ParticipantI think the UT article was disingenuous and more like a piece of real estate propaganda because it gave examples of real estate investments without evidence of the return on investment.
The House Flipper shows are all re-running prior episodes. Haven’t seen many new ones expect for Real Estate Pros, the original guy from South Carolina.
What’s interesting is the re-runs, now have flash forwards and updates. With the flippers bravely claiming to basically have “broke-even” and not many willing to do it again.

ParticipantCompanies will do that. They know that if they raise rent on 100 people $100, that only two or three will leave because of it. Since they’re big, they’ll re-rent the place in a month because they are the default choice for everybody that is “too busy” or “has to move right now”.
At least, that’s how it’s going to go until vacancy gets back to reasonable levels.

ParticipantWhere did the 715,000 number come from ?
As of 1995, the Census bureau has over 3 Million households in the US alone making over $200,000.A global poverty site, it’s obviously wrong. Actually, it referrred to persons and not households. So…
Finding wealth and more importantly, income stats is extremely difficult.

ParticipantPatient Renter, if you haven’t read it or seen it, be sure to look through HSBC research Froth Finding Mission
Per your 1% of 1% discussion point in another thread, you may like CapGemini’s “World Wealth Report” There are only 9.5 households with net worth in excess of $1 million excluding their principle residence. Ultra high net worth, $30M+, the people that can go and do whatever they want, only number 95,000. Similarly, the top 1% of people in the world make a mere $50,000. The top 0.01%, $200,000. That’s a mere 715,000 people.

ParticipantPC, I think you’re optimistic. The condos downtown almost uniformly have too high of a ongoing expense structure. The HOA fees wreck the owning versus rent scenario even before taking into account the likely suppression of rents.
