I've been saying that same thing for the past few years. Stop corporations and investors from purchasing single family homes. Housing has gotten so expensive because of these investors that even basic started homes are now unaffordable for many people.
Greed is human nature. Our modern economy is founded on human greed and it's an incredible motivator. The issue is that for finite resources like land, unlike any other thing you can accumulate (like money or material goods) you can't make more of it and thus it's ripe for the situation where people buy the land and then charge people for its use despite doing nothing except being there first to buy the land. To fix this we need the government to impose a land value tax so that they actually use land for useful things instead of collecting rents from people who actually need it.
@@zyansheep it’s the lowest part.. The animalistic part of our nature…. Though soo many people are narcissists…. And narcissists have no real sense of self.
@@zyansheep Nah, greed is not human nature. And the last thing we need is more tax. What we need is a real currency and sound monetary policy. It's the only way to restore the value of labor.
Something they dont talk about is how over 25% of new home were actually bought by investors, not people looking to live there. Even if boomers sell all the houses or more home become available, the problem wont go away, as wealthy investors will still buy up those supply of houses. This will keep the houses prices up.
Not a word about banks, equity firms, Blackrock, buying up houses after the 2008 cruises as assets. You cannot discuss the housing cruises without discussing this.nOr discussing that largest luxury houses generate more profit than smaller non-luxury. Developers build for profit.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

The 60s had a higher purchasing power for an hour of labor. Since then, minimum wage has been frozen several times despite exploding costs of living and inflation (thanks, Reagan). Also, over this time, social benefits have been cut and attacked while top marginal taxes have been slashed from over 70% to under 40%.

I'm from Denver. You could once rent a decent single bedroom apartment in an acceptable neighborhood for $400/mo.

What a waste of money.

Laws are always demands made by the ruling class upon their subjects. The only difference is that nowadays those who rule us have been able to cast a wider and wider net with fewer and fewer concessions. So you're right - it's just that law is inherently unjust because of the power disparities that underpin it, so rebellion against it as a system never ceases to be a duty.

My wife died unexpectedly two years ago. I fell apart and fell behind on the lot rent which was increased twice after she passed.

@@nikkijubilant My cats and I have been renting a room for almost a year now. I got a camper while I was displaced and I've started to rent that to vacationers. It has provided a little extra income. If the world doesn't end, I may be doing okay next summer

I would actually be all for business entities being prohibited from own residences and property management companies the exception, but with extreme limitations on how they operate and that they are not themselves owned by a larger corporation. Property Management companies being required to operate as cooperatives would likely be best. This video shows some of the first warning signs that lead to dystopian corporatocracy.
@@foremanhaste5464 I would be all for housing being recognized as an innate right. I would also like to see the rest of our innate rights recognized and honored for humanity across the board. I'm way way way over capitalism
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Regular home ownership is becoming unattainable as well due to corporate home purchases. They then charge rent high enough to keep people from saving anything towards owning a home in the future. It's clear the system isn't working.
"They can tolerate rent increases because they can't afford to leave" is just psychotic. I can't believe there are people out there who can say that out loud with no guilt.
And the would be investors think it would be a good investment. Don’t these people see how certain people lives are being destroyed because of greed. ?
They're not psychotic, they're sociopathic. Businessmen like this were born without a conscience. They believe that other people exist to be their victims.
Except its not extorsion nor is what they're doing illegal. As much as we hate what they're doing they know how to push and bend the law without breaking it.
It's not just greed; it's the lack of responsibility. Thanks to convoluted legal loopholes, private equity firms have *no liability* when things go wrong with stuff they manage. As such, they have no inclination to treat anyone humanely or with any form of decency, because they won't be held responsible even when people _die_ as a result of their horrible policies. (One of them literally got out of a wrongful death lawsuit by claiming this.) And they've bought all the politicians so thoroughly that this situation isn't changing any time soon.
Private Equity should be BANNED from buying into the public trust. Housing, hospitals, et al. BANNED!!!! And citizens should come together to purchase and have 1st right of refusal when trying to put together financing for the purchase of their park.
This would be awesome! I just hope that residents actually get together. We tried to do that when they're owner of the park sold, here told me us to get together but I no one was ready to on such shirt notice. It was a sad day when the new landlord came and immediately talked about charging for water and raising the rent.
Prop 33 lost. Stupid renters were influenced the against their own best intersts by the $Billion propaganda campaigns of PE firms and NAR. Renters did not understand that by voting "NO ON 33" they were building their own scaffolds.
To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality.

