Comment on Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years

Yes, and my rent covers literally all of them. Again, it has to, or else my landlord would be renting this house at a loss. I don’t want the opportunity to pack up and move on short notice. I’ve lived in this city since I was born, and I intend to die here. I should not be forced to pay a premium for a feature I will never use.

So, nothing’s keeping you from buying a house then, since what you already pay in rent covers all of the cost. Right?
Why haven’t you bought a house already, then? Could it be that it doesn’t just cost what you pay in rent each month?

Do you reckon I could get a mortgage with my <$30,000/year income and my zero credit history? If you do, I might actually look into it
Do u reckon every landlord is renting out their houses for a loss??? You get that that’s what you’re implying, right? Like, obviously a big expense
