Real estate investors, both individual and institutional, bought one-third of all single-family residential properties sold in the second quarter of 2025.
personally, I’m just raiding this everything bubble for all the $ I can get my hands on, in the hopes I can get enough capital to start throwing down massive high-density high-quality affordable housing projects for sale to long-time local renters/first time home buyers exclusively.
i have a theory about crashing localized housing markets via over-supply I want to test out. my hypothesis is that the parasitic renter-speculators, who probably took out loans or otherwise leveraged themselves to throw $ into the casino we call the stock/futes market, should end up distressed when they no longer have renters/are forced to lower rents due to competition.
at which point I step in, buy their properties for cheap, then throw down more high-density, high-quality, affordable housing for local residents.
Yeah, I’m all for more legislation and regulation to try to address this issue, it just won’t be quite as simple as the comment I replied to.
Also, I think landlords should support such legislation, because the alternative I see is violence toward landlords (which I don’t [yet] advocate).
