Yes, It’s Time to Start Fearing A Rental House Cartel
In an era of cancel culture, with monopoly corporations enforcing speech and lifestyle codes, what will happen if the ownership of America’s housing stock becomes concentrated in the hands of a cartel similar to that operated by our tech overlords? Should we fear that “Monster Landlord” would feel empowered to dictate what speech, beliefs, and activities are allowable, much like Monster Tech has already done?
There was much buzz recently following a Wall Street Journal story about investors and private equity groups buying up a large percentage of single family homes hitting the market – homes which will then be leased as rental houses. The main concern seems to be what effect this will have on those who currently rent but desire to become homeowners. Rising prices and a dwindling supply of houses for sale could keep them renters for a long time. That is a very real concern, and it is being covered in media across the political spectrum. Slate notes that Invitation Homes, a $21 billion publicly traded company that was spun off from Blackstone, operates in 16 cities and owns 12,556 houses in Atlanta alone, and that more than 20% of all homes sold in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Phoenix are sold to investors.Invitation Homes can borrow money for far less: It’s getting billion-dollar loans at interest rates around 1.4 percent. In practice, this means that Invitation Homes can afford to tack on an extra $5,000 to $20,000 to the purchase price of every home...BlackRock (a different entity than Blackstone) is now a major investor in Invitation Homes. BlackRock does not care for the relationship you deplorables have with guns.

What about our conservative free market principles? I don't care about any "free market principles" when it comes to the consequences of housing being controlled by a cartel of evil billionaires. ...
++++
No conflict. A cartel, which is a union of producers that conspires in restraint of trade (as opposed to an oligopoly that does not mutually conspire) is flatly illegal and violates antitrust law.
Not that this matters, of course. Big Tech is a prime example. The individuals hold specific monopolies *and* join together as a general cartel, and they individually and collectively engage in anti-competitive behavior, yet there are no consequences.
And to break these guys up right now is probably strictly premature as there is not yet an apparent conspiracy to restrain trade. That said, it is increasingly clear that any organization bigger than about 500 people is a part of the communist oppression network, so fuck 'em.

I think Texas has substantial "homestead exemption" on property taxes. In one way this makes it more expensive for corporations to own a particular property. On the other hand, that extra tax money is pretty seductive to local governments that see themselves as partners in neo-feudalism.

That's more or less being done on an ad hoc basis anyway. Most landlords subscribe to a certain list of required behaviors that are enshrined in a lease contract.
They also will get your employment history and credit report and get as much information they can so that they can deny you the property or adjust the contract.
We've never been a free nation. Well maybe way back during frontier times but only at the fringes.
I'd say since at least the beginning of the 20th century we've mostly been slaves to some group or other that we must obey or lose privileges or money or access.
They're just more intrusive and obvious about it.

This shit is why.
I'm 38, well established in my career and making what most would consider good money. It doesn't go very far, at all. The ability to buy a single-family home is getting harder and harder and "relief" comes in the form of stimulus checks.
Is this capitalism's fault? Nope, but it is the catch-all term that will get blamed. And we're all going to suffer for it.

There is likely going to be continued crowding out of normal people. We saw this in Denver before the corporate stuff started just because of California. People fleeing Silicon Valley could walk away with enough equity to make a cash offer on a place in CO with money to spare back at the beginning. Prices move on the margins, and if you don't care because you're playing with house money (if you'll pardon the pun), then it drives prices very quickly.
In the case of rich colonists, everything is so much cheaper that overpaying doesn't matter. In the case of the big corporates, they get access to the Fed discount window (or very close to it) and have first access to new funny money. I strongly they suspect that they know they're overpaying and don't care because it's all Fed Fast Cash anyway and they're working on a market corner that, if they get it, will justify any price.

This is already happening as more and more "woke" provisions get stuffed into residential leases. For example, it's now common for residential leases in NYC to ban smoking -- yes, that's right, many leases forbid smoking in your own fucking apartment. I own my apartment, but co-op and condo boards are also getting into the game. My board instituted a no-smoking policy a few years ago -- including on your own private outdoor space! (I don't smoke cigarettes or indoors, but I do like a nice cigar and scotch on the roof deck.) I said FUCK YOU and they eventually carved out an exception for me.

I am just so depressed today.
We are losing every day what makes this country great. We have lifted more people up from poverty and kept the world safe from tyrants. We are a force for good. And yet, we are hated from within by people who should be grateful every day for being born here. I am looking at you, Oprah, Lebron and Barry.
And I just had a call from a client in family treatment court. Her baby daddy was shot 7 times. Drugs and territory are the likely culprits.
I am so glad she got herself and their son out of the apartment complex.
Now owning a home is probably out of her reach, as well as hard working middle class Americans.

