When foreigners over pay and buy up real estate, we call it foreign investment.

when immigrants come here dead broke and work minimum wage jobs to feed their family, they are called thugs and illegals bringing down the economy.


I thought the argument was "illegal" immigrants... Anyone keeping the laws and operating within them is within their right to do anything they want ..

I'm not my parents and more and more each day i see that what was the wave in the 80s and 90s isnt the same it is today. Owning a home used to be an investment/status but now more people are leaving the burbs and moving closer to work and or moving away because they can work from home. Question i got for most people buying a home is do you see yourself working where you are for the next 20 years.

You make a great point, but at the same time some who purchased a home in last 10 years could sell it right now and walk away with a lot more money, the renter cannot. There’s pros and cons in both scenarios and neither is wrong.

What you don’t realize is if we have an influx of houses on the market you are still going to have cash offers no matter what. Once that happens investors will be able to buy multiple properties in cash because they are so cheap and cash is king. It’s a lose lose situation for some of us.

They would just buy more. If they are bidding over $300K on a house, clearly they have no regard for what's going on in the market. And because the market is usually stable, they will hold.

What is needed is the government to stop selling the people out.

I wanted to do a new build anyway but I spent about 9 months looking at existing homes and gave up, I’m too frugal to ever over pay for a property that’s hella old and not in good condition. At this point you can get a new build for what people are paying for old ass houses.

I’m relocating out of state this summer and this is my plan too. BUT, lumber and material prices have completely skyrocketed. Newly built home prices are up too, primarily thanks to COVID.
:martin:

Luckily, it’s a “sellers market”, and I’m projected to make a 40% profit (at least) when I sell in a few weeks. What sucks is that again, it’s a “sellers market”, and our newly built home (or whatever home we decide) will eat up most of the profits that we’ll gain.

Remember when people thought this was only a NY and Cali thing? I do.

It's mainly in those areas with a few other cities following behind. A majority of the country is still cheap. The South and Midwest you'll find plenty of cheap homes. The question is will there be jobs and if corporations do build, will gentrification eventually come along
