My landlord recently told me how much they think the place I’m renting would sell for, and now idk why the owners even bother renting to me because the price is like 50 years worth of my rent.
The bubble could pop though and you lose out. The market has softened near us and there are people that have lost 100s of thousands in equity already, and are upside down in the mortgage
Of course, but a generation of homeowners grew up learning that, barring short disruptions, home prices always go up. Nevermind that this was largely due to interest rates steadily dropping since the 80s, reaching basically 0% during Covid.
Since there isn’t really room for interest rates to drop anymore people shouldn’t expect home prices to rise faster than incomes rise, but it’s going to be hard to undo 30 years of observation.
Well you see, he can take a loan on the equity, you pay the loan for him and he doesn’t have to pay any where near as much in taxes. You’re just helping out a landlord in need.

Because he gets a steady supply of money and then in 10-20 years it will be worth 100 years of your rent on top of the 10-20 they collected already.

I feel like “lose out” is an overstatement. There are/were still steady rent payments even if the whole bottom falls out.
