Not saying I disagree. But, you could be waiting for a long time. Banks will always get bailed out.

I agree. We have these young kids in my office paying $1800 a month for a studio in Houston.

GTFO with that noise.

I'm sure Hawaiian residents are going to be economically empowered by the collapse of their real estate market because their dominant sector is gone.


Hawaii is definitely on the extreme end of the argument and not really what I meant. I'm talking places like Nashville, Austin, New Orleans, Portland, etc. Places where tourism is big, but places that could also afford a little more housing inventory for locals.

What they didn't publicize in this is the fact it's not that payments are tacked onto the end of your loan. It's that when the deferment is over, the full amount you would have paid is due. Meaning if your note is $1,000 per month and you defer for 12 months, your amount due month 13 is $13,000.


Who could be advantaged by doing this? I guarantee you that someone who can't come up with $1000 a month for a couple of months with unemployment (and the USG kicker) ain't making no $13K balloon payment in month 13. What moron thinks this helps anyone?

Defer by adding 12 months on to the current mortgage termination date, where can I sign up?

China wins, not Wall Street.

They will buy buying up blocks of houses and apartments.

I’m lucky my homes are paid off and in good shape which reduces unexpected costly repairs.

I only have to pay the insurance, taxes, pest control, and minor unexpected repairs.

Over the years I have worked with my tenants. Most of them had a bad few months here and there which I always worked with them.

Finding tenants that have been in my units some up to 10 yrs that treat my property like their personal home is golden.

A trillion dollars. That’s 999,000 million dollars plus another 1,000 million. Crazy. Bernie Sandets lives.

Do you expect your salary to get lower because of this?

Where do you think Chinese investors hold their money?
With JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, BOA etc
Foreign investors get involved in the Unites States, and the banks help them invest their money

Ripping apart crappy neighborhoods of shite and putting in luxury high rises
In that case, I’m for it

Airbnb etc was a very good idea for people that wanted to rent their place out or rent out their second home. It is a problem when everyday joe's are essentially a hotel owner with a bunch of units and a bunch of debt.



Agree.

All I've stayed in except one were renovated apartments on the owner's property. Either above their garage or in a renovated small building on the property or renovated basement.. something of that sort.

I have no interest in buying places to use as AirBnb, but I would definitely consider renting out a guest house or vacation home.

Someone on this board AirBnb'd out his old marital home post-divorce when he and his ex wife had moved out and he was paying 2 mortgages between that home and his new one. Really nice home he was able to rent out for a lot of $$.. and it was when the BR movie industry was at its peak so got booked regularly.

I want to say he never had to pay the mortgage out of pocket once he started doing that, and the house remained on the market the entire time until it finally sold. I'd be glad to have AirBnb as an option in that situation.

I have a record shop but also record music / dj. A lot of friends work in entertainment (musicians, djs, sound tech, music lawyers) and/or own bars/clubs. . .
Basically, a lot of people that are likely to be affected to various degrees until bands touring and clubs/bars scenes are back in full swing.

I live in Clinton Hill.

I wonder how long it will be before "if you sign a new lease today, we can spread that back rent out over the course of the new lease" deals start popping up.


Or they will just leave and go find a new place. A uhaul costs a lot less than paying 3 months of back rent.

I’m heavy in IVR & MITT. They’re definitely not killing it but it’s a fantastic time to load up very cheaply on these two with great dividends.

Good.

Short term rentals are an annoying fad and needed a kick in the pants.

AirBnB set the market because people started buying up properties that should’ve been family homes and essentially turned them into hotels.
