Illegals aren’t buying houses.

Buy an acre, put a trailer on it, then build your own home paying as you go. It doesn’t have to be a mansion. It’s not easy, but it’s doable.

Losing that demand would still ultimately end up lowering RE prices for homebuyers

This seems like a way to just mask unaffordable housing. Doesn't solve the issue.

It makes people essentially serfs.

Demand for things not happening. Nice.

Unless you are going with rentals will hit the market which could be.

This will be fun in the ABS market. Might have to do a couple real estate deals to get in on that.

They are renting.

Losing that market is going to depress housing prices across the board.

Technically they wouldn't even have to. Rental pricing getting too low compared to mortgage payments will result in more people renting and removing that demand from the SF ownership cohort, which will depress RE values that way, too.

It would probably happen from both angles.

The law would need to be changed. This would be illegal due to the Dodd-Frank act.

This isn’t happening. Anywhere. Rental prices are and have been exceeding mortgages. I’m not sure why people even rent anymore, other than they cannot afford the upkeep and down payments (and even that is being absorbed).

Genius. But you obviosuly didnt pay it off by making that 30yr fixed payement for 30yrs

Almsot everyone doesnt. And especially now. Does anyone think someone buying a 750k home is gonna pay it off with a 30yr loan making the same payment for 30yrs

Only a fool like powerbottom would think that

That's not entirely accurate .gif

Average rents are cheaper than average mortgage payments (homeowners insurance and property taxes included) in all 50 of the largest U.S. metros in 2025, with the cost difference between the two growing in all but 12 of those metros since last year, according to Bankrate’s Rent vs. Buy Study.

Over the last year, the study found average mortgage payments (including principal, interest, homeowners insurance and property taxes) increased while average rents either declined or remained stable in nearly all the metros we analyzed.

Housing experts said the fact that it’s cheaper to rent in all 50 metros in 2025 is a broader reflection of rental and housing market conditions across the country. High mortgage and home prices, combined with limited housing inventory, have created a high barrier to entry for aspiring homeowners. Rising property taxes and homeowners insurance rates are also straining homeowners’ budgets. At the same time, rents have experienced a slowdown in growth and rental inventory has dramatically increased, giving renters more options to choose from.


But, remove 20M illegals and watch it happen on steroids

Do you even save money on a 50 year mortgage?

Go from 3300/mo to 3000 on an average home?

Because it is.
The average age of a first time home buyer is now 40 years old.
So you do the math.
