Buy up as much housing as you can.

“Provide value to the world”
What value is this scumbag providing? He’s fucking over renters by removing rental properties from the market. And he’s not even providing with to buyers because he’s doing jack-shit to improve the properties when he puts them on the market.
All he’s doing is lining his own pockets at the cost of other less fortunate people. Fucking sanctimonious hypocrite.
Another way in which the game is like real capitalism: you can make all the smart plans you want and still get screwed over by not being lucky enough.
In monopoly, it’s dice tosses, in real life it’s usually inherited wealth and/or having the right connections through no merit of your own.
Someone should sell the recipe of success by teaching others how to sell the recipe of success.
They do… And it is terrible.
Federal tax the primary residence property at 0% of council rates, fed tax the 2nd at 200% council rates, the 3rd at 300%, etc.
Council rates are managed by local government authority and are driven by property value.
Order the properties by primary residence first, then lowest value to highest.
When folks start paying an extra 7-8k a year for their 4th property, 10k for their 5th, it might stop being worth it.
In Holland we have wooncorporaties, which are non-profit companies that own apartments and rent them out. They are cheap, and usually there is a maximum income for tenants. There is a waiting list, and a lot of people add their names as soon as they turn 18.
The Dutch housing market is fucked, but these are good, and would not be possible if you restricted them to a single apartment.
eh I'm OK with summertime having a vacation home
but like someone above u said, just tax the fuck out of each next home on an exponential scale

Yeah, because people who hate landlords always love real estate speculation vultures. 🙄
Don’t play even more dumb than you doubtlessly are.
You mean that you were being sarcastic? Or you think I’m dumb for pointing out that just because landlords exploit poor people doesn’t mean real estate speculation doesn’t hurt poor people?
It’s easier to know how wrong you’re being when you use more than one word.
You mean that you were being sarcastic?
Ding ding ding, we got a winner
Nobody forced you to misunderstand my post
Yeah, your comment being extremely unclear kinda did
and then get super upset about it
Who says I’m super upset? Annoyance with your combination of idiocy and arrogance does not equal “super upset” 😄
That’s all on you.
Nope.
Meaning that people that are renting will be able to buy and build equity
If they can afford to/get approved for a loan to be able to afford it. They can’t. That’s why they rent rather than buy.
The system and vultures like this guy make it much cheaper to already be rich than to be poor and you’re acting like he’s doing people a favor by pricing them out of their homes.
Why wouldn’t get they approved?
Because banks tend not to give loans to poor people. At least not ones without predatory terms and ruinously high interest.
There’s many programs out there to help first time home buyers
Most of which are either super expensive, require battling a Kafkaesque amount of bureaucracy or are simply means tested to the point that 5 people total are eligible to even apply for them.
Often the biggest hurdle is lack of available inventory driving up the price
And even MORE often, there are more empty buildings outside of most people’s price range than there are people looking to buy a home.
Who do you picture buying these condos once they’re on the market
Profiteering real estate conglomerates, mostly.
I encourage you to step out of the Internet bubble of hopelessness and research what it takes to achieve homeownership. Almost anyone can get a mortgage with fair rates and zero money in their pocket. There’s much more oversight than you’d expect to ensure that poor people aren’t taken advantage of in the ways you described. There’s even great programs to reduce interest rates and eliminate down-payments for low-credit low-earners if they take a free class that teaches them about homeownership. You might benefit from that.
I think the biggest problem is a lack of education on the subject. People see that they don’t qualify for the types of loans their parents got and thus think that homeownership is impossible for them. Thus they throw money away on ever-increasing rent instead of locking into the same monthly payment with a mortgage.

Grade A bullshit. If that was true, most people would have done it already.
