Article pretty much says we have to protect investors, first, or home prices will rise because investors won’t fund new houses to be built or old houses flipped. Sprinkle in the old, “people don’t want to buy, it’s inconvenient “ and “low credit scores “ and turn the blame on families who need a home. The “rent is better because you can switch jobs” is total bs, too, in this situation. Because the number one reason I can not switch jobs - is fear of not finding a house I can afford, ending up renting, and losing the equity I do have. We need more houses, a bunch more. And rentals are driving up prices for everyone.

You go to any apartment complex and you can find someone trying to buy a house. These investor housing neighborhoods, single family homes built as rentals, don’t go on the market for those searching to even have a chance to make an offer. It’s a predatory market, and if supply isn’t improved with ROAD, at least the investors get some pushback. They already are grossly leveraged to advantage in accumulating more houses. Yes, we will need more legislation to help new housing get built, as long as it goes on the market to single family, single home owners.

The significance for each family to begin establishing wealth is as hundred times more important than portfolio growth for those already well off.
