We have only two of our renters who are behind - one whom we are working with and the other who’s butt we’ll send to the curb the minute we can. We have some other properties. We have one tenant that has been with us over twenty years. We offered to sell it to her before but she has declined. You might think it has something to do with the $585/month she is paying, which is significantly less than she’d pay to buy it, but what she told us was as a single lady she didn’t think she could manage the care.
It’s a big country and the places we own property aren’t having bidding wars or ordinary people who can’t find a place to buy, if they want one. Maybe, since you have a job that has mobility, you ought to consider moving to somewhere without skyrocketing population growth. Then you too can easily buy a dated home to fix up like we did.
I wouldn't make nearly as much money if I moved to some cowtown. Plus my fiancee is moving up in her company, which is only in Phoenix. So no, we're staying put. It's bad enough that I have to work in California just to afford the lifestyle I want in Arizona

aoc and lunatics like her think they can just keep kicking the can down the road. meanwhile they're encouraging deplorable behavior and screwing over property owners.
then they act like the "greedy" landlords are this horrific people "there will be millions of homeless people if this isn't extended"
yes because millions of deadbeats (with few exceptions) chose not to pay their rent for over a year and no sane person will rent to them in the future. so landlords should keep getting screwed over for these scumbags?
If the landlords have taken the deadbeats to the courts prior to the mandates, the eviction is still in play and the deadbeats are the first to go. However, help for the working poor is slow to nonexistent.
I'm still having issues with all these future homeless. Didn't they get unemployment, bonus money to those checks, stimulus check etc. And might even be back at work. Sounds like some of these people would struggling 5 years ago or 5 years from now. I don't think all this virus related.
Nearly every GD dire prediction about covid's affect on economy never happened
State and local governments who were supposed to face dire fiscal consequences have seen just the opposite. Places like California and New York have so much money (thanks to tax revenue alone) that they not only didn't have huge budget shortfalls for current and next fiscal years, but now have vast budget surpluses.
California has so much extra money they are actually cutting checks to residents to issue "refunds".
I will blame landlords, since their profession (if you want to call it that), is zero sum. They get richer by making their tenants poorer two fold. First, them owing multiple properties leaves less on the market, forcing more people to rent. And 2nd, with what their tenants have to pay in rent, they would have to live like a homeless person to ever get a sizeable down-payment together
providing shelter and service is zero sum that's a good one.
you realize by screwing over tons of small landlords who can't absorb these hits larger corporations are going to be buy up properties and larger coroporations won't be nearly as nice as most landlords. it's all bean counting for them.
he's 31 and has six children. He also hasn't been vaxxed and doesn't plan to, nor has his wife or any of the kids (if any of the 6 are eligible).
Some states have decided it's incumbent on the landlord to tell the tenant what is involved with eviction, and how they can avoid it. Of course "pay your rent as agreed" is not likely on there. Nor is "communicate with your landlord so they understand your situation".
6 kids at 31
a wife not working for over a year even though it's super easy to get a job now and he's mad that while he continues to screw his landlord over for over a year the landlord doesn't tell him about the moratorium?
Point is is that until (or even if) you can make a certain income, you'll be a lifelong renter by necessity rather than choice
and?
things in life cost money.
i can afford to buy a house i choose not to for now for a lot of reaosns. even if i were to buy one there are tons of houses i can't afford that other people can. there are places i can afford to rent and places i can't afford but other people can.nobody owes me anything.

That is not necessarily true --- at a certain income a person has to get creative and think a bit outside the box, but if a person wants it bad enough, it can be done.
People get behind on their taxes all the time. Tap into that vein, and one can be a property owner, for a song. There are other way's too, that just one that pops off my head at the moment.
There are countries (I wish I could remember which ones) they [citizens] would rather rent than own. Same as those countries, there are people in the u.s. who rather rent than own and they come at all income levels.

The ideal of owning is to hedge yourself against future rent increases, which have plagued Phoenix hard. The apartment I rented 7 years ago for just $700/month is now $1,100/month. The 2 bedroom I rented after that for $950/month is now $1,550/month. And home prices have equally gone insane. The median home price in my neighborhood has doubled since 2015, from $270k to $540k. If I had been earning then what I am now, you bet your a$s I would have bought
