SIAP: Looks like Baton Rouge is finally experiencing a bait n switch style neighborhood similar to cities like Houston who've experienced this before. The developer gives the illusion that all 120 plus homes will be single-family sold houses, then midstream they turn the whole thing into rental. I feel bad for the surrounding area homeowners.

Lots of those popping up around me, north Houston. A few are extremely nice, but most look like there will be abandoned Dodge Chargers in 3 months.

Damn I was hoping this wouldn't really happen in Louisiana.

This is by design and what the globalists want.

Yep, my BIL said the exact same thing, he's in Santa Fe (Galveston county). Said if you follow the money it's actually Blackrock involved with the developers.

They are in bed with Horton and a few other national homebuilders. I just didn't think Louisiana was a big enough market for this.

Theres a market to rent out neighborhoods like this and sell them to bigger private equity firms. Also, when houses are not selling and you still have to pay the continually rising interest on your loans you took out to develop the land, you need cashflow

This guy has other developments in BR and out in Zachary

His first red flag should have been that DR Horton is the developer

Buy land. Any amount you can.

One acre or 100. The last private citizens to hold any kind of influence will be land owners.

I’m questioning whether they can even rent out all these houses for the price they are asking.

Blackrock doesn't directly buy SFHs as investments


quote:

A number of other large asset managers and private equity firms are very active today in purchasing single-family residences. BlackRock is sometimes confused with them.

As a fiduciary asset manager, we invest and manage capital on behalf of our clients in a vast array of public and private U.S. real estate markets – but buying individual homes is not one of them.

Below are facts on how we DO participate in the U.S. real estate market. Combined, we are investing approximately $120 billion1 in the U.S. residential real estate market on behalf of our clients.

Bottom line: BlackRock is an active investor in the U.S. real estate market, but we are not among the institutional investors buying single-family homes.

The developer installed a tall fence around the property and built a detention pond


Is this where they send the neighbors who complain too much?
