    I really hate that it takes 8x the effort to debunk a lie than to start one

  • @K1ngHoward

    I think Blackrock and Blackstone get the flack because their names just line up so well with a corporate dystopian naming theme.

    I'm not surprised individuals are a huge problem, every idiot with money in the 2010s suddenly thought they were a pro real estate mogul. Buy a home, refresh it with the cheapest paint and furniture possible, then try to sell it for a huge markup or rent it for obscene amounts. Unfortunately the pandemic helped them actually make a profit...

    The shady music suddenly popping up cracked me up every time.

    I wonder how much Air BnB has encouraged landlord ownership of single family homes. The last time I stayed in a short-term rental, it seemed pretty clear that the owners were not a family out of town for a while, but a real estate management company that was probably renting it our year-round.

    I want to thank you for your, clear level headed approach to explaining investments and helping bringing insight to how scamers,movies,tiktokker,news articles,politicians etc are not the go to source for understanding. I like also thank you for taking the time and helping everyday people get basic understanding of this information you are blessing my guy.

    Richard, you're such a breath of fresh air. I've been following you since you were small-ish, we even interacted here and there and it's great to see that you're still going at it with the same vigor. In the age of misinformation and skewed perspectives, it's good to hear educated opinions and facts. Thank you!

    Blackstone used to own 3000 apartments in Amsterdam, they recently sold most of it due to regulations cutting profits. We have the exact same situation over here in the Netherlands.

    Have you ever looked at your local zoning codes. It would be illegal to build a modern 1950s home because it doesn't meet minimum lot requirements. R1 zoning, parking requirements, etc. have been making it so we can only build the most inefficient types of housing. New grads in Kanata (Ottawa) literally have to rent houses if they don't want to commute in from downtown.

    Small, multiple home buyers can’t be overlooked. I can only speak to my area, but people whose net worth is between 500k-5mil often own multiple properties. They are on their 4th house and rent out all of them. It’s a good portion of the population where I live. They don’t just own locally either.

    I'd love to see the stats on flippers. In my area, most homes that could be affordable, or are "affordable" because of their condition are quickly purchased and flipped. They go back on the market 3-6 months later for $40-70k more than they were listed at with new counter tops, fresh carpet, and a bad coat of paint over 1970's wallpaper. It was extremely hard to find our home competing with that.

    Blame Grant Cardone, Meet Kevin, and Graham Stephen for pushing rental property investments onto normal people. That and Airbnb incentivizing the same.

    Someone call the police Larry Fink is in my home

  • @willardSpirit

    The problem is people think a home as only as an investment and a get rich quick scheme. A house is also a place to live and its value should be just match inflation. But also our restrictive housing zoning codes can't help build more homes. And NIMBY's saying no to more building mix-use and denser neighborhoods

  • @privacylock855

    Remember the "Get Rich in Real Estate" infomercials from the 1980's? Buy 6 rentals and retire early. it is not new.

  • @tomrulz444

    God bless this Canadian

  • @ChopperChops

    The most important stat is how many residential houses that have come to market have been bought by investors (of any type). 25% is a massive amount of homes taken away from owner/buyers

  • @Nighthawk20000

    I think its important to remember that homes

    I’m opening up an investment firm, calling it BlackBoulder, and jumping in on the action!
