    It’s crazy cause Nashville was an affordable city to raise a family in. Since 2013 when I graduated high school I noticed everything continued to get high. Same apartment you can get back in the day for $600-$700 a month is now almost $2000 in a 10 year span

    Hey all, just an FYI, if you invest in an S&P 500 index fund you're a part owner of that Grande View apartment complex featured at 0:35. It's owned by MAA, which is the 314th largest holding of the S&P 500 as of the moment I'm typing.
    Of course, it's only about 0.06% of the S&P 500, so your share of Apple is about 110x bigger than your share of MAA. Still, you own your little piece of her rent increase.

      Even if they offer affordable housing, most residents will not have the credit score or income to qualify. Affordable and market rate housing is not low income housing. You still need about a $60,000 a year job or more, and a good credit score to qualify. Not to mention the one bedroom per child rules.

      @@sharonlee_333 It sounds like you are in a fortunate situation where you are not experiencing significant rate hikes. However, it is happening to many in the US, leaving some with very few options. Naturally, rent will increase over time and especially when there is inflation due to additional "true" costs, such as maintenance. I agree with you on this point and think it is reasonable to increase rents over time. However, when a management company increases rent from $12000, to $1,700 or higher in one year on a small apartment, you can be assured this is price gauging. This type of greed is becoming the American way. It is changing our society too where there is a growing divide with fewer middle class families. Not many could afford a 20%, 30%...60% jump in rent. With inflation, salaries remaining fairly flat, and increasing housing prices, many are barely able to scrape by.