I've lived in my mobile home for 25 years. The rent has gone up EVERY YEAR! It started at $525 a month, now its almost $1800. Once I'm retired I will no longer be able to afford the rent, even tho my house is paid off. It is disgusting what corporations are doing to people.
Man, watching this makes me wonder if my $143k 'emergency fund' could turn into something more than just a number in my savings account. Private equity snapping up housing? Ruthless, yeah, but maybe they’re onto something. Like, should I be ruthless too? I just want a head start-without turning into a corporate overlord. Thoughts?
I hear you! But maybe don't jump straight into 'ruthless mode.' I started out thinking I could do it all myself, then a financial advisor showed me the ropes. Game changer. Definitely worth considering if you want to keep that $143k growing without losing sleep over it.
Totally agree, but how do you even find a good advisor? Everyone’s either selling something or too vague to trust. I know I need one, but figuring out where to start feels like its own investment strategy.

This is happening with my mother's community. 1 month after she downsizes into a manufactured home in a 55 plus community north of Pittsburgh, private equity buys the community, raises lot rent by over 40% and starts passing previously covered utilities like water and trash to the tenants.
Exactly. That's what the "trickle down" criminals are doing to many Americans. Many elderly are in these parks and are being ruthlessly exploited by the filthy rich and at a time it's hardest where they are on fixed incomes and can't do anything like they could when younger. It's crazy the government is allowing this
Yeah, we find a solution to handle her tightening budget, I buy a modular home in a nice community and have it remodeled for her. I was happy to do it so she could maintain her independence and self sufficieny. She moves from her high rent apartment, expecting a $450ish monthly fixed cost and bam, price increase most of the way back to her old rent and I have thousands invested in the building so now we're committed long term. It's like the video said, it's hard to get out of these places without a significant cost.
Only families and citizens should own homes. Corporations as well as investors from other nations should not legally be considered individuals or citizens. Our courts NEED to rule on this.
I disagree with "families and citizens". Many people do not have families but are citizens who worked for their homes. What I strongly disagree with is the government giving border crossers that benefit at the cost of letting US citizens go homeless.
@@AdamLeite that's a silly disagreement, citizens with or without families is just fine. I'm not sure about the foreigner bashing you speak of, but if you have any evidence instead of unproven hearsay I'm all ears
@@takethesquid Sorry, it was the person I responded to who said that "only families and citizens" should own homes. That is what I disagreed with. Kamala Harris has been promoting and more recently, Nancy Pelosi has endorse that $25K should be given to the recently arriving migrants so they can purchase their homes.
Here in the Uk we have an equivalent, it’s called Leasehold. It could be a caravan or a house or a flat but the land it’s on is privately owned and ‘leased’ to the owners of the property. Exactly what is happening to you is also happening to us! If you can afford it don’t buy a leasehold property.
The problem with this country is that it pretends to fight poverty but actually just fights poor people. It takes away all options for the poor and leaves luxury as the only choice, and nobody can afford it. We tear down cheap "ugly" apartments and build fancy ones.
I feel like they’re pretty honest about not giving af. Politicians will say anything anywhere but how many people do you know that actually cares enough to do something?
And those fancy apartments--excuse me, "luxury condominiums"...they sit empty for years before a few of them get bought up. But the building is NEVER full to capacity... (I really think a lot of those building projects are just money laundering schemes, and that city governments are in on it...)
This is DEPRESSING NO DOUBT. And a lot of us are heading straight down that path and it’s terrifying. It feels like no matter how much you try and save or invest something happens at the convenience of the government and boom your 2 steps forward takes a 3 steps back direction. Take care everyone, God bless you all. Aloha!
This isn't government.This is private equity investment firms. The average person needs to make sure their elected representatives know that private equity should be stopped. This is where PEOPLE become the government. "We, the People of the United States of America..."
A company like this had my grandmas bank account on auto-pay. They charged her rent this month, after she had already passed. The private equity firm that owns the park took extra time processing the title so they could charge a dead woman who survived off social security and food stamps.
I'd say they are vultures but that would be an insult to vultures who perform a valuable and necessary role in this world. Perhaps parasites? The world has become so atomised and transactional.
The housing market is inflated and oversaturated with homes being on the market with astronomical price tags just stagnant for months. It is very clear that our generation will be likely one of the most devastating bubble pops in modern history. Seeking best possible ways to grow 250k into $1m+ and get a good house for retirement, I'm 54.
I don't think here is the place for personalized investment guidance. However, I suggest consulting with a reliable advisor like Azul to ensure appropriate retirement planning.
I’m closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in over 80% profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years. Maybe you should consider this too
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Sophia Maurine Lanting” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach on web. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
I managed the manufactured housing stock for a county auditor for 6 years. It won't take much of an increase to push people out of these parks. It's horrible. They are displaced at the absolute worst time in their lives.
Kicking people when they are most vulnerable is monstrous behavior for flash and blood humans. It's also a guaranteed to be financed business model for the corporate persons the courts care about.

