegal for gov't to 1. tell a landlord they can't evict, can't collect rent, causing them to lose their property and 2. have a gov't fund to buy foreclosed rentals that they caused to go into foreclosure. Maybe we should tell the gov't they can't collect taxes on any rental they impose restrictions on.

The tech business, which (by the lack of universal WIFI in Silicon Valley) primarily exists to usher in a new column of shlemiels into the alimony and child-support paying category, has created more homelessness in the Bay Area than anything else and falsely inflated the economy beyond reasonable levels. Part of the reason the leadership of California cities has done nothing about the growing homeless populations everywhere is because many are in their 70's now, and back in the '70's, they did enough Stevie Nicks sized mountains of blow to the point where they can no longer smell the feces covering their streets, and all of the real Ken Kesey LSD they did makes the sidewalks covered in tents and sleeping bags look like extra textured paint jobs on the buildings they are being shuttled passed. Every urban area on the West Coast, from Seattle to San Diego needs a surplus of highly affordable housing, because if nothing else, weather will still attract people to this region, whether they have money or not.

California dosent need more poor but they get them because of the weather. Seriously they would need to build 100k homes a year to keep up with affordable housing but yet there is a major water shortage? 100k homes flushing toilets for what 5-10 people a day, laundry, cooking minimal yards to water cars to wash…. Sure yeah keep ‘em coming maybe build in the fire zones every few years ok!

    Tenants have too many rights. As a landlord, you have to be select your tenant wisely to ensure (1) they pay, (2) they take care of the property and (3) honest. The high cost of rent starts with the purchasing price of the home which results in a huge mortgage. This has to trickle down to the renters. Renters have to take into account the monthly mortgage, insurance, property tax and upkeep.

    The sad truth and same old platitude is true here (as ever): The rich are getting richer, the poor getting poorer. Hell, I consider myself *rich* but I come from a poor family. Of course by the standards out here, I’m still pretty low on the totem. My landlord (who owns 3 homes) decided, within her right, that now she wants to sell the home I’m renting. I _could_ try to rent or buy somewhere else, but I’m tired of sinking my cash into someone else’s mortgage and watch as they gain $300k in home value over just a few years while I miss out (meanwhile their taxes are pinned at a low rate). My mom is alone all by herself out in NC in an apartment I found for her due to a foreclosure. She’s on a limited income and they’ve already raised the rent $50/mo which for her, is a huge deal. I want to go back to living in a larger place that’s able to comfortably house all of us, her, me and my partner (so she’s not alone and not having to fork over so much rent anymore). At my income, I can get 4x the space for 60% the cost in other metropolitan areas and since I can work remotely, I’m probably going to have to go ahead and leave the gorgeous SF Bay Area behind, like many others (and good riddance to me, maybe that and people like me will help lower the demand here, but I don’t think it’ll matter). It’s just too bad, because people who are _from_ here who can’t just work remotely are *completely* left in the lurch! It’s really sad. 😞

      @@jjohnson8977 Yeah, totally subjective term, I admit. I considered myself “rich” since I grew up in a rural area in a trailer with no college education and no prospects, family deeply in debt and etc. These days I make a typical senior engineer salary (so mid 6 figures) and have a reasonable savings. Think about mobility, specifically barriers to upward mobility for those of us who are/were poor. Folks who have a head start are less likely to need to support their family financially and thus more capable of saving more, purchasing and not getting sucked into renting and etc. Also note: It’s the SF Bay Area. To me, if you can afford $3m home, you’re fabulously wealthy (even though that standard varies depending on where you are I guess).

      Actually, most of those renter nightmare stories are related to the income properties owned by the corporations and investors, if you look at the whole story. The moms and pops landlords tend to charge less rent than I would like them to. That really frustrates me. It messes up the entire market. The corporations and investors have a team of lawyers and professionals to ward off the disgruntled tenants. Not moms and pops. So it is in their best interest to keep the tenants happy.
      The sad truth is that these income properties owned by moms and pops will eventually be in the hands of corporations and investors like us. And guess what? We will evict you and renovate the place to charge new tenants 50% more. If the middle class kills these pops and moms landlords by taking advantage of them, this is what happens. Stop crying.

If any place needs it, San Francisco does. Maybe landlords should be given tax BREAKS for renting out affordable units.

This will solve the homelessness problem, save all the section 8 money, make owning more affordable, and stimulate the economy: if you don't have to pay rent you will have extra money to spend on other things.

      The "other things" landlords are still liable for include mortgage, insurance, taxes, restorations and utilities that keep the building from being condemned. Landlords are fortunate to live in one of the units and still afford groceries out of their Social Security and whatever rent does come in. Landlords cannot afford to adopt renters and pay everybody's heat and electricity. Most California winters don't freeze pipes to bursting, so there's that. Want free rent? Go live with Mom and Dad and do chores at home. Renters should take over the landlord's bills for a month. It would be a practical class on money management. The electric company isn't so accomodating when they don't get paid, or the bank, or the water company, or the county that's counting on the taxes.... Tenants don't get it even if Nobody in the building has power or water...that means no flushies, no TV, no light after sundown, uh oh....no phone charger. There is no free lunch, and there is no free rent unless you choose a tent on the sidewalk. NOBODY chooses that.