It's one thing to ban smoking in an apartment, since landlords have to consider the costs of getting the smoke smell out of the unit when you leave. But I've seen job advertisements which state no tobacco whatsoever, and that you'll be tested for tobacco use.

I did not know that these guys are able to buy real estate at lending rates no one else can get. That's crazy too.

Here's a story you youngins should hear. In the early 1980s, lots of Silicon Valley millionaires moved to Colorado and built mansions. Ten years goes by and some want to sell and move to somewhere else. So they put this custom home on the market. Thing is, why would I buy someone else's dream home when for the same cost, I could build my own?

LOL. Before they leave, they will strip the house of everything. Appliances, Lighting, even electrical outlets and switches.
Maybe not strip them out, but what you will see is a whole lot less traffic to Home Improvement centers as renters usually don't renovate, modernize or otherwise do normal things people do to improve their homes and their lawns.
There is also a lot of liability wrapped up in having a swimming pool or playground equipment on rental property.
Generally speaking, maintaining the property will be expensive, rarely performed and if anything is done, will be executed by people who don't have to live with their "repairs".

Invitation Homes bought up half the street of a new Lennar housing development that I live on...the residents who own their homes (myself included) were pissed to see the renters moving in, and as expected, some aren't taking care of their homes.
The house next to me is one such house, but the renters seem to be a normal family and taking care of things. Invitation Homes' contractors, prior to the house being rented, were jumping off the roof, dancing, playing loud music, tearing up the sod, etc. I reported this to Invitation Homes, and called the police when one of them started peering in my windows, had them come out for a visit.
So far the family seems normal, as stated previously, but I told Invitation Homes if anyone from their company or the house so much as sets foot on my property, the Fort Worth police will be the next call I make to have them arrested for trespassing. I also let them know they're not really welcome here in the least by anyone on this street (not that it matters but my other neighbors - all CA transplants) - did not welcome their idiot contractor behavior either.

Why do they have access to such cheap credit? Obviously they don't need it if they are engaged in predatory activity. If they are borrowing from the Feds then WE need more interest.
Stop the credit and make them sell off all the assests they bought with predatory practices.
If only we had someone (I don't know an elected government official) who's job it was to protect the good of the country.

I believe Zillow and several other real estate sites/companies are now doing the Carvana deal. They are offering to buy your house sight unseen. And this is why. They will bundle areas and sell them to these big REIT who can rent them. I have a surprising number of renters in my rural area that are paying $$$ for a home in a rural area . They all seem to be decent folks who keep up the property, but they don't own it. I also have several acreages nearby that are owned by out of state people who bought it as"investment'. Even though it was higher priced than anyone next door or within the neighboring properties was willing to pay for it.

I've no doubt billionaires would prefer to make everyone else renters, but the real enabler/driver of this is Fed cheap money policies. If you can borrow or have access to billions of dollars for near-on zero interest, the next question is what to do with it. Ordinary diversification preferences leads to real estate investing. Investing in commercial real estate has a pretty long history of occasionally leading to bankruptcy. Farmland was/is hot, but some might have already missed that move. So, "Hey, what if we just bought that sub-division we passed on the way to that bean field Bill Gates outbid us on?"

We sold out in 2020 for $40K more than we paid, then moved to South Carolina where we bought a gorgeous home for $40K less. Our MA house sold in a weekend with eight offers and we beat eight offers down here. I felt bad for the young couples who lost out on our previous place because in MA, that was likely their only shot at owning.

One of the great things about this country is that we have the opportunity to own property, rather than live like serfs dependent upon elites' noblesse oblige. Kelo was the first decision that I'm aware of that said that the needs of the state are superior to the property rights of the individual owner.
Once we take the right - or the ability and availability - of the individual to own a property to do with as they wish within constitutional limits, we've gone far down the road to fascism and socialism.
The Great Reset is continuing apace.

No, that is the side-benefit of this neo-feudalism, the corporate ownership of property will allow people who could not afford homes to be able to live in properties that previously would be out of their reach.
That said, the "woke" policies will have government crap on their own corporate donors because they will, in short time, pass regulations requiring criminals, low-lifes, drug abusers, the very people that CRT, BLM and UBI celebrates and promotes to move in to neighborhoods.
We have seen this before. Check out any previous thriving neighborhood where HUD decided needs to filled with section eight.