Housing crisis, health crisis, financial crisis, cost of living crisis, debt crisis, inflation crisis, Middle East crisis. How many crises can we endure? As I approach retirement with a solid financial cushion, I'm anxious about a potential banking crisis. Is private equity a good option to grow my money securely? Any guidance in this regard would be much valued.

Agreed, investing with the help of an advisor set me up for life. Retired with about $1.6m in stock portfolio only. I worked hard everyday as a teacher for 32 years, and my salary was over 100k annually. Supplementing my income with stocks and alternative investments helped me by far beat the retirement age before 65.
I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio. This served me well when I was flipping and renting houses, however I need a different plan now.. mind if I look up the professional guiding you please?
The advisor am currently working with is Judith Lynn Staufer. I came across her in a Bloomberg interview for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look her up.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
In the 80's my Dad worked a modest job, Mom stayed at home and raised the kids, and they lived a nice middle class lifestyle including owning a home. Nowadays both I and my partner works and can barely afford to make ends meet. Soon the kids and family dog will need to work to keep this household going. It's the destruction of the American dream right before our eyes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I was a late bloomer, but Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, my financial advisor helped me bring it all together and got me into crypto. Now retired for 6 years at 72, my managed portfolio with Tracy generates about 9k a month on average more than my RMD on my retirement accounts. Not real big, but together with SS we're able to live reasonably with 160k a year. While being mortgage free.
well corp are owned by people and people are allowed to buy homes, they will just do so in a different way, the problem is not private equity the problem is with the people who are greedy dont love God or neighbor or Gods standards of right and wrong. who forget we are in the last days of this wicked world. their money will be thrown into the streets when Gods day arrives. people think you face judgement after you die, nope we are in a judgement period right now, judgement is based on peoples response to the Good news being preached and taught right now. people just have not paid attention, matthew 24:14 God evaluates peoples response to this goodnews of his kingdom (government)
Growing up, our dads worked, mom stayed home and had a few kids. We lived in decent, solid homes, with manicured lawns, vegetable gardens, pets. We ate well and wore nice clothing. We went on occasional vacations and had bountiful Christmases. We felt safe & secure. Hurts me so deeply that today's children will never know such a lifestyle.
Yeah, the greed is insane. I started renting a place in Canada in September of 2021 for about $145 a month. By this year it had gone up to $211. I ended up having to downsize. I just can't stand greed like that.
I’m 43 and disabled, I draw $943.00 a month. I can’t afford a rent, I’m sleeping on someone’s couch. I’m terrified of being homeless yet I’m heading that way. The cheapest rent in my area is $1,200.00 for a trailer, I can’t afford that! “ There’s no America dream anymore, all it is survival. “ she nailed it!
Does your brain still function? Are you creative or smart enough to do more with your life than watch tv or sleep 12 hours a day. Can you support your community to gain new friends and skills? I lived in a rented room for $400 in the military because my family was in a different state. I had to pay all the taxes and rent for that area and pay for my small bedroom just to support our government to keep everyone safe. I had no car and barely enough to eat on - luckily the base had a food court which I lived off $10 a day on food. I did this for a year because I had to. Today I have pain pump and spinal stimulators and still have to provide. How I did this and continue is I don’t watch TV, I don’t go out, I just work and come home in extreme pain, work using my brain on projects. What happened in the past sucks but it had to be done. Today I know what I did helped countless others to live in a free nation. So take the money you get for free, and work to better yourself.
That's why you see all these ads on tv for sleep medications. They can't sleep. Some are addicted to making money and can't take a break to sleep. Other's can't deal with what they've done but can't stop. The love of money is the root of all evil.
This is why we have homelessness. And of course, the corporate press is not covering any of it. And the government has been complicit since Ronald Reagan
Ummm, no. When I was in my 20's in the 1990's almost all apartment complexes and mobile home parks were individually or locally owned. This all started under W Bush in the early 2000's and Obama did NOTHING to stop it when he took the reins.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do. Hope I don’t wake up tomorrow.” This is truly sick that people are being forced into this mindset that death is the better option than being put into debt or becoming homeless
Greed is not the problem! Corporations are not the problem, individuals can do this too! The problem the fact that anyone with money can buy land and hold on to it while extracting rent from anyone who wants to use their land. *We need a land value tax to fix this!*

I got out of the real estate investing market about a year ago. I think it's time to get into the stock market but what's the best strategy to invest around 200K in this current market?
Agreed, despite my rookie knowledge of investing, I have a financial advisor who did the trick in a bit more than 6 months after a lump sum capital of $500k, and I've so far made a fortune. I'm now buying real estates, gold and silver as advised by my FA.
🌹I think the retirement crisis will get even worse. A lot of people can't save because of low paying jobs, inflation, and insane rental rates. And now that home ownership is out of reach for middle class Americans, they won't have a house to retire with either
I completely agree; I am 60 years old, recently retired, I have approximately $1,250,000 in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, having a portfolio-advisor for investing is GENIUS!

