    I guess home ownership will soon be only an American pipe dream.

    The taxes and insurance on these inflated prices will be their undoing.

    they were already rent houses...

    They will ask 400-500K for them when they are actually worth 180-250...plus interest rates will most likely land around 7-10% for most...good luck selling them.

    Hard for me to wrap my head around 450 to 500,000 rental home. Owner or renter.

    $45M / 87 units = $517K per unit. Add in property taxes, insurance, common area and clubhouse maintenance, etc... What will the rent be? $4K per month. Anyone that can afford $4K per month rent, should buy.

    Goldman Sachs will not lose. They either profit from the deal, or write off the losses against other gains to pay less taxes. In reality they will probably profit off the realestate and then use some ridiculous realestate tax laws to avoid paying taxes. It will be a win win for them.

    Interesting.

    I find most are "Either / Or".

    Meaning they are the type that either like Arizona, or Florida.

    Rarely see someone live both places.

    They are just trying to catch up with Blackstone. It is a pretty good deal for the developer. They can do one cash closing with one buyer on a whole section of a neighborhood and be done with it. Florida is the new New York City. Everyone will be living in apartments just like they do there...unless the bottom falls out.

    thats the plan

    The median price of an American house has increased by 28 percent over the last two years, as pandemic-driven demand and long-term demographic changes send buyers into crazed bidding wars.

    Might the fact that corporate investors snapped up 15 percent of U.S. homes for sale in the first quarter of this year have something to do with it? The Wall Street Journal reported in April that an investment firm won a bidding war to purchase an entire neighborhood worth of single-family homes in Conroe, Texas—part of a cycle of stories drumming up panic over Wall Street’s increasing stake in residential real estate.

    Where are all the pro-capitalist, corporation loving people we have on here now? Just another nail in the coffin of the American dream.
