    A New Streaming Series on the Golden State's Housing Crisis.
    The Bay Area’s and California’s housing crisis is crazy. Shacks are selling for millions. Investors are paying all cash for homes that could go to family buyers. And generations of communities are getting priced out. Through a series of steaming reports, NBC Bay Area’s Investigative Unit reveals its year-long investigation into The Golden State’s overpriced housing market that is leaving so many Californians overwhelmed and over it.
    Episode 1 'Cash Is King': Investors & Our Housing Crisis.
    Are real estate investors to blame for the housing crisis? While many investors say they add value to neighborhoods, neighbors, and tenants impacted by the developments say they expedite gentrification. The Investigative Unit uncovers a growing members-only club consisting of investors with exclusive access to below-market housing listings the average homebuyer can’t easily see.

    I own a few properties in Iowa and one in Pensacola FL. Never raised rent on a tenant or charged for application fees or late fees. Always gave the full deposit back. I try to not stress people financially especially if they are college students or have kids. In return the leave my property in better shape than I gave it to them. I could have made a few thousands more squeezing every penny out of them, but the sense of reward I get by treating them like humans is priceless to me.

I am not saying Wall Street is the hero but when money is cheap it creates all kind of speculations. My previous landlord Jack up my rent 7% every 6 months and recent sold the property to a family owned property investment company for $4mil plus. It is a 8 units all one bedrooms my rent is now $2420/month after the renovation is done I m not sure how much it will go up. The property is in San Carlos.

    It costs about 100K to construct a small house. For 1 Trillion, at least 10 million homes can be constructed to house over 40 million people. This will solve the homelessness problem, save all the section 8 money, make owning more affordable, and stimulate the economy: if you don't have to pay rent you will have extra money to spend on other things.
    The government can sell those homes to people interest free over a 10 year period (at about $900/month). However, this probably won't happen.

      The infrastructure is there as well being water and utilities so it isn't out in the middle of nowhere. Talk about $100K for a nice house. Actually they got the houses for about $40K and either built a brand new one or fixed the one up. Either way total cost $100K. Let's say that it was $120K to $150K

    I am going to take a LOT of flack for saying the following.
    I know someone who is a great teacher with 3 kids. I tell him that he needs to MOVE to a part of the country that will give him the opportunity to buy a house. This teacher doesn't need to look for work and has multiple offers outside of the SF Bay Area.
    Now, If he can come up with a rational such that his particular job offers him better career opportunities over the long run then that is one thing but the teacher is NOT in tech with other parts of the country having better long range career prospects. (That is his assessment and not mine.)
    I told him that he was a complete IDIOT to hang around in the Bay Area. Now using the word IDIOT sounds harsh and it is but when a teacher only makes $60K in the SF Bay Area and he has offers greater than that in the Midwest for $70K a year. It is called MOVING.

      It's really funny to watch you try and logic through this person's decision to live in the place that they want to live. LMAO. Do they ask you why you want to live in a boring ass suburb in the middle of nowhere for the sake of owning a giant house you don't need? No....they don't. They respect your decision to live where you like living and where you feel the most comfortable.
      I can relate to your school teacher friend and hope I don't have to spend the rest of my life in a boring ass suburb.
      I'm the kind person that doesn't care if I have a gigantic living space. I really only ever use two rooms; the kitchen and the bedroom. I guess having a living room is nice, but I don't really spend a lot of time lounging and sitting on my ass. I like to be out and about and moving around constantly. Unfortunately, the suburbs is the opposite. It's extremely difficult to find any time to move around at all during the day. You have to drive yourself to the gym....for christ's sake...
      I am happy to live in a shoebox providing that I am in an interesting area, which happens to be Boston. That's because I am an extroverted person. I need to have the freedom to walk around to many different restaurants, stores, neighborhoods, etc...I don't care how much it costs or how much I have to sacrifice to achieve this. It's worth it to me in the long run because my personal well being and happiness are being taken care of. If my partner doesn't like it, then they can go find someone more compatible. If my kids don't like living in the city in an apartment/condo, then they can move to the suburbs when they grow up. That's totally fine, I will not judge others for doing what they want to do. In fact, I want them to be happy.
      I also need access to public transit as I have a seizure disorder and cannot drive. I will be honest with you though, if I could still drive, I wouldn't do it. It's the most miserable, soul sucking experience ever from what I recall. Siting in gridlock traffic, driving through strip mall parking lots (even just walking through them)=soul sucking misery. No thank you.
      You can take your drive in fast food restaurants, your strip malls, your boring ass suburban neighborhoods with constant lawn mowing sounds and dogs barking/shitting everywhere and do what you like with them.
      Because that's what freedom of choice is.

    I think it is absolutely outrageous that the owners of these properties that they rightfully purchased have to PAY tenants to leave. How is that law even constitutional? Sorry when you're a residential tenant, you get usually a 1 year fixed term lease. THAT is the contract. 1 year period. These tenants are delusiousal to think they automatically get a lifetime lease on a property they are renting. If these tenants want more security and long term housing, they need to buy their own property. Renting is meant to be a temporary thing in your 20s until you save up enough to buy.

    House flippers only make money if they sell the house in way better condition then they found it in for someone else to live. This isnt a bad thing.
    You send a army of fix and flippers into the slums and after some time that neighborhood will make a list of americas best neighborhoods to live in.

    It’s unique to California and had always been strange to me that these ppl rented for 30 years (AND IT WAS SUBSIDIZED) and think they have a right to the area and unit, really weird, no one gave them the memo that they needed to grow up and think for the future.

    Rent control is the source of all problems. Unlike residents owners who enjoy the protection of proposition 13, commercial owners, i.e. investors do not. So as property value goes up, taxes go up, other effected costs go up, but landlord cannot raise revenue. That's why an owner of s small apartment building would gladly get rid of it, cause he/she loses money and consequently cannot make any improvement. Cash investors cease on the opportunity and get the property at a discount. If you can no longer afford where you live, move to where you can. No one ever promised you, that you'll forever have the right to live in a prime area for rent equivalent to the 1980s!!

    To be honest, if someone purchases a property; it's their property. That doesn't mean the tenant has a right to live there beyond their lease. If you don't want to pay high rent move out of California OR find an alternative solution: purchase a home, get a van...but you are not entitled to live there forever. I used to have a home here and I sold it. I rent but I refuse to pay how high it is, and I refuse to pay high rent EVER again in this damn State. So, I'm purchasing a van and converting it. So, if you don't like something, find something else.

    Of course fixer uppers need CASH. Why? They need to be fixed up which takes CASH. If you need a mortgage then you probably don't have extra cash to fix up the house.

    They buy the house at a discount because its usually a huge junk heap that a "normal" person can't buy with regular financing bc of the condition, it would be deemed unfinanceable. This investigative piece is really lame bc it's not the fault of people buying a junker from someone that "chooses" to sell it to them. What are you proposing that an owner can't sell and a buyer can't buy? So ridiculous.