Calvin Coolidge said: The business of America is business. Democrats and Republicans alike are guilty in aiding and abetting these people for years, hence the mess we’re in now. It just gets worse because it’s allowed to grow and fester like a disease, with no one willing or able to stop it.
Corporations and foreign investors should not be allowed to own residential property. Eliminating that, along with "mortgage-backed securities" would go a long way to solving the housing-price problem.
Neither candidate is going to make this better. The system is broken. Extreme capitalism is making life hell for the working class. The future is rich vs. poor.
I live in a massive manufactured home community. It's a city of manufactured homes. It's an actual city with streets and a sewer system and a government. They're not like old school trailers, they are manufactured homes. There is no lot rent. The lot and home are both owned as one. There are many home owners here, but there are also many renters here, too. So anyway, the rents for these places were like $500 per month about a dozen years ago. But what has been happening is when a homeowner sells their home or they pass away, the home ends up getting bought by a corporation who intends to rent the home out, and the corporation is often a corporation from another state. Then they go into the home and do repairs. Sometimes they do good repairs, but often they just put a new coat of paint on it. They don't fix the roof or put in a new AC or put in new floors or put in new plumbing. Sometimes they might put in new appliances. Then they put it up for rent at $2000. Then a family usually moves in quickly because that family is in a tough spot and can't afford to rent a concrete block home for $3500 per month. So they end up paying $2000 per month just for an older manufactured home which needs repairs. The wages around here are low and definitely don't support that price, so the family sometimes gets evicted after just one year. It's really sad. That situation is common here, too.
Who is running the community? Who determines snow removal and community buildings? Do you have a group like an HOA, but for your manufactured home community? This "HOA" needs to make rules of no renting. The owner must live on site. (You can rent out a room in your trailer, but you must be present as the owner).
Black Rock is in this business. They say by 2030 you won't own anything and you'll be happy. I don't know about the happy part but they aren't fooling around us not owning anything.
We will soon become generations of refugees in our own countries. It would be better to invest in a campervan than a "mobile home". I can't afford to retire. If I'm lucky, I'll work till I drop.

@@Behind_the_Wall_of_Sleep Everything you wrote is exactly how I feel 100%. I have this urge to drop all the balls I'm trying to juggle in the air. This feeling of dread is overwhelming and I sometimes wake up at night choking. It's fast becoming impossible to even exist anymore. I've begun letting go of thoughts of things I believed I needed. My life has whittled itself down to food and shelter and medicine. When something like shoes wears out, I'll buy a cheap pair. I'm learning Depression Era cooking. Waiting for the bottom to fall out though.
Not just for housing...look what Private Equity Firms have done to once beloved companies like Sears, Toys R Us, etc. The come in, saddle the company with debt that they can never repay and then pick apart it's carcass bit by bit!
I have been saying it for 2 years, the single biggest thing we can do to free up affordable housing and get a handle on a rental prices is to push private equity out of owning single family homes. I'm not a huge fan of government regulation, but this is one place I would have no problem setting a boundary that only private individuals can own single family homes, and even then there should be a reasonable number of homes you can own.
I agree- large corporations should not be allowed to purchase single family homes and small investors should be restricted to the number of homes they are allowed to own- we had a man in my town owned 450 homes and they were all shitholes- there needs to be some regulating with this
this has happened in Canada as well..most rent in almost every "city" has doubled in less than 10 years .homeless issues in canada is a major issue and government is paying lip servise to fixing it..this Private equity stratagy is happing in most western countrys now.

This is happening where I live. Manufactured homes were suppose to be affordable housing. Now seniors disablled or retired are facing rent increases that price them out of their homes. Rents so high slow private sales basically trapping us. Seniors are the highest percentage of homelessness and suicides. No one in the U.S. should allow seniors to come to a choice of homeless or suicide. Stop the corporate takeover of affordable housing and give the seniors the dignity to retire without financial ruin.
They lease they made me sign says I need to give them 3 months notice before I sell. And pay them 1000.00 if I'm on lease. Which they make you sign. Lot rent was 330.00 Now its 550.00.

Corporations should not be allowed to purchase residential land
I've been saying that same thing for the past few years. Stop corporations and investors from purchasing single family homes. Housing has gotten so expensive because of these investors that even basic started homes are now unaffordable for many people.
It’s easier to say that large $1B PE firms can’t purchase single family homes.

