Did you not do home inspections on each?


Not doing inspections puts the buyer at risk. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

I didnt give it a prompt. But great excuse

You’re conflating a ‘mom-and-pop’ investor with a REIT, and the numbers don't back you up. Small investors use standard 1-4 unit investor loans with higher rates and 25% down. They do not have access to the 'cheat code' Trump’s 2026 EO actually targets: Bulk GSE Securitization and HUD-guaranteed portfolio financing. Large Institutional Investors (LIIs) aren't just 'small investors at scale'; they are using federal programs designed for 'market stabilization' in 2008 that effectively became permanent subsidies to outbid families in the Sun Belt.

?Calling the removal of a corporate subsidy ‘more government manipulation’ is an Olympic-level reach. If you actually wanted a free market, you’d support the government stopping its insurance and securitization of billionaire rental portfolios. You’re effectively arguing that the government should keep its thumb on the scale for Wall Street while calling the attempt to remove that thumb 'interference.

That’s not a principle; it’s a contradiction.

Shocking you are doing what you do

I'm for removing government, including government-backed insurance.

Securitization is a private endeavor.

Again, you gave AI bad prompts. You clearly did not input my actual policy positions.

Just like MAGA will be defending government manipulation of free markets



There are a few areas I dont mind the Gov introducing barriers to stop the abuse and market manipulation by large hedge funds and PE on SFH is one of them.

PE should also not be allowed to manipulate whole industries like they are currently trying to do to the dental industry and a few others.

No I responded directly to your 2nd AI answer. You gave it bad and incomplete prompts again.

The market typically responds, though. PE is in the private credit crash for this exact reason.

Same with the large institutional investors who took it on the chin when the RE market flipped in 2022-2023

If you look at the geographical location of the investments, they're in markets that are having major issues, like TX, Florida, etc.



FYI, a major part of the reason those markets are having issues is that the hedge funds are dumping inventory and are willing to take a huge loss to do so. It has caused a ton of issues and further supports why large institutional investors shouldn't be allowed to dominate a local market.

Yeah that was part of the post.

These actors are already existing the market, taking huge losses (which is the risk for larger actors engage in these behaviors), and have caused the rent to mortgage ratio to flip.

There is no reason at all, at this point, to ban them. The market has already punished them for their hubris.

Boomers paying much lower property tax due to laws favoring them and outbidding young men and women for housing with cash offers, preventing them from starting families is a far bigger problem than what Wall Street is doing One age group gets more benefits than the rest of us, the average home buyer age has gone to a record-high.


I LOVE how liberals scream their misinformed ideas so lucky and proudly. It’s very entertaining. Please Mr Liberal explain to me how I pay less tax on property that’s assessed for VALUE than a whiney arse millennial does. My neighbor is 26. I’m double his age. With both just bought new lots and built same square foot houses. Same fencing. Same grass. Same trees. What is really happening is your shitty generation for the most part not fiscally responsible nor have good paying jobs. My height has both hence he has a brand new house in an upscale neighborhood.

Yes

The downside to the SFH market responding is that when these funds can dump properties at a loss, it artificially brings down the entire market.

The consequences of that are a loss to homeowners and even a rise in foreclosures.

You would think that's a positive for buyers but it really isn't as the market could be driven down so much that recovery is very slow.

There is nothing positive about institutional investors being in the SFH business. They drive up rents, can and are willing to overpay and even take huge losses. They can wreck a whole market

At least with smaller investors like a mom and pop operation, they don't have the money to manipulate and entire market or neighborhood.

FYI, there are still funds trying to buy even after the fire sale in FL and other areas started. They just shifted focus to other states. I know because I get contacted all of the time about bidding to maintain these homes and just last week one from NY reached out to me about bidding on a contract to maintain some properties in 3 states.

One very large company that does what I do set up separate offices, complete with a warehouse and trucks in Houston, Dallas, and VA just to manage SFH rentals for large investors. That's how big it has gotten.

Not all funds buying these houses are the size of Blackstone. Karios Living owns a ton all over LC, Sulphur, and Moss Bluff.

I was about to say, here come the boomers who bought their houses for $50k criticizing how this spoils the younger generation or some other geriatric BS.


PAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is the dumbest statement here. IF someone would have bought a house for $50k the slump lords would have bought it and turned it into a to a ghetto 40 years ago you idiot. Hence the great white flight out of all major cities. Every liberal idea that’s been thrown out in this thread are complete made up propaganda brainwashing bullshite. Grow up get a job or two and save money. That’s the key not blaming others with some mystical bullshite told to you by CNN.