Is this a hedge against inflation?
If they are buying homes at inflated prices (as I heard--not sure if that's accurate--that they are outbidding everyone) then the are not going to get a return on the value of the real estate for awhile, presumably.
Do they think that rental values are going to go through the roof such that they will make a decent return on rent itself?
Do they think that urban decay is coming rapidly and permanently such that suburban flight and therefore home rental is a better move as an investor?

Or transfer the inventory. If you don't care about passing on the house to your kids - or you don't want to, or you can't - then it will be hard to resist the "I'll buy your older, out-of-date house in a nice, easy transaction."
It would also not surprise me even a little bit if the properties acquired by banks after reverse mortgages don't get bought out are getting bundled and shipped off to these guys.

81 Why do they have access to such cheap credit? Obviously they don't need it if they are engaged in predatory activity. If they are borrowing from the Feds then WE need more interest.
I doubt very much they got 30 Year Fixed at 1.4%. that debt will have to be rolled over at some point. looks like an inflation play to me. Fannie and Freddie acknowledged it as a problem earlier this year and raised rates on investment properties, but those are small investors, not big ones.

My theory is a) a hedge against inflation, b) a steady cash flow to protect themselves against losses elsewhere, and c) once they own enough housing in one area, they have leverage against the local and state governments. No government wants to see widespread evictions, and it's easier to just pay those mortgages if it's one landlord. Additionally, the threat of selling off the properties at the same time, and thus driving down values, is that you'll hurt property tax revenues.

I think a lot of people who want to move do not want to go through the hassle of hiring a real estate agent and having the house ready for showings, etc. Zillow is going to offer you less than their current estimate of your home worth, or is going to hire an appraiser and pay you 90% of the appraisal, you are going to think twice about all the crap that goes with selling a house conventionally.
I have friends who have bought $45,000 cars from Carvana and swear they will never buy from a dealer again. The convenience and ease of financing etc, all online and in your bathrobe is too attractive for a lot of people who aren't picky about features, etc. in their car. Having the car show up in their driveway , with 30 days to return it if they don't like it is a huge attraction. Spend some time on Carvana's website and you'll find yourself being seduced by it, LOL.

Posted by: Mitch probably at June 25, 2021 01:31 PM (ckDoc)
Perhaps the property tax laws could be written such that the tax rate on single-family homes would be a function of the number of such homes owned by the owning entity. Say, you own one home, you pay the going tax rate times a multiplier of 1.0; you own 2 homes, 1.2 (on each), 3 homes, 1.3 and so on. No upper limit.
In Canada, the Province of B.C. has a higher property tax rate for out-of-province owners. Hits resort properties hard.

It's simple how these companies can overbid for the properties, they are getting balloon loans and not mortgages.
They only pay the interest on that loan for 10 years, go out refinance it, then pocket the money from the rise in value, and then do it again for 10 years.
Joe and Jane homeowner have to pay down the mortgage and any increase in the purchase price is much higher to them than the company using a balloon loan.

Perhaps the property tax laws could be written such that the tax rate on single-family homes would be a function of the number of such homes owned by the owning entity. Say, you own one home, you pay the going tax rate times a multiplier of 1.0; you own 2 homes, 1.2 (on each), 3 homes, 1.3 and so on. No upper limit.
In Canada, the Province of B.C. has a higher property tax rate for out-of-province owners. Hits resort properties hard.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 25, 2021 01:54 PM (PiM0F)
I'd say require anyone who owns ten or more residential rentals to maintain two years worth of property taxes for each property.

Just wait 'til the feds decide that real estate appreciation is a taxable gain and your $100k of increased property value over the last five years means you now owe 10% of it as a "long-term, illiquid capital gain" or somesuch.

Another thing that has been driving housing prices in some markets is Chinese nationals buying them up as a hedge against the CCP coming after them - especially if their kid is going to an American college.
At least as of right now it is hard for the CCP to claw back investments in America no matter what they accuse the person of back in China...

Quick medical question: What's the best way to open a slightly infected wound so it can drain?
Posted by: creeper at June 25, 2021 01:50 PM (XxJt1)
Squeeze it from one end and let the pus flow out. Preferably is the wound is not that large, reopen it and clean it out and apply and anti infective and keep a closer eye on it and drain it more often.
If it's too big then santize a needle and pierce one side of it and cleanse the wound, cover and drain as needed. If you get very painful spikes in the area with red lines extending from the wound, see a doctor, stat! Go to the ER.