The greed in this country is obscene. The inhumanity is cruel.
That's why we have been dumped world wide. Never thought I would live to see America turn into a pariah to the entire time world. Disgraceful.
Greed is human nature. Our modern economy is founded on human greed and it's an incredible motivator. The issue is that for finite resources like land, unlike any other thing you can accumulate (like money or material goods) you can't make more of it and thus it's ripe for the situation where people buy the land and then charge people for its use despite doing nothing except being there first to buy the land. To fix this we need the government to impose a land value tax so that they actually use land for useful things instead of collecting rents from people who actually need it.

Something they dont talk about is how over 25% of new home were actually bought by investors, not people looking to live there. Even if boomers sell all the houses or more home become available, the problem wont go away, as wealthy investors will still buy up those supply of houses. This will keep the houses prices up.
Not a word about banks, equity firms, Blackrock, buying up houses after the 2008 cruises as assets. You cannot discuss the housing cruises without discussing this.nOr discussing that largest luxury houses generate more profit than smaller non-luxury. Developers build for profit.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

I'm from Denver. You could once rent a decent single bedroom apartment in an acceptable neighborhood for $400/mo. Those same apartments with no real added value (and worse mold) now rent for $1400+/mo less than 15 years later. It's absurd. Even if you can afford that, why would you WANT to? What a waste of money.

When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!
Laws are always demands made by the ruling class upon their subjects. The only difference is that nowadays those who rule us have been able to cast a wider and wider net with fewer and fewer concessions.
So you're right - it's just that law is inherently unjust because of the power disparities that underpin it, so rebellion against it as a system never ceases to be a duty.
When people agree with injustice, they become slaves. And slaves have rebellion never.

It's not just greed; it's the lack of responsibility. Thanks to convoluted legal loopholes, private equity firms have *no liability* when things go wrong with stuff they manage. As such, they have no inclination to treat anyone humanely or with any form of decency, because they won't be held responsible even when people _die_ as a result of their horrible policies. (One of them literally got out of a wrongful death lawsuit by claiming this.) And they've bought all the politicians so thoroughly that this situation isn't changing any time soon.
Private Equity should be BANNED from buying into the public trust. Housing, hospitals, et al. BANNED!!!! And citizens should come together to purchase and have 1st right of refusal when trying to put together financing for the purchase of their park.
This would be awesome! I just hope that residents actually get together. We tried to do that when they're owner of the park sold, here told me us to get together but I no one was ready to on such shirt notice. It was a sad day when the new landlord came and immediately talked about charging for water and raising the rent.

To my own research In USA, individuals living in cars due to partial homelessness result from a complex interplay of factors. High housing costs relative to income, stagnant wages, and income inequality drive this issue. Job loss, weak social support, medical expenses, evictions, and lack of affordable housing also contribute, while systemic problems and inadequate policies further perpetuate the phenomenon.
Considering the present situation, diversifying by shifting investments from real estate to financial markets or gold is recommended, despite potential future home price drops. Given prevailing mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, this move is prudent, particularly due to stricter mortgage regulations. Seeking advice from a knowledgeable independent financial advisor is advisable for those seeking guidance.
I've remained in touch with a financial analyst since the start of my business. Amid today's dynamic market, the key difficulty is pinpointing the right time to buy or sell when dealing with trending stocks - a seemingly simple task but challenging in reality. My portfolio has grown by more than 5 figures within just a year, and i have entrusted my advisor with the task of determining entry and exit points.
Could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation, and I'm seeking a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize them.

Man, watching this makes me wonder if my $143k 'emergency fund' could turn into something more than just a number in my savings account. Private equity snapping up housing? Ruthless, yeah, but maybe they’re onto something. Like, should I be ruthless too? I just want a head start-without turning into a corporate overlord. Thoughts?
I hear you! But maybe don't jump straight into 'ruthless mode.' I started out thinking I could do it all myself, then a financial advisor showed me the ropes. Game changer. Definitely worth considering if you want to keep that $143k growing without losing sleep over it.
Totally agree, but how do you even find a good advisor? Everyone’s either selling something or too vague to trust. I know I need one, but figuring out where to start feels like its own investment strategy.

Hola mi hermano de Brazil! Hi there. I just wanted to say hello from the USA!
I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighbourhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighbourhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
Personally, I can connect to that. When I began working with a fiduciary financial counsellor, my advantages were certain. I got into the market early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2021 this time with guidance, Long story short, its been 2years now and I’ve gained over a million dollars following guidance from my investment adviser.
This is huge! think you can point me towards the direction of your advisor? been looking at advisory management myself.. seeking ways to invest and make more money with the uncertainty in the economy.

