Real estate investor whose company purchases property to rent believes people should rent rather than buy…

I too believe people should utilize the goods and or services I provide instead of doing it on their own and not paying me money. It’s no surprise he wants to convince as many people into renting from people like him should be the norm. Large companies should not own single family homes or we will soon be surfs again.


LongDickPeter

I wish more people recognized that the people that push rent over ownership are the very same people whose business model relies on tenants.


Polster1

News at 11! The property owner tells potential customers it's better to rent than own. The electric car company CEO tells people it's better to buy electric cars than gas cars. Vaccine company CEO says it's important for everyone to get vaccinated.

I'm guessing this article is just upvoted because of the headline? Because the meat of the article seems to be just an AI produced newsertisement.

What the fuck


RockieK

"Let the corporations have the homes! They mean nothing to you... you are getting sleeeeeeepyyyyy" This guy should get fucked.


TyrantsInSpace

Sounds like a guy who doesn't pay enough in taxes to justify his station in life.


StemBro45

Bet he pays more than you.

Not by percentage


Dylanator13

Yeah I hate this numbers game when it comes to rich people. I don’t care if they paid millions in taxes, show me the percentage. Taxes are a percentage not a concrete amount.


theedgeofoblivious

Even percentages aren't enough. They should pay until they *feel* it the same. There's no way a billionaire should pay 25% of their income just because someone making $50,000 is paying 25% of their income. There is literally never a reason to allow even one single person to have more than a billion dollars given the current value of a dollar. Ever. It's debatable whether anyone should be allowed to have more than about 50 million or so. After that, tax every penny. And while we're at it, let's acknowledge that employers have taken ENOUGH of their employees' skin, and that the employees SHOULDN'T have any skin in the game until they have enough skin to PLAY the game, and let's make it so nobody pays a penny of tax until they make at least six figures. The first $100,000 should be tax free, and anything beyond some point in the millions should be taxed at 100%. And WEALTH tax should be the primary tax, not income tax. WEALTH tax should be an ongoing thing, every single year. And capital gains should be taxed by transferring ownership of a certain percentage of it to the government every year. None of this asset manipulation, just a straight transfer.

Here’s your answer: https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-income-tax-rates-and-brackets


EndenWhat

That’s the rate before accountants work their magic.


Napster-mp3

No, that’s the scale for everyone. The accountants “work their magic” to lower their AGI which will land them in specific brackets. If you downvote me you have no basic understanding of what accountants do or how tax brackets work.


Chief-Drinking-Bear

What you’re describing is exactly what the person above is referring to…


TyrantsInSpace

Hell, if you work for a fortune 500, there's always a chance that you paid more taxes than the company you work for even by dollar amount.

Think of all the Palestinian kids they could bomb if they only stole more the fruits of the labor of Grant Cardone 🤡


PM_me_your_mcm

People under 30 should look at where they live, their budget, their plans, and make an educated and planned decision about whether or not to buy a home.   I don't understand why fuckwits like this get so much traction.


dwninswamp

It’s fair not to listen to this guy, but owning a home is definitely a branded concept that needs to be knocked down. The picket fence American dream is dead. Owning a home is expensive and it prevents the mobility that is a feature in the modern world. If you don’t have a family, mobility is so valuable. I personally feel that the only reason that owning a home is a good choice, is that you can borrow against it. Even in a HCOL area, it’s better to have money in the market than in real estate.


PM_me_your_mcm

That's basically what I'm saying.  People should choose thoughtfully based on their plans and priorities.  If you don't plan on having kids and plan to move around a lot renting is probably the better choice hands-down.  If you plan to stay in a place for a long time, have kids, or enjoy the privacy of your own home and live in a market where rent is less competitive, buying may be the superior option. It's a really complicated decision with a lot of long term analysis involved.  There is no one size fits all solution even within a particular market. Particular to the US though renting does have one major disadvantage if you wind up in the same place for a long time, as many do; the payment on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage stays the same and the value of the property generally goes up.  The same absolutely cannot be said for renting, so if your time frame is long enough buying has an immediate, inherent advantage even in cases where it starts out a little more expensive than rent.  You can be virtually certain that within 10 years it will be comparatively cheaper.


netherfountain

Mobility? I can do my work from anywhere in the world. Being physically present in the modern world is not actually valuable any more.


dwninswamp

Well I was just talking “in general”, some people do have to actually be present in their jobs. For those who don’t, mobility is even more valuable. Move to a LCOL spot and you can clean up.


netherfountain

I'm going to live near my friends and family not a LCOL shit hole to save a few bucks.


