Sell their homes to who? Is this like a NFT, always a bigger fool, kind of thing?
Fucking Aquaman?
To landlords, who will charge arbitrarily high rent, secure in the knowledge that they aren't in a free market due to inelasticity of demand (people can't do without shelter) and supply (there are finite places to live). That will let them pay the insurance premiums homeowners can't afford.
Premiums they will then offload onto renters keeping their margins.
Landlords are not immune from the market. It’s not truly inelastic in that people have a choice of where to live. Climate change will eventually suppress demand and thus prices for many parts of Florida.
Smart Florida money is buying land in northern Maine to move the orange groves to.
I keep trying to convince s few buddies we should pool our money together and get into RVs. Have a lot with RVs for rent. Move them from lot to lot based on needs. Park them outside business that don't pay well but have a lot of workers.
I've heard worse business proposals, for sure. But be careful about identifying as a landlord (even a prospective one) in a place like this!
Not actually going to own land and I am certainly not a lord. I am thinking more like I own RVs, rent them, and work with my renters to find provide parking and utilities.
Landlords aren't defined by literally owning land or literally being lords. If you own living space you rent out, you're a landlord, even if your apartments are mobile (including both RVs and houseboats).
But listen, I support you and your choices. This is not me being critical. We're just having this conversation in a space where it's much more in vogue to hate anyone who owns living space they rent out.
Republicans who want to jerk off to DeSantis and let some racial slurs fly without social opprobrium.
That's who has been moving there since 2020 or so.
Some people see Florida as America's floppy, deformed penis. Others see it more as a nauseating dookie emerging from the south. Scientists are still studying the area to find the causes of the mass psychosis, but urge all healthy adults to avoid the region and its inhabitants.
Nah just spin it up into a bunch of naked credit default obligations and mix it in with the A and AA tranches, what could go wrong?
Everything has a buyer at some price. These people will just have to sell at a loss, probably.