I live in a mobile home community in AZ. Encore bought it in 2016 from private owners. Since that time, my rent has SKYROCKETED over 220%! It has significantly impacted my quality of life. When all of your income goes directly to housing, there’s nothing left over to have a life. They raised the yearly rent another $1,000+ for 2025 and now residents have to pay for garbage, internet, and basic cable which was included in prior years. Also, we are now required to our own yard work, which again was included in prior years. Upsetting to see an 80 year old neighbor on her hands and knees pulling weeds. Corporate rent gouging and greed in its most disgusting form.
All those things you mentioned rent & contractional agreements assure that people won't be able to keep up with being priced out in the future and in conjunction to not being able to physically maintain your property grounds therefore; making the tenant non-compliant which assures corporations/they're partners in crime "Governments" that the land will soon be abandoned so that they can forge ahead with whatever the plan is for it, like is happening around the world. At the end of the day it's about getting better control over the people who soon won't be able to make any decisions for themselves; the writings on the wall and has been for a long time. Blue states, Red states, Black, white, brown, yellow (with the exception of those who travel light years to help out earth) Christian or Muslim are in the same sinking boat; the plan is complete total dominance over humanity. They're professional instigating of turning people against each other with wars, racism and poverty the powers that be have caused us to be so distracted that now even if your eyes are starting to open it's TOO LATE to stop the plan! The good news is nothing last forever, not even your pain and suffering it is only for a short while. Spiritual battles cannot be defeated by man....
Ismerica was a good growth story for many decades because Jooish and WHTE executives only sought to exploit cheap labor overseas, like Nike. However, Ismerica is no longer growing, it's in decline.

Affordable housing?? Lot rent is 600 to 1,400 a month.........
They are preying on the poor. And shocker - they get the highest revenue off it in the real estate industry. Goes to show that just like Bernie said, "it's expensive being poor."
They will come after the middle class next, then the upper class. Its all orchestrated. You will own nothing and be happy.
The way these corporations are preying upon and putting the squeeze on the poorest of the poor is beyond obscene! If I had to pay through the nose for a dilapidated trailer house, dirty tap water, non-functioning pool and deserted community center, I'd be royally pissed too! Any guy who can buy and sell dozens of mansions like it's no bid deal while his tenants are facing eviction deserves a special place in hell!
And in jail first.
Canadian here. We also suffer similar abuses due to the increasing financialization of housing (treating housing as an investment, rather than a human right). How many times have we been assured that "the market will provide affordable housing" (!) when the most cursory glance at conditions reveals this to be a blatant lie. In Toronto, the ending of any kind of rent control has meant that the average rent for a one bedroom apartment is now $2400 per month. Our provincial government thinks building single family homes in the suburbs is "affordable housing". It is all about greed, urban sprawl and profits over people.
You need to vote Turdo out of office. I'm sorry. I mispelled the name. It's Trudeau
Tents in parks are the new affordable housing sad but reality. I am also Canadian in Ontario
What these people have proven to me is that the market can't do ANYTHING right or fairly and we should abolish capitalism.

Praying isn't going to cut it. You should see the lot rents in Phoenix, AZ for mobile home owners. And of course the lot rent makes their mobile home worthless. The lot rent precludes them from ever selling their home. Lot rent is commonly in the $800-$900 range. And of course, its worse in CA, OR, WA

You have to THREATEN legislators unfortunately. I don't mean with violence. . .but paint a picture of homeless people all milling about in their hi falootin' business districts, panhandling people on the way to work. Appealing to their sense of right and wrong won't work. Never does.
This is happening with my mother's community. 1 month after she downsizes into a manufactured home in a 55 plus community north of Pittsburgh, private equity buys the community, raises lot rent by over 40% and starts passing previously covered utilities like water and trash to the tenants.
Exactly. That's what the "trickle down" criminals are doing to many Americans. Many elderly are in these parks and are being ruthlessly exploited by the filthy rich and at a time it's hardest where they are on fixed incomes and can't do anything like they could when younger. It's crazy the government is allowing this
They know that Pittsburgh is inexpensive too.
Anything to make life difficult for people who are already struggling.
Its a messed up world :/
Yeah, we find a solution to handle her tightening budget, I buy a modular home in a nice community and have it remodeled for her. I was happy to do it so she could maintain her independence and self sufficieny. She moves from her high rent apartment, expecting a $450ish monthly fixed cost and bam, price increase most of the way back to her old rent and I have thousands invested in the building so now we're committed long term. It's like the video said, it's hard to get out of these places without a significant cost.
Only families and citizens should own homes. Corporations as well as investors from other nations should not legally be considered individuals or citizens. Our courts NEED to rule on this.
What proportion of homes do Blackrock and Vanguard own in America?
Good idea but we need to pass laws. In light of the Supreme Court criminalizing homelessness. I don’t have much faith in the courts
I disagree with "families and citizens". Many people do not have families but are citizens who worked for their homes. What I strongly disagree with is the government giving border crossers that benefit at the cost of letting US citizens go homeless.

