I’m convinced that I’ve joined a middle school cult here on what they call Newschoolers.... Are there any people on here that have careers to convince me otherwise? What do you do for a living?!

Dylan_You can’t really blame people who flip for real estate prices, sorry- but nice try.


Yes, yes you can. No, it's not the only driver of housing prices and is not one of the largest, but it absolutely contributes.

Example: around my area where it's rural. 20+ years ago properties were manageable. If you wanted to buy 100 acres for farming you could on an average income. Now any property larger than 5 acres that comes up for sale is bought well above market price by someone who just divides the land into a empty lots and sells them right away. If you want to buy your 100 acres of land for farming, what would have been maybe 150k a couple decades ago people are trying to sell for 2+ million. Flippers buy up land at a price well above what someone who actually wants to live and use the land can afford, then flips it a couple years later as a bunch of smaller lots.

Also, if it's profitable for flippers then it's driving up housing prices for everyone else. The only reason flipping works is because it's being sold for more than any value added to the property.

WillgumIt's understandable to say that about flippers, because at first look it seems to be a product of gentrification and greed. But flipping is a direct symptom of the changing housing market, and is inevitable in a free market. No point in getting salty about it.

One beneficial way to capitalize is on properties where the home is undervalued in relation to the land it sits on. By bringing the home up to free market value, it's satisfying the point at which supply = demand.

Just one of those things. Doesn't make Brenone a bad guy in my opinion, he's playing the game.


Yup, just one of those things where people make money to the detriment of others. Not all ways to make money involve losers, unfortunately this is one of them.

Okay, you’ve provided an article on one area and it happens to be in Canada. Is that the answer? More taxes? Lol. Housing will get even more expensive due to upfront costs from the investor. But in Canadaland taxing seems to be the solution to everything. I already pay property tax, school tax, mortgage tax on acquisition and capital gains. I can’t sell a property for more than it is worth. Supply and demand my guy. There’s not much inventory (at least in my market) and the demand is there.

Just because a few economists say something doesn’t make it true.. where is their data? I can show you articles that agree with my point of view as well.

Long story short, you called people who make a living off flipping houses “losers”. How are we losers by putting our own capital into our communities and keeping money local? Most first time home buyers want a turn key property and I provide that to them. I don’t cut corners, I am ethical and I provide a great product.

If I buy a foreclosed home (which is on the city/towns tax roll) for say 40k and I put 50k of my own money into it and happen to sell it for 140k(due to the availble comps of what property’s were sold for in my specific area) minus fees, holding costs, commissions, capital gains and taxes. Why am I a bad guy? I just improved your neighborhood and local property values.

Something is only worth what someone else will pay.

You need to stop watching hgtv because you’re delusional if you think people are “inflating prices” by 100’s of thousands of dollars. Hgtv isn’t real life and neither are the profits seems on tv.

Go get an fha loan at 3.5% down and buy your house (which is the worst “investment” one can make. Single family homes aren’t investment they’re liabilites FYI). And move on and quit ragging on people making a living off hard work and uncertainty of their next pay day.

To be honest you sound entitled with the name calling and all you’ve done is contributed nothing other than bash the ones out there making legal money and blaming it on others as to why you can’t afford a house. The market is the market and you can’t put it on investors.

Oh, alluding to your comment about subdividing land... that’s a different ball game and if a farmer can buy land before the price is “inflated” why didn’t they buy it in the first place before it was subdivided and was being sold for a reasonable price?

You took literally everything I said out of context.

1- I did not say those that flip houses are losers. I said there are losers when people flip houses (ie everyone wanting to buy property to actually live on it).

2- I did not say anything about solutions and certainly am not proposing taxes. I was using that article as an example of where someone a lot more intelligent in this matter than both of us combined points to house flipping as a large driver of real estate prices. This article is not a one-off. It is very easy to find others.

- it being in Canada makes a difference. It's where I am and where I actually see property flipping hurting people (see my example). Maybe it's not a problem in 'Murcaland, but it certainly is here (see Vancouver and Toronto as the worst examples).

'the market is the market and you can't blame it on investors'. Say that to people trying to buy a home in Vancouver where even with a 20% down payment you'd need a job that pays 1/4 million + a year just to get approved for the mortgage for even the cheapest detached house. Investors have absolutely been shown as the #1 reason for this. Some research helps.

