How much federal grant money was wasted to tell them what anyone with an ounce of common sense already knew?
The supply was created for a certain population. However, there are vast numbers of people here who do not pay taxes. And, they disproportionately take up the affordable housing that might otherwise be available.
And, if you will check the IBJ articles from the last 3 years, you will see incredibly renter-friendly decisions that further depleted the supply of affordable housing.
What you need are MORE landlord-friendly laws–such as quick and low-cost evictions for non-payment. Once you have that, more landlords will enter the market, knowing that their investments could pay off. As it is, good landlords leave (or do not enter) the market, investing their money elsewhere. That leaves a higher percentage of almost industrial-level (often out-of-state) investors who have little if any interest in vetting the renters and bettering neighborhoods and the like. This, in turn, engenders dislike of rental units in homeowners associations.
Patrick, you do know Indiana is one of the most landlord friendly states right? We don’t need more laws. We need more supply and a balanced market. It’s a supply shortage combined with buyers who secured super LOW INTEREST RATES. They’re not selling in the next 10 yrs unless they fall on bad times or unemployment starts ticking up. I agree with the corporate landlords (big business) and lack of care for tenants but I’m a landlord myself. Our properties are in C class areas. We self manage and it’s completely different. It’s all about scale. The higher the units the lower the quality of PM.
Why do we have such a supply shortage, Jaron, when birth rates are at an all time low and population growth is generally stagnant? How did this supply shortage emerge so suddenly in just the last three years? How long can we continue to blame the bottlenecks and destabilization of the construction industry? They’d absolutely love to crank out more homes while it’s this lucrative.
At some point we have to recognize that the supply shortage can only accompany a surge in demand, but since there’s not a surge of young people (youngest Millennials, oldest Gen Zers) seeking housing since many are still living with their ‘rents, who is causing that surge in demand?
I could look southward–FAR southward–but that apparently makes me a racist. Oh well.
Jaron, you are right. I should have written my comment better. We do not need more laws. We need to take down the laws that are interfering with the market. It may seem counter-intuitive, but taking down some of the tenant-friendly laws would actually create more supply. For example, my wife and I considered taking some of our savings to buy property in our neighborhood to rent. However, after researching it, I decided that what a bad renter could do to a landlord was not worth the risk. During the pandemic, the executive branch of the government (and less often the legislative branch) literally allowed renters to stop paying rent, and imposed a moratorium on evictions. Meanwhile, for some of these renters, they were making more money with Covid relief than they had made before. It was ridiculous. Meanwhile, I have seen scumbag tenants who literally take appliances, lighting, baseboards, and even flood the units on purpose. No one is prosecuted, because the cops say that is a matter for landlord-tenant court. Even after the moratoria were lifted, the judiciary then inflicted insult after injury by imposing unnecessary, costly mediations on landlords who just wanted deadbeats gone.
