  I’m convinced mist of these people are flat out lying to sell seminars because if he was really that good he’d just keep doing it and making his millions there.

    It is. It’s how that rich dad guy got rich, not by doing what he teach, but by selling his recipe. Someone should sell the recipe of success by teaching others how to sell the recipe of success.

  Oh, this guy’s probably lying but this happened to me growing up. By law they couldn’t just evict us when the land developer wanted to turn the apartment complex into condos, but they didn’t want to buy us out either. Here’s what they did:

  (1) Raised rent as much as they legally could as often as they could, and (2) Run renovation construction on the building as early as they could for as long as they could, which at it turns out, was several years of high school, and a year of college. Jackhammers, man.

  Luckily, their plan backfired in large part because my dad was a functioning alcoholic in IT who was somehow able to pay for extra rent increases yet also didn’t have his shit together enough to look for a new place to live. Going back a decade and some change later, the entire block is generated with new asshole-modern condos except that one shit hole apartment building we lived in, haha.

    “Provide value to the world”

    What value is this scumbag providing? He’s fucking over renters by removing rental properties from the market. And he’s not even providing with to buyers because he’s doing jack-shit to improve the properties when he puts them on the market.

    All he’s doing is lining his own pockets at the cost of other less fortunate people. Fucking sanctimonious hypocrite.

      No doubt because some real protection to prevent this kind of bullshit was removed by bleed america red party. It is a poverty state and a red state for the exact same reason. That is pure causation not correlation. This man should be treated like a slave owner in 2024. The ethics are exactly the same exploitation and shystering.

      Meanwhile Norman Borlaug, most people never heard of. He is credited for saving over one billion people’s lives. Wasn’t rich and certainly didn’t drive fancy cars. He was just a clever agronomist who worked his ass off for this world. I mean if system works that way where you provide value and get moneys. Right?

  Real life monopoly would be buying empty lots and developing your own houses, only to later bulldoze the houses for luxury hotels.

  • Euphorazine@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well the best strategy is to only buy four houses and never convert to hotels, preventing your opponents from buying houses, since there is a finite supply.

      Federal tax the primary residence property at 0% of council rates, fed tax the 2nd at 200% council rates, the 3rd at 300%, etc.

      Council rates are managed by local government authority and are driven by property value.

      Order the properties by primary residence first, then lowest value to highest.

      When folks start paying an extra 7-8k a year for their 4th property, 10k for their 5th, it might stop being worth it.

      In Holland we have wooncorporaties, which are non-profit companies that own apartments and rent them out. They are cheap, and usually there is a maximum income for tenants. There is a waiting list, and a lot of people add their names as soon as they turn 18.

      The Dutch housing market is fucked, but these are good, and would not be possible if you restricted them to a single apartment.

  Are they just changing the name from apartments to condos? And charging more? Why wouldn’t that already be priced in to the current price?

  source

  • TheKMAP@lemmynsfw.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Apparently a condo is an apartment you own. So they’re buying an apartment complex wholesale and then selling (not renting) individual units.

    It’s going from rental units to individually owned units. Meaning that people that are renting will be able to buy and build equity, and their mortgage will probably be cheaper than their rent.

      If they can afford to/get approved for a loan to be able to afford it. They can’t. That’s why they rent rather than buy.

      The system and vultures like this guy make it much cheaper to already be rich than to be poor and you’re acting like he’s doing people a favor by pricing them out of their homes.

  This is what you would want though. Let people buy their homes. You don’t want giant corporations owning massive apartment blocks and forcing everyone to pay them monthly.

  • Badeendje@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But why should the gains from this go to a private organization. Either the current owner does this and realizes the gains. Or the city does this and the city treasury should be entitled to the profit. It is absolute horsesgit that we find this kind of leeching acceptable.

    source

    • jaybone@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I assume currently the gains go to a private organization anyway.

      I’d rather see it sold off to individual owners.

      (That’s assuming this whole thing isn’t bullshit, which it is.)

    The current occupants should at least get first pass at buying the apartment they live in. They also should not be removed just so a middle man could make money. If they get bought out then sure.
