Happy Eviction Day! - Free ride no longer free

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

When I was a kid, I thought being a landlord would be like a dream come true easy job -- own land and have your tenants give you money once a month in the background while you never had to clock-in, etc. I can now say I'm a wiser man and do not envy the job of a landlord in the slightest (you all get my respect).

Now, this throws my future investment plans out the window. I like the idea of owning land and having it work for me -- maybe hire a property manager and profit share? I heard there are ETFs that trade like stocks which allow you to "invest" in land, but I haven't looked too deeply into those...

mostly done by big banks and investment groups and of course rich Chinese (their own market is garbage for investing in unless you're a party boss so they buy houses globally).

That's the real fucking problem, isn't it? Hordes of subhuman locusts buying up all the land that is the birthright of American citizens.
This is just one of the many failures of Neoliberalism. The ability for the politicians of a nation to carve off pieces of sovereign soil and sell it to people with no need for it and no concern for it. We really need massive taxes on any foreign-owned land in the US. Yes, the economists and capitalists will whine about how it's not 'economically efficient'. But fuck them. We've been following their advice for years, and it's gotten us into this hole.

@TheRedChair actually had a very good introduction primer on how to be a landlord properly. It's right there in the "lord" part which is a throwback to the old feudal economy and the concept of Noblesse Oblige. Basically it was the understanding that land and property was useless if it was not being used. So the owner of the property would allow people to use it in exchange for his own cut of the productivity.

The entire exchange at its core was based on mutual obligation that ended in everyone benefitting. The tenants had obligations to the Lord. Mainly they had to give a portion of the harvest, muster to defend the property if called, and so on. In exchange the Lord was obligated to defend the property from bandits and other depredations, creating and maintaining various tools and equipment. Usually in the form of grain milling and so on. Not at all dissimilar to the requirement of the landlord to maintain the central air heating and cooling, and keeping bugs out of it.

I would posit there is probably blame all around for the breakdown in the renting economy made all the worse by an overweening government acting as the Supreme landlord. Bad landlords who treat their tenants merely as resources to be extracted from are shocked when their tenants decide to give them the shaft. Overly entitled tenants who believe they have a right to the exclusive use of something that is not theirs are shocked when they are thrown onto the street.

The biggest problem is there is no responsibility accepted by individuals anymore and there is no agreement on mutual responsibilities between contracting parties. But why engage in this way when there is the massive government to control every facet of your life that you can run too for whatever reason.

Maybe it's because I once spent six months of my life homeless due through no fault of my own, and I'm still in possession of the faculties that led me out of that hole.

Maybe it's because I've watched a pair of morons that haven't been paying rent because of that moratorium, but have spent their money on drugs.

Maybe it's because the arguments I've heard for keeping the moratorium up are literally the dumbest shit I've heard in my entire life politically.

But I have zero fucking sympathy for these assclowns. Pay your fucking share.

Habitat for Humanity and all the other charitable shit Carter's done is him trying to make everyone forget how shit of a president he was

Get an acreage, plant a ton of berry bushes on it. Open up a "pick your berry" farm every autumn. You'll get a lot of money from young mothers who want something to do with their kids and get them a snack and old people who don't have the room to grow anything.

I agree with you.- A man who has land and just a mobile home is more often than not better off than a renter who has to deal with a land lord.

I am a landlord, though I try to be as accommodating as I can be when shit hits the fan for people like it did last year and Canada did sweet piss all to help. You can't get by on what they gave and taxed 25% of it.

I'm sure Biden has a plan. Just trust in the plan people!

It'll have to wait until he's done with his nap.

Thinking and breathing at the same time is hard, guise!

Habitat isn't the altruistic "sweat equity" organization people think it is.

They trusted Habitat for Humanity. Then it sold their mortgages to a Tampa company that flips houses

For nearly a half century, Habitat for Humanity has been helping low-income Americans realize the dream of home ownership. In return for their sweat and labor, they get the deed to a new house and...

I'll lose no sleep over deadbeats being thrown on the street. There is absolutely no excuse to not be working right now unless you a medically unable to do so. With how badly all businesses are hurting, you can't even use "I don't want a shitty job" as an excuse, literally every job you can think of is available right now.

this is why i budget to pay all my shit straight cash

niggas need a CISSP just to be first line help desk these days

I saw one job for VIA Rail making <40k/yr that required both an active Top Secret clearance and several advaned infosec certs (which have memberships around 100k each)

Most people aren’t going to be “out on the streets”. They have friends or family that can help them.

Saw my neighbors hastily loading a large uhaul today. Evictions for non payment of rent is a quick process in Nevada.

Don't have a source, but heard Biden is trying to beg states and cities to continue the Moratorium

Yeah I'm sure asking and begging is going to stop landlords, you dementia ridden fuck

I can see the retarded blue states like California or New York taking the bait, but even they will have to cave eventually when they realize most landlords have stopped paying real estate taxes. Coupled with the shortfall from other tax sources thanks to COVID, a lot of states (and major cities) think they can squeeze landlords instead because it's not as easy for them to just up and move away.

Well wakey wakey retards. Good luck trying to make worthless deadbeats pay taxes when you've chased away a good portion of your tax-paying base. Anyone who panders to these people deserve to sleep in the shitholes they create.

My guess- it's going to either end up like DACA (in some political limbo state long beyond its initial introduction), or is intentionally set up to fail, as the Supreme Court had already ruled that this was Congress's responsibility- a new moratorium would get challenged immediately, and then the Biden regime can foist the blame onto others and say, "We tried!"

 

[GenociderSyo]

So is this gonna be all at once or is gonna be a slow burn over the next several months? It seems like the latter according to what little info I know about this.

Guessing slow burn just due to sheer amount of cases. There is for one county in the state here 50 to 100,000 eviction/foreclsures queued up.

 

[Aqua Panda]

They really are going to pull the surprised Pikachu face when property taxes next year come up massively short in a lot of areas, aren't they?

SOOOO many states are going to have a shortfall and are going to have to cut budgets and programs. Tons of small rental places just aren't going to be able to pay.

Welp it happened. Congrats biden. Enjoy your lawsuits.

U.S. CDC announces new 60-day COVID-19 eviction moratorium

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday issued a new 60-day moratorium on residential evictions in areas with high levels of COVID-19 infections citing the raging Delta variant after having rejected an earlier push by the White House.

I wonder how many landlords will vote Red in the midterms and 2024 because of this?