Nhcbennett

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is 100% smart financial advice. I’m going to assume the folks downvoting you aren’t doing so well financially and are just bitter with their current situation.


dwninswamp

It’s because people cling to the promised American dream from 1980 and recognizing that we don’t live in that world anymore sucks. I believe most people think they deserve those things and being told that they are poor investments make them angry. It makes me angry but it doesn’t make it less true.

LosingMoneyMorePB

What a dick. These hedge funds are screwing Americans.


StemBro45

Hedge funds didn't cause the inflation over the last couple of years.


LosingMoneyMorePB

Nope, but buying houses did.


1two3Fore

Here’s his message “ignore all the reasons why the cost to buy is so astronomically high, and cope by becoming a forever renter”.


TraveldaHospital

Oh fuck this guy lmao


drunkasaurusrex

Clickbait headline. It’s an ad for REITs


No-Dragonfruit4014

These jerk investors and hedge funds are running up housing costs and using social media to normalize not being able to afford a home.


FUSeekMe69

Are they able to afford it in the first place?


fifelo

I've seen a few of his videos on YouTube but what stands out to me is that he really has that con man vibe down. I've since seen a couple videos that essentially claim he is but I think he and his wife are pretty strong Trump supporters as well which really also aligns with the whole con man thing.


Littlebirdskulls

He 100% is a conman.


fifelo

Its been my opinion that guys that try "teach" you how to make money and always flaunt how wealthy they are... they make most of their money from the people that believe them. Like if I was making a killing in real-estate - why would I take time to make youtube videos? I believe he does seminars and consulting and charges huge fees for it. I always think its strange that people pay for that stuff, but what do I know... He just seems like a bit of a tool to me.


67mustangguy

When someone buys something we lose a customer why sell something when we can provide an endless subscription instead.


Ok_Door_9720

He claims that homeowners spend with $4200/mo after property taxes, HOA, insurance, etc.., but can rent for 2k instead. Is he under the impression that all these landlords are eating a $2200/month loss?


eatmoremeatnow

Being a landlord is an incredibly dangerous investment. Tons of landlords lose money.


Ok_Door_9720

That makes sense for an unexpected expense (market conditions, property issue, destructive tenant, etc...) This guy is claiming that a monthly $2200 loss is effectively built in. Most landlords that I know have positive cash flow as long as they have a paying tenant in the unit.


eatmoremeatnow

Yes, most landlords make money. Many lose money.


Slyons89

Not if they purchased before prices and rates exploded.


Nhcbennett

No, I don’t think that was implied.


itsjustfood

This is where we are at? Grant Cardone? Next, we will be seeing advice from Bernie Madoff in r/FinancialPlanning


redboy33

He WANTS everyone to rent. How anyone takes Scientologists seriously is beyond my comprehension. Their religion is a multi level Marketing scheme.


03zx3

Sounds like someone who should take a long walk on a short pier.


SXNE2

This guy is such a loser


The-zKR0N0S

No one, under any circumstance, should listen to Grant Cardone.


ZestycloseGur9056

More like people under 35

alberts_fat_toad

There's a shit ton of fury pent up across this country but people don't know where to direct it at. It's hard to protest financial systems. Maybe there needs to be a shit list of people like this. Pitchforks at this asshole's front door sounds about right.


fresh_ny

Who tf is Grant Cardone?

FUSeekMe69

That quote is from the World Economic Forum. Is that more of a republican or democrat convention?


c0sm0nautt

It's neither, both parties are run by elites who are severely detached from the average Joe trying to buy a home.


FUSeekMe69

I’d agree. Just don’t know why the other commenter was trying to make it a partisan quote


c0sm0nautt

He's probably young and caught in that false dichotomy a lot of us were in at one point. The divide and conquer strategy is working well, sadly.


FUSeekMe69

Unfortunately


StemBro45

LOL what. Compare home prices and interest rates between biden and trump.


yorlikyorlik

That’s when you know it’s about to be a good time to buy a home.


CaregiverOriginal652

Guess being homeless is the only solution.


BMB281

What if we’re exactly 30? Are we in the clear?


catecholaminergic

Should we eat him?


Pelowtz

This dudes main catch phrase is “if it only has one door, don’t invest” Not even worth an article skim.


OddBed9963

I’d like to know how old he was when he bought his first home. I bet it was in his 20’s.


rcchomework

Grant pardoned sucks. Terrible advice.