Here in the Uk we have an equivalent, it’s called Leasehold. It could be a caravan or a house or a flat but the land it’s on is privately owned and ‘leased’ to the owners of the property.

If you can afford it don’t buy a leasehold property.
The problem with this country is that it pretends to fight poverty but actually just fights poor people. It takes away all options for the poor and leaves luxury as the only choice, and nobody can afford it. We tear down cheap "ugly" apartments and build fancy ones.

There are more of us than them. We must organize.
A company like this had my grandmas bank account on auto-pay. They charged her rent this month, after she had already passed. The private equity firm that owns the park took extra time processing the title so they could charge a dead woman who survived off social security and food stamps.

The housing market is inflated and oversaturated with homes being on the market with astronomical price tags just stagnant for months. It is very clear that our generation will be likely one of the most devastating bubble pops in modern history. Seeking best possible ways to grow 250k into $1m+ and get a good house for retirement, I'm 54.
I don't think here is the place for personalized investment guidance. However, I suggest consulting with a reliable advisor like Azul to ensure appropriate retirement planning.
I’m closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in over 80% profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years. Maybe you should consider this too
I've been considering getting one, but haven't been proactive about it. Can you recommend your advisor? I could really use some assistance.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Sophia Maurine Lanting” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach on web. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.

Agreed, investing with the help of an advisor set me up for life. Retired with about $1.6m in stock portfolio only. I worked hard everyday as a teacher for 32 years, and my salary was over 100k annually. Supplementing my income with stocks and alternative investments helped me by far beat the retirement age before 65.
I've worked in real estate for over 25 years and have neglected a major stock portfolio. This served me well when I was flipping and renting houses, however I need a different plan now.. mind if I look up the professional guiding you please?

excellent share, Just looked up her name and spotted her consulting page ranked top. after reviewing her credentials i reached out to her.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
In the 80's my Dad worked a modest job, Mom stayed at home and raised the kids, and they lived a nice middle class lifestyle including owning a home. Nowadays both I and my partner works and can barely afford to make ends meet. Soon the kids and family dog will need to work to keep this household going. It's the destruction of the American dream right before our eyes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I was a late bloomer, but Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, my financial advisor helped me bring it all together and got me into crypto.

Not real big, but together with SS we're able to live reasonably with 160k a year. While being mortgage free.

Does your brain still function? Are you creative or smart enough to do more with your life than watch tv or sleep 12 hours a day. Can you support your community to gain new friends and skills? I lived in a rented room for $400 in the military because my family was in a different state. I had to pay all the taxes and rent for that area and pay for my small bedroom just to support our government to keep everyone safe. I had no car and barely enough to eat on - luckily the base had a food court which I lived off $10 a day on food. I did this for a year because I had to. Today I have pain pump and spinal stimulators and still have to provide. How I did this and continue is I don’t watch TV, I don’t go out, I just work and come home in extreme pain, work using my brain on projects. What happened in the past sucks but it had to be done. Today I know what I did helped countless others to live in a free nation. So take the money you get for free, and work to better yourself.

Corporations and foreign investors should not be allowed to own residential property. Eliminating that, along with "mortgage-backed securities" would go a long way to solving the housing-price problem.
Neither candidate is going to make this better. The system is broken. Extreme capitalism is making life hell for the working class. The future is rich vs. poor.
I live in a massive manufactured home community. It's a city of manufactured homes. It's an actual city with streets and a sewer system and a government. They're not like old school trailers, they are manufactured homes. There is no lot rent. The lot and home are both owned as one. There are many home owners here, but there are also many renters here, too. So anyway, the rents for these places were like $500 per month about a dozen years ago. But what has been happening is when a homeowner sells their home or they pass away, the home ends up getting bought by a corporation who intends to rent the home out, and the corporation is often a corporation from another state. Then they go into the home and do repairs. Sometimes they do good repairs, but often they just put a new coat of paint on it. They don't fix the roof or put in a new AC or put in new floors or put in new plumbing. Sometimes they might put in new appliances. Then they put it up for rent at $2000. Then a family usually moves in quickly because that family is in a tough spot and can't afford to rent a concrete block home for $3500 per month. So they end up paying $2000 per month just for an older manufactured home which needs repairs. The wages around here are low and definitely don't support that price, so the family sometimes gets evicted after just one year. It's really sad. That situation is common here, too.
What state is this?
Who is running the community? Who determines snow removal and community buildings? Do you have a group like an HOA, but for your manufactured home community?
This "HOA" needs to make rules of no renting. The owner must live on site. (You can rent out a room in your trailer, but you must be present as the owner).

