Fuck’em. Rent-seeking leeches.
…I think you’re confusing realtors with landlords. Realtors help you buy and sell homes, they don’t buy homes then rent them out. At least not as a part of being a realtor
I work in tech around property preservation. The SFR (single family rental) has boomed to the point where it has evolved into a new market, BTR (built to rent). Real estate companies are buying tons of viable land for real estate and building homes they will never sell. They’ve realized they make more money, that scales with inflation, by never selling homes. So while I get your distinction, the problem is very real, there is nothing for them to sell or for people to buy.
I and many others don’t really agree with the compensation realtors are receiving. And the national organization is trying their best to make it a racket.
Well, I mean at this rate I’ll be able to afford a house by using my retirement money. As long as I keep a part time job until I die.
Maybe they should tell their clients to drop price so the monthly payment is in line with what it would have been when rates were low? No, surely they just aren’t hustling hard enough.
Boohooohooo. Let’s start a Gofundme for the poor souls.
