2 things I’ve seen. 1- landlords prefer section 8 assistance because it is guaranteed income and they don’t have to worry about you not paying or losing your job or another pandemic where they struggle to pay the mortgage because not only are you not paying but they can’t evict you so they lose the property. 2-lots of corporation landlords that have tons of property in one area aren’t actually looking for tenants, they just pretend to and leave the places vacant to artificially inflate demand and inflating rent prices.

In short, you’re f*cked.

Boston area that are triple deckers or 2 families it’s very true. You may not want to hear it but it’s true.

Also they ladder is happening all over the country. It’s actually a hot button issue at the moment and a big reason people are fighting that big corporations shouldn’t be involved in residential housing