The states could put the brakes on this practice by passing some laws against more than a certain percentage of single family homes from being sold to business interests. Much like California requires urban landlords to allocate a certain number of apartments to section 8 housing. I sure wish South Carolina would put a stop to it. North Carolina couldn't care less.

In my area, Redfin (which is more conservative than Zillow), estimates that my house is worth 14.5% more than I paid for it.
I bought it in December.
That's bonkers and, if true, wildly unsustainable.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 25, 2021 01:45 PM (Jsjd7)
One thing to remember is Zillow and Redfin are far from perfecting their algorithms. Unless you live in a development where the homes are based on 5 floor plans all with the same sized lots, they simply cannot do comparative costs. The human element needs to come into play. Zillow has no idea about your pool, the new granite counters, the energy efficient windows etc. And of course, a shitload of homes are far too unique, so it's all guesswork. You can get a general idea, but don't rely on it for buying/selling.
This is one of the few times I'd be behind a huge organization such as realtors. I've been out of the loop as far as their lobbying post-divorce, but I'll be back in the mix soon. I know this ain't happening in my area in Silicon Valley, but that could also be a matter of not shitting where you sleep.

The Fed's have completely outsourced legislation to woke corporate
Amerikka. Outfits like Blackstone, Invitation Homes, Facebook, Twitter,
Target, Starbucks, etc. are establishing their own policies on what you can and cannot do.
In all fairness - I received more than one smartening-up from certain posters here about how Business XYZ could require me to do the Tango down the aisles if I cared to peruse their business - so shut the fuck up and wear the mask or don't go in if that's their policy.
One in particular is still pretty prolific.

I've been making this point for a week, but the president isn't just a figurehead for his administration. He's the single most powerful political figure on the planet.
And it's Joe Biden that gets hidden away for weeks at a time, can barely complete sentences, now whispers creepily to reporters in public and on camera, sniffs little girls' hair, cannot build a coalition to save his life, and is generally stupid. Oh, and he's declining mentally.
Outside of executive orders, this is a disaster for Democrats. Oh, and Kamala's probably dumber than Biden and even less able politically.

Redneck Riviera, so both retirement and vacation destination. Beachfront home sold for $1.8 million around February. Back on market for $3.25. Everyone has cash, multiple offers. It's insane. One house over $1 million (not on water) back on market w 40% mark-up, two weeks after first sale. This is not normal; especially all the cash offers.

Remember when CD announced a few months ago that life expectancy in the US had fallen a whole year due to covid? I never figured out how they came up with that statistical anomaly, but is was obviously BS data manipulation/selection.
Well that is no longer the case. Now they are claiming it has fallen by two years! This time I don't think they even manipulated the data, they just pulled a number out of a hat to extend the panic. a little more since the Delta variant fear isn't working.

Have heard rumblings of a retroactive recapture of potential tax on a home here in MA
like if your home is assessed at a million and it sells for 2 million
you owe the back taxes on a 2 million assessment

My take on the polls showing less support for capitalism is that the question is vague - does anyone support unfettered capitalism? No, of course not. But does that mean someone supports socialism? I don't think so.

i think it's lees unfettered capitalism and the crony capitalism that's being shoved down our throat as "capitalism" and the kids aren't being taught the difference. all they see is the govt picking winners and losers and the media telling them it's capitalism.

Part of the problem (a significant one, anyway) isn't so much the properties have increased in value, but because the dollar is greatly devalued, which is why you need more of them to buy almost anything lately.

Buck Throckmorton: "What about our conservative free market principles?"
No such thing as a free market. It doesn't exist. It's an illusion. There are degrees of control, but it is not and has never been free. It's time we dispense with the lie and stand against corporatism for what it has always been, but only ebbs and flows with the acceptance of contemporaneously foolish populations.
I spent most of my early years of 29 believing in the textbook definitions of markets. Textbook is not life. Alas, at least I learned that lesson and didn't need classes to get it.

Humphreybot,
Do you know how much trailers cost these days? I looked at a tear drop yesterday for 20k. I fully expect the Feds to shut down access to the public lands, and put a stop to nomad land. But being homeless in a tent on the side of the highway will be fine.
If we got rid of the bulk of the building regulations, we could build affordable houses.

Yep, I dealt with American Homes 4 Rent when I moved to Florida. Hard-nosed, corporate faceless jerks. Pet policies: None or very restrictive.
Same for Progressive (not the insurance firm).
Tough for current renters and tough if you want to relocate. Check the rentals in your area.

