“This Is Wealth Redistribution”: Blackrock & Other Institutional Investors Buying Entire Neighborhoods At Huge Premiums

The corruption that has stemmed from the fascism in the united States is absolutely incredible, and the redistribution of wealth that was talked about in the Obama era has now moved into the housing industry.

Tyler Durden has the story.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Remember, the rulers have already told us we will own nothing and be happy.  They didn’t tell us that they will own everything and you’ll be charged to live and breathe their air. This is only one step toward that dystopian nightmare that we are already on the path to unless we wake up quickly. Masters own everything, slaves own nothing.

As the real estate market continues to break records, a cabal of institutional investors has been tossing gasoline on the fire – buying up properties hand-over-fist as middle-American renters watch their dreams of homeownership fade at the hands of pension funds and other financial behemoths.

“You now have permanent capital competing with a young couple trying to buy a house,” according to real estate consultant John Burns, whose firm estimates that in many of the country’s hottest markets, roughly one 20% of homes sold are bought by someone who never moves in.

“That’s going to make U.S. housing permanently more expensive,” said Burns, who thinks home prices will climb as much as 12% this year, on top of last year’s 11% rise.

“Limited housing supply, low rates, a global reach for yield, and what we’re calling the institutionalization of real-estate investors has set the stage for another speculative investor-driven home price bubble,” his firm concluded – finding Houston to be a favorite location for investors, who have accounted for 24% of home purchases in the area.

The coronavirus pandemic sparked a race for home-office space and yards. Occupancy rates reached records and rents are rising with home prices. The ecosystem of companies that service, finance and mimic the mega landlords is booming.

Burns counted more than 200 companies and investment firms in the house hunt: computer-assisted flipper Opendoor Technologies Inc., money managers including J.P. Morgan Asset Management and BlackRock Inc., platforms such as Fundrise and Roofstock that buy and arrange for the management of rentals on behalf of individuals and builder LGI Homes Inc., which now reports wholesale home sales to bulk buyers in its quarterly results. –WSJ

In one example, a bidding war broke out over a D.R. Horton complex in Conroe, Texas – after the homebuilder put the entire subdivision up for sale. After a “Who’s Who of investors and rental-home firms flocked to the December sale,” the winning bid of $32 million came from an online property-investment company, Fundraise LLC, which manages over $1 billion for around 150,000 individuals, according to the Wall Street Journal.

D.R. Horton ended up booking roughly twice what it typically makes selling houses to middle-class homebuyers according to the report.

“We certainly wouldn’t expect every single-family community we sell to sell at a 50% gross margin,” said CEO Bill Wheat at a recent investor conference.

What does this mean for the average American family? We’ll let Twitter analyst @APhilosophae take it from here in this ominous, yet soberingly accurate thread:

Remember, The World Economic Forum has warned us of their intentions: You will have nothing and be happy.

I say, we take it back to them and start unleashing a slew of justice on their criminal heads.
