What Does it Mean to Burn the Red Tape?

If you've found your way here, then you might just be as fed up as I am with the housing market. Rents are too high, real estate is too high, the process of trying to buy a home is way too complicated, corporations are allowed to buy residential properties, people are allowed to hoard homes, banks and investors have loopholes,  and no one is overseeing anything in order to make housing a more fair marketplace. Housing is a fundamental human right and we should care more about our community than greed when it comes to getting roofs over people's heads.

To burn the red tape is to break down those barriers and create a housing revolution. There are too many bureaucratic barriers to homeownership and the rental market is out of control. We don’t just need housing reform or housing regulation; we need both of those things and more. We need to revolutionize the housing industry.

This blog series will cover essential topics such as: the trap of "good debt" in college loans, credit reports and the lack of rental payment inclusion, not limiting housing prices to the median income of the area resulting in a complete lack of starter homes, politicians holding stake in or taking contributions from construction firms so that their solution is to build more rather than fix what's there. We will also cover property hoarding, why the concept of "investment property" should end, the convoluted structure of banks and mortgages, ballooning fees for rentals and HOAs, the conundrum of property taxes, and more.