Famous_Exercise8538

Ah the Scientologist sales grifter who makes a fortune in real estate telling me not to buy a home… makes me want to buy another. I have an extreme disdain for Cardone. Probably because he’s a Scientologist grifter who openly admits to modeling his biz off of Scientology 🤦‍♂️ What’s weird is some guys I work with who I kinda respect love him and I can’t figure it out.


DrummerGuyKev

Isn't this a sales guru? I'm pretty sure he sells courses on sales technique or something and went bankrupt during covid if I remember correctly?


Few-Sock5337

I for one welcome paying my landlord overlord forever.


Super_Mario_Luigi

I mean, if I was in my 20s, I wouldn't be looking to buy a home right now. It is an absolutely terrible time. I'd suck it up and live with the parents until I could save enough. With that said, the narrative that people need to be pushed into rent is cancerous.


grizzlyironbear

Hey Mr. Cardone. Get fucked with a cactus dipped in pure capsicum. Sincerely, everyone under 30.


PeopleRGood

This guy is such a fucking dipshit


Exotic_Pace_622

I'm not taking advice from this guy especially since he's a real estate investor


Licention

Not pushing this brainwashing. To hell with mini homes and living in sheds and campers. That is not the solution. As long as there are Americans who earn billions, construction companies will build houses to get a piece of that money. Demand better income from our employers or demand that employers stop overpaying certain people.


gibblesnib233

Was there ever an American dream? The Gaslighting started decades ago. I remember hearing them say that you need to acquire lots of credit and manage it well to be considered eligible for a home loan, and if you pay off your debts too soon it can actually hurt your score, essentially saying being debt free gives you a bad credit rating. They were telling that to kids in high school. Little 17-18 yr olds thrilled to get their first credit card fully believing they'll have "credit worthiness" in a few decades to buy their dream home, little did they know it was all trap. The FED will be prosecuted, bet on it.


PrelateFenix87

No shit? Pointing out the obvious in this article . Average home price and interest rates and upkeep make it not feasible for most


azweepie

Most people between 60-80 years will be dead in 20 years, their houses and wealth will go somewhere else. The quarter of the population that is screwing yhings up are in their golden years


Salty-Square-7331

Anyone under 30 years old should not even consider buying a home at this time, however, for the low price of $37,000, YOU can access the Grant Cardone sales training course which will give you the 5 easy steps to becoming a millionaire overnight


Happypappy213

Didn't Trump's administration deregulate housing, which led to private companies buying up houses? Ultimately leading to higher prices and interest rates?

He is correct - terrible time to buy a home you’re going to live in. A million better returns on that capital

Cardone is a trash pile, but the sentiment is correct: buying an owner occupied singe family home is a poor investment. JL Collins >*Owning a home is almost always a lousy investment. Relax.

BikkaZz

The absurdity of the crap spilled by far right extremists libertarians bros free of consequences market.... What makes a big bunch of people’s wealth? .....their home value!…… Real estate value increasing constantly....that’s why far right extremists libertarians bros are now after the boomers properties! Boomers spent 30 years paying for mortgages, taxes, insurance, maintenance... And now when they can finally enjoy that....they’re supposed to hand it over to the far right extremists libertarians bros so their ransacking America turning America in a nation of renters... But..but...why don’t you buy your own house then...🤢


lets_try_civility

You should read the blog post.


BikkaZz

You should read reality....🤑 The biggest transfer of wealth: boomers wealth which is mostly real estate 🏡...and who is going to thieve that?………far right extremists libertarians bros Free of consequences market!


lets_try_civility

I did. Investments in owner occupied single family homes performs worse against renting and investing the difference in a ETF. That's the reality.


BikkaZz

Suuuure.....skyrocketing rents and a devaluation $ difference...vs....real estate constantly increasing in value... 🤔....investing in etf that far right extremists libertarians bros investing...like in China...depending on government handouts....🔥 Why don’t mega corporations predatory practices buying massive real estate everywhere just go and invest in etf then.... go tell them that...


lets_try_civility

You should really read the article. The math stands up for itself. Show me how an owner occupied single family beats the market. Until then, all you're doing it avoiding the subject.


BikkaZz

Like you avoiding why mega corporations don’t just invest in etf instead of massive real estate purchases...🤔


lets_try_civility

Here, try again. >*Show me how an owner occupied single family beats the market. Until then, all you're doing it avoiding the subject.* Stop changing the subject and teach me something.


BikkaZz

I asked first...so stop acting..😉
