I wanna see those techie hipsters cry all their little salty tears out!

I make it seem like it's easy to buy vs renting in the Bay? Really where did you come close to fabricating that?

O yea we need to have a 7 year IRS return for FHA to get you that 3% we already approved you for.. GFYour self..
Yep, time to renew rent, and increase it another 100 bucks and unexpected Car break down ( goes the 3%).

So yea lets just keep the prices high to keep us from saving anything. The education excuse is so old, its unbeliveable. Education only gets you so far, its the business that determins if your worth it. Lets pay you 40k a year were rent will take up over half that.. So what does that leave you? O yea and its the only company willing to hire you with zero experiance, but you got that PHD...
I'm a first generation American, born to (legal) immigrant parents. I speak English as a second language. I got a college degree, got a good job, two of them, actually, and I bought my own house. As Henry Ford once said...'Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.'

I doubt Henry ford could easily buy a house in the Bay Area in 2017 without a struggle.

Imagine that, people who own land in an area having more say over what goes on there then people thinking of living there.

Working as a contractor for last 8 years puts a target on you.. and got hit with ID theft back in 2000 so that doesnt help.


But for the couple that try to take them to court, was happy with the 1200.. so not sure why the person who they was renting from sold it.? and the new owner to just gouge them because he too lazy to move out mommy house.. and 2k+ profit.. makes the cake even worst.. Communication could been lot better.. Owner could said, im selling the house and the owner might raise your rent.. not just sell it out under them and poof here is your bill... specaily in a market area that is already over priced. One of those areas were rent is higher than person salary doesnt care how much you make..
Did you even read the article you posted? The new owner is paying $4500.00 a month for mortgage, Taxes, insurance, and maintenance. What don't you understand about this rent increase, he's taking a loss every month they lived there.
Sorry the former owners wanted to move on but that's the way it is.

So don't live there, move on to greener and cheaper pastures.

If FREEMKT had his way most places would look like the Favelas of Rio.
