re: Blackrock is buying every single-family house they can & paying 20-50% above asking price

Sounds like in addition to BlackRock, there are some legit Texas born and bred companies like DRHorton, David Weekley and Lennar (etc) who are aligned w the strategy. Major land grabbers with huge wallets. Lots of materials leverage.
Really makes you think about this more. It's an unstoppable biz strategy. 100 homes for 32M is nothing to these people.

BlackRock is big on Social Justice investing and policy....

Exactly
When the bubble pops and investors demand returns, all the ESG bullshite will fade with the quickness.

I almost have a bigger problem with these companies.
They buy out a ton of land, build cheap cookie cutter housing that they know exactly what will happen with and move on. The Northshore over here is becoming over populated because developers just keep taking down land and putting up subdivisions like this. Eventually it’s going to turn to cheap housing and lead to blight and crime.

Not enough people are talking about the "great reset" and how real it is.
fricking terrifying.

Hmmmmmm who owns and operates BLACKROCK??? A man named LARRY FINK. Seems like every time you turn over a slimey rock there is a kosher turd underneath.

Why are you only pointing out that one transaction and ignoring the rest? Even so, they still paid over market for those and that hurts the market. It raises comps and takes a lot of inventory off of the market at once while there are still a lot of buyers ready.

Second, those who want to own homes can still do so; they just can’t in that subdivision.
Are you really this stupid or just being obtuse? Of course they can still own but this is creating artificial shortages and will drive prices to where some of those buyers turn to renters.

They have targeted the food supply heavily as well. It is a an all out war right now on family/privately owned farms and ranches, especially ranches and cattle producers.

Well I mean that's the entire point of them buying up so many homes. Make money on the rent, watch prices still go up until the bubble pops, dump the houses, make a killing, watch entire neighborhoods go Section 8 as the government keeps expanding welfare programs for votes.

Yep, they are trying to force us into a collective where they will run the show, all in the name of equity and fairness. Just like the Bolsheviks promised before the Red Coup. Look how that turned out for the vast majority of Russians, yet the leadership and their families lived in comfort, privilege and affluence.

They are not causing the trend; they are capitalizing on it.
You do realize that there are already whole developments built with tax credit AKA free Government money? Every state gets tax credits every year to allocate towards housing. There is a development in Lake Charles that not only got enough tax credits to build 100+ homes but also got "Road Home" money after Rita to buy the site and build the development out.

A company like Blackrock knows these programs exist and if that was their endgame they could very easily be doing that already. They aren't paying above-market in anticipation of an event that may or may not happen like the Government all of a sudden subsidizing more than they already do.

They are going to destroy all spec middle class neighborhoods and move section 8 in them thereby creating an even bigger strain on inventory. This is a Democrats wet dream happening before our eyes and it’s not happenstance.

dump the houses, make a killing,
Who are they going to dump the houses to in case of a pop for enough to "make a killing"? Investors like Blackrock were buying blocks of houses as far back as the last pop but they want them cheap. Blackrock paying above-market is a new thing and concerning as to their motives.
There are other smaller groups that buy large blocks of houses from the bank's REO departments. I deal in the foreclosure industry in multiple states and see it often. Some have reached out to us to rehab for them but none of them have near the buying power of Blackrock or pay above market.

It pays less. There are caps to it but it's not the only way housing is subsidized.
The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program I mentioned is a bit different than section 8 and can allow a tiered rent system that is offset by tax credits so realistically the owner can move a low-income tenant in and still technically get market rates when all is factored in.
A lot of people are unaware this even exists because the companies that snap up the $8 billion annually to develop new housing don't want the competition.