Not just for housing...look what Private Equity Firms have done to once beloved companies like Sears, Toys R Us, etc. The come in, saddle the company with debt that they can never repay and then pick apart it's carcass bit by bit!

@beachdweller3378 and our govement bailed out all of these shitty companies during the pandemic. Not even the govement cares.
No, K-Mart killed Sears through mismanagement, that wasn't private equity.
I have been saying it for 2 years, the single biggest thing we can do to free up affordable housing and get a handle on a rental prices is to push private equity out of owning single family homes. I'm not a huge fan of government regulation, but this is one place I would have no problem setting a boundary that only private individuals can own single family homes, and even then there should be a reasonable number of homes you can own.
I agree- large corporations should not be allowed to purchase single family homes and small investors should be restricted to the number of homes they are allowed to own- we had a man in my town owned 450 homes and they were all shitholes- there needs to be some regulating with this

This is horrible ! It needs to stop ! Greedy corporations! Shame on these private equity firms! Shame on you!
Maga money 💰
I don't know if you've noticed, but Republicans today, they don't know that word. Or ethics. Or morals. And the Republican voters don't know the word decency as well
Its not surprising since most of the CEO/share/investor holder either jew or chinese.
This is happening where I live. Manufactured homes were suppose to be affordable housing. Now seniors disablled or retired are facing rent increases that price them out of their homes. Rents so high slow private sales basically trapping us. Seniors are the highest percentage of homelessness and suicides. No one in the U.S. should allow seniors to come to a choice of homeless or suicide. Stop the corporate takeover of affordable housing and give the seniors the dignity to retire without financial ruin.
Parasites will always look for new opportunities
They lease they made me sign says I need to give them 3 months notice before I sell. And pay them 1000.00 if I'm on lease. Which they make you sign.
Lot rent was 330.00
Now its 550.00.
@@trudybarnhart2423 Thats sad. Greed is the new norm at the expense of those who can't afford. Our lot rent went to 850 and they no longer do yard maintenance or tree work leaving on elder residents who are financially strapped. The street lights in here light for about 60 seconds before turning back off and we have a Cayote problem killing the park cats. They also wont allow residents to go to clubhouse during violent storms here on west coast Florida. New resident pay 1050. in lot rent. It's a sin.
@@stacyhochstein61451050 for a mobile home park is insanity
Why do seniors get dignity when poor young ppl don’t?
Or middle age ppl?
Old ppl don’t get anything for being old.
Except here they get subsidized income 🙄 just because they’re old. My aunt got SS and had hundreds of thousands. And she got Medicare! But poor families can’t get any income or Medicaid unless they literally have nothing.
Don't forget that many pensions are invested in private equity firms. So the very pension check these people receive could be from the firm owning the trailer park.
European here: I've been there, visited the country and came to the conclusion that I didn't want to live in the US even if you would pay me big bucks to do so. The people there no longer know any limits when it comes to taking advantage of others. All aspects of life are just about money money money and money only. Everything revolves around the God of money. One day they will suffocate from their greed for money.
Sooner than they think!
Mind if I jump across the pond and join ya? 😉😁🌍😂🤪🤣😎
American here >> Oh how I feel your sentiments. It can feel like it's crushing you. The only thing keeping me afloat is my faith and thankfully I live a beautiful life here with God somehow providing what I need in the midst of said pressure! I am so blessed by Him and him alone.
@@tamhiker1 Try to accept that a lot of people see reality a bit differently than you. Respectful coexistence is something we all need to strive for.
More than 50% of my mortgage payment goes on interest, my property taxes are going up 10% and homeowners insurance is going up 28.75%. Some food prices have doubled.
More Perfect Union... Please do a story on this situation: I live in a rent restricted 55+ apartment complex in Stafford, VA. Bought by Blackstone and now the rents are going up crazy every year. Many people have already had to move. Idk who has ended up on the streets. No end in sight. 😢 We don't even know how to check to see if they are raising rents above the restrictions. Most of us live on SS and/or are disabled.
Yet - women will happily marry these private equity losers….
Nothing has changed since Adam & Eve
Call your city government. Vote. Attend your city council meetings. A lot of times, companies if they are checked by the city, can be in big trouble if they evict seniors or the disabled.
They aren't evicting. People are just leaving because they can't pay the rent anymore. As l said, many are disabled, including myself. Idk if I have the mental, physical, or emotional wherewithal to pursue meetings or to be an advocate for all of us. That's why I was asking them to do a story on our situation.
