Wall street hedge funds and trusts like Blackstone, Lone star trust, Bayview Servicing and Selene Financial are buying single family homes. The future wish list of these trusts and investors are to become your landlord. These new landlords will use the same tactics with homeowners that they will with tenants. The fear, which is already demonstrated in California, is that they provide very little maintenance of the property, they have very high late fees; hike rent indiscriminately and move to evict quickly. As the mortgage crisis was a national, international crisis so is the next affordable housing event. Single family homes and Trust landlords have appeared in Los Angeles, Portland, Boston, and as far away as Spain and Tokyo. One Solution has been advocated in New York is to allow a community trust. The idea is to allow nonprofit housing counselors and other organizations such as Catholic Charities to have first options to buy single family homes at auction. The non-profit/ charity could then provide a reasonable loan repayment for the original family living in the home. The loan would be at a reasonable rate, terms of repayment and at the auction value vs the predatory loan value offered originally.
