I'll donate a year's salary to the dem party if they said they would get private equity the hell out of the housing market.

That would actually be something that could improve the lives of Americans.

Institutional investors own approximately 0.67% to 0.73% of the U.S. single-family housing stock. This percentage is based on various definitions of what constitutes an institutional investor, but generally refers to firms owning more than 1,000 homes.


Additionally, broader statistics suggest that investors as a whole (including both institutional and smaller "mom-and-pop" investors) purchased around 26% of single-family homes sold in recent years. However, the specific share owned by institutional investors remains a smaller segment of this total.

False. Black bear.

It seems like there are enough politicians now under the MAGA movement that trump wouldn't have to run as VP, but i wouldn't put it past them just switching the names for '28 to Vance/Trump

people are gonna have mixed feelings about this, but like it or not, MAGA is a political party. They ran on the republican ticket but ~50% of republicans would prefer the old guard, they just aren't dumb enough to outright challenge MAGA.

I feel like this is one of the major reasons the dems lost, they refused to treat MAGA as though it was it's own entity, as a populist movement instead of a republican movement.

but then i ask myself, they can't be that blind and deaf, unless they really did go so far into the wokeness that they buried themselves under their own ideology like shovelquest suggests

they just write the stats like that because they are still scared of the ideology behind occupy wall street, kind of crazy how fast occupy wall street turned into, "You're All Racist!, so hire on DEI only!

a bigger fire gets put out before a smaller fire

private equity owns firms like PMI and other massive real estate conglomerates that bury themselves in dozens of layers of ownership to obfuscate their actual goals of desperately trying to find ways to pay dividends every 3 months because they were dumb enough to write laws that required this to happen

real estate is a guaranteed return on investment, it just happens to screw people out of affordable housing.

let's just deregulate domestic mining and let them strip the lands for short term gains, at least then gen Z's could buy houses instead of being miserable with their parents

or is there an actual end-game in forcing people to send their money to E-girls in Estonia instead of building a nest egg

Owning shares in a bank that owns your mortgage isn't the same as them owning your house.

Indirect Exposure: BlackRock owns about 6.7% of American Homes 4 Rent, which as of December 2023, owned 59,000 single-family homes in the United States. This gives BlackRock indirect exposure to single-family housing through its investment in this company

blackrock is big for sure, but they are just one entity among hundreds domestically and thousands globally.

gotta look at it in terms of all the large complex rentals too, these play just as big or more a role in deciding home real estate prices, which are all owned by faceless conglomerates.

heck, we could solve alot of these problems just by removing foreign private equity. the idea the dudes in london or beijing can own property in the US that they don't live on is just bad for all americans

30% of the single family homes in the USA are owned by investors.

Your % filters out 99% of housing speculation by adding strict restrictions on what counts as an "institutional investor"

https://www.worldpropertyjournal.com...data-13837.php

Small investors (individuals that own 2-9 homes) make up 62% of housing speculatoin.

That leaves 40% of 30% of the housing market, owned by an "investment group" (1 or more investors)

And a tiny fraction of them being "investment institutions".

Group: a collection of individual investors who pool their resources to invest together. An investment group might be formed among friends, family, or business associates.

Institution: This refers to a more formal and established organization that manages investments as its primary business function. Examples include banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, pension funds, and mutual funds.


A group, is just a not formaly recognized corperation, there's thousands of them. And they make up for 62% of the 30% of homes that are owned by investors.

That's a YUGE portion of the single family home pool.

There are approximately 90 million single-family detached homes in the United States.

30% are owned by investors: (more than 1 home). That's 27 million homes are owned by investors.

And 16.7 million homes owned by "investment groups"....

And thats just 2-9 homes.. (Institutional investors own 10-?,???)

So yes, this is a huge reason housing costs so much.

I know this because like I said, Im a bernie progressive leftist.

Also when a 2 bedroom apartment costs more per month then a 3 bedroom house, something is seriously fucked up.
