We also need to bring back the concept of ‘Fixer-Uppers’, and have them be in safe neighborhoods.

We always get those cards with the we buy cash and a dude’s name on it. Last time we got one it showed a map with all the properties around us that they have purchased. 🫤 These investors with cash ruin it for struggling families.

The problem is that 90% of home buyers do not want to add a little sweat equity.
Even first time home buyers.
It has changed a lot since when you and I bought are first home.

The problem with a lot of younger people they have no concept how to even start. They have never done any type of physical labor. Much less construction.

Even though today you can literally learn how to fix ANYTHING by watching a YouTube video. So, houses that are a little “dated” are only bought typically by contractors. Who then flip them.
