Do you happen to know anyone who's struggling to buy a home uh in this market?

>> Yes. Well, I mean, I think everyone's with the with the interest rates current interest rates and the current cost of housing uh increasing, right? Uh obviously, it's more it's difficult for younger folks to be able to afford um houses.

>> Well, I think so. I mean, you see prices rising a lot. So, on a on average, yeah, people are having problems.

>> So, if your my son came out of school and wants to, you know, has a nice career working in Wall Street, you know, making a five-figure job big salary, and then all of a sudden, you say, "Oh, I meet a nice girl. I want to get a home."

Now, we have two of those salaries together to buy the house now at 600 as a base home, nothing fancy. That's a lot of money to have a mortgage on.

>> There's fewer starter homes out there.

Um you have a large number of uh boomers that are retiring that aren't downsizing to smaller homes. That contributes. And the interest rates. And large institutional investors buying up homes.

>> President Trump has been talking about barring large institutional investors from buying up single-family homes. Uh what do you make of that?

>> Do you think this is a step in the right direction?

>> I do, 100%. But, I'm curious how it's going to pan out because there's a lot of control from those big institutions.

At least Berkshire Hathaway, BlackRock, those two in particular, I would say, are big-time um owners of these kind of uh single-family homes that the, you know,

young people want to want to try to purchase.

>> I think it's a good thing. There's no way young people, especially just out of college, can compete with an institutional investor that comes in with a cash offer that's 10 or 20% above asking price. There's just There's no competition.

>> It's hard for a lot of neighborhoods just to be established because they're all rentals. A lot of them, a majority of of them are rentals now.

>> Cuz you put more of the land and more of the houses in control of a few people, you know, they kind of get a monopoly.

They own large sections of land and kind of do what they want to do with it.

Investments good in some aspects of it,

but buying up large pieces of land and

kind of them owning things I think is is probably not the best.