Considering most of the rona casualties were very old people who were way past the average lifespan, it's logical that the average lifespan went down. Cuomo alone dispatched 20,000 over-85 senior citizens to their deaths in senior centers in just one month. There is no telling how many more seniors in the gen pop died due to isolation, loss of income, depression, etc.
Of course, low infos won't do the math and will believe the propaganda without thinking for a minute corrupt politicians wiped out a large segment of the senior population in large cities.

I wonder, if big corporations are buying houses, does that mean they thing riots will be happening less?
Riots drive home values down.
On the other hand, they don't really care if the value of their property goes down, so long as the rents stay up, and rents are often higher in bad neighborhoods than good.
So maybe they will want even more riots, to keep prices down so they can buy even more houses.

"Can they impose no-gun policies on their rental homes?
Good luck enforcing..."
If the gov shares gun registration lists, yes.
Unless you want to risk getting caught with an un-registered firearm.
Currently: "Possession of an unregistered firearm is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in jail and/or a $2,500.00 fine. Second, unlawful possession of ammunition carries the same penalty. That means someone caught with a gun and bullets can get charged for both the gun and the bullets"
That's off the net for federal penalties, not sure how accurate. But I'm sure they will pass "common sense" laws with stricter penalties that will be enforced selectively against Deplorables.

There is a house near me, corner lot. Owner died a few years ago, went for a probate sale.
It was a dump, new owner(s) stripped it all down the frame, new floors, new plumbing, electrical, roof, exterior, furnishings. Now it looks great.
It has been vacant now for 3 years. Completely uninhabited.
I don't get it, unless someone was just looking for a place to park some cash.

Depends on what kind of deal you had when the company got bought. Management contract? Might get that bought out...nice. Options? Accelerated vestment and cashless transaction is yours in offing.
Almost all these factors are taking into account within the final purchase price - its part of the DD. Then the acquirer executes its acquisition transition plans, and you get a huge check and the added bonus of saying you helped your company be acquired for X millions/billions on your resume...and believe me, that sells all day every day.

They belive this horseshit because they were told it was happening in the New York Times in a story written by a 2-year J-school grad who interviewed someone in the RE industry who was crazier than John McCafee.

I have to be honest, I really dislike renters in townhome complexes. Not necessarily because of the renters but because the owners don't give a crap and let the place deteriorate and the homeowners association has to get involved. I imagine a corporate owner would be easier to deal with.

I know of a place kinda like that. Guy who owns it inherited it and bought his siblings. He has never lived in it. Pays a guy to come around once in a while and mow the lawn and whatnot (couple of times a year). Owner is out of state and keeps up the taxes and some basic maintenance and has for many, many years. I don't understand it. I do know he ain't interested in selling (some folks have approached him about it now and again). It either has huge sentimental value or there's a body in the root cellar...

But I'm ignorant re law, someone like Larry Correia would be the one to ask.

The problem with real estate as an asset that earns rent is the management costs and the local laws that work against landlords. If you had bought rental property before March of last year in Los Angeles County, you would not have collected one red cent on your rentals, nothing, nada...and you could not evict anyone for non-payment.
In NYC, if you had commercial rental property, you'd have lost your shirt as a lot of everyone got out when their lease was up.
Bottom line, you're on the hook for property taxes, upkeep, subject to health and building inspectors whims, and non-paying renters who you, you think you could remove if you wanted, but you cannot...just to get a court date on a filed UI is taking 3 years in CA...forget it Jake, its China Town everywhere. Yeah, these power equity investors are going to be crying in a couple of years, trying to sell to get their investment and cost back on some hopeful value increase on the real estate - good luck.

It made sense when they were pouring money in to the residential rental market at the lows in 2009. But now they are pouring money in at what is very likely to be near a short to medium term high. As stated earlier up thread, management, maintenance, tax - all costs that are increasing - albeit perhaps not as quickly as home values. The thing is - when values "correct", those other costs stay high and keep going. Even if assessed values drop, mill rates will rise - the govt always gets theirs. This is yet another asset bubble caused by the fed - and will eventually end in tears. In the meantime, if I did not own a home I would rent and wait for the correction. Let those private equity assholes hold on to the risk.

The "rental house" cartel is small potatoes compared to the homeowners' cartel which has existed for about a century.
The cartel is known as the urban planning industry.
No amount of antitrust regulation will be enough. The right way to make the cost of housing acceptable again is to eliminate zoning. Let anyone who owns land, especially unbuilt land, build as he pleases with no other limit but the common law of nuisances.
While we're at it, eliminate the mortgage interest deduction. All home owners are (relatively) wealthy and do not deserve a subsidy from other taxpayers.
