Thanks for the explanation guys. Water access is an interesting issue to me and something I sometimes work in, so like hearing how other states do it.

In a regulatory filing last month, Blackstone said that it has secured $24.1 billion of commitments for its latest real estate fund called Blackstone Real Estate Partners X. Combined with Blackstone’s real estate funds in Asia and Europe, the company will have over $50 billion available for opportunistic investments.
A few months ago it was something like 22% of all residential purchases were made by institutional buyers. Would be interesting to know their target buying criteria (price ranges, markets, layouts, etc.).
Would all the college housing be considered resi? The corporates have certainly built and bought up a bunch of that.Quote:

Holy real estate photos Batman! I wonder if Zillow has a 200 photo limit?!?!?
$50B is 0.125% of the US housing market.Quote:

It's a major problem IMHO.
Yeah, they aren’t buying 2500 $20M homes. They are most likely buying 2,000 $2500 homes. And that affects a shitload of people who are already scraping by.Quote:

I got tenants who are really used to slum lords that don't fix any thing so they don't tell me when shit is broken and they don't seem to want me coming in their spaceQuote:

edit: tennant was going to buy her own fridge cuz she didn't report the leaky fridge of course so it was leaking, i said " no you don't have to buy a new fridge, its up to me to provide you with a fridge so i will fix the old one, or get one that doesn't leak, just google leaking freezers, i know how to fix it "
i used to think they aren't very smart but i think maybe they have just been trained by shitty LL's
In June blackstone closed buying APTS for $5.8b which does rental complexes in the SE/midAtlantic look to be the 3-5 story 200-400 unit onesQuote:

That and they honestly give zero fucks about a small leak somewhere.
exactly ^^ they have been conditioned to not report probelms
i told my tennants to smoke cigys out side and pot inside cuz pot was illegal at that time which has of course changed
The fridge was a small leak but the Bathroom was actualy a huge fucking leak, i had to pull things apart to rebuild and repalce drywall & 2x4
she aint stupid so when i told her no its my fridge I will deal with it a light went on
$50 billion isn't what it used to be.Quote:

Property manager once told us "Raise the rent every year - 100% of your people will complain but only 5% will actually give notice"