Also where am I name calling?

“Some research helps” guy, I’d say my portfolio speaks for itself. People want to live in Vancouver- supply and demand not enough inventory. It’s not investors fault for the high cost of living. I live in New York where the prices are insane and so are the taxes- people want to live here. Why do you think rents are so high? Supply and demand along with increasing costs to owners.

You lower the affordable supply. Even if you eventually add to the supply for people making mid six figures.

The cost of living would be a lot lower if there weren’t so many vultures in housing.

All my flipped homes are priced lower than the median sale price of my area 🤷‍♂️. Are us “vultures” to blame when the market crashes or who’s the next to blame?!

This to. Van, the Bay, and LA all ruined because of Chinese investment no one normal can buy. Even if you have the money buying right now would be russian roulette with a crash coming at some point.

I don't care that much about house flippers when they aren't knocking an older/smaller/affordable house down and building a mansion in an already expensive neighborhood. Dude I just quoted isn't doing that so I don't really give a fuck about his biz.

Yea, you're wrong.


The key point to the article you picked is the location, ( Toronto) and the forces that are causing prices to rise: speculation. In the presence of speculation, flipping ( and literally any real estate activity) will cause prices to rise. In the absence of speculation, like in Dylan's case, house flipping does not cause prices to rise above fair market value. Find me a source that says otherwise and I'll admit I'm wrong.

You also misstated the point of that article. It's not saying flipping causes prices to rise more than foreign buyers when adjusted for respective volume. It's saying that a tax on flipping will be more effective than a tax on foreign buyers to cool the market.

Thank you, points I was trying to allude to in my previous posts. I don't feel like arguing on an internet forum over real estate with people who literally have no knowledge or first hand experience on the subject. as you said- speculation and one "case study".


I am far from salty and will continue buy/hold and flip real estate but to bash and blame others for your situation isn't going to get you far. Focus on yourself and it'll all be good imo.


There are many drivers in real estate, housing, construction ect but to blame "flippers" for your location just isn't the truth. Good economy- more construction, more development. Developers develop because there is demand in an area- that alone will drive up housing.


As I stated earlier- in my area my flips are sold for less than the median sale price in my area. An influx of people to an area that is desirable for one reason or another will drive up the price.

Yeah I mean I don't blame people for having misconstrued ideas about complex topics when they don't have much experience. It's perfectly normal. I'm sure my own beliefs about, say, foreign aid policy or blue collar unions are flawed because I'm not familiar with those areas. Same thing happens in economics and RE. The difference with RE is that the average person is always affected because everyone needs a place to live.

Also going back to our old exchange, I'll definitely hit you up for anything RE related especially if I move back to the 518!

Angel's Landing in Zion National Park.

I forced my friends to get up at 4am to hike into the park just to get those canyon sunrise shots. Ended up being so worth it. Watching the sun come up and bathe the canyon in light was an experience I'll never forget. The sky slowly glows a deep blue as the sun breaks the horizon, and then as it passes the ridge of the canyon the whole valley explodes in color. We were the only people on the fin of the rock, with nothing but the howl of the wind in the trees and the chipmunks scurrying around us, 1400 feet above the canyon floor. Amazing. Big recommend on that one.

The second shot of the video is from the bottom of that same hike. End of the hike is waaaaay up on that pillar of rock.
Received its name in 1916 when a group passing through the canyon commented that only an angel could land on top of it. So fitting.

Finally a salary.

I'm currently in the babysteps of chasing a career in film/marketing/advertising. Currently got an internship at a local resort and it's been really rewarding so far. Hoping I find more opportunities like that when I move out the U next fall.
I liked those pieces a lot, only criticism I have about the Utah one was some of the shots seemed to drag on a bit, I would have cut them by a second or 2. But other than that I think you're on the right track. I loved the transition with the door closing, that stuck with me through the whole video. Keep practicing and reach out to clients to get your name out there. Market yourself, make a reel of your very best shots and send them out. I think with more practice and experience you could do well in that field. What did you shoot those on?

Oil Geologist. Pretty great gig, live in Denver, it’s not M-F schedule so skiing is actually fun and not a huge pain in the ass (I really have no idea how weekend warrriors do it, I’d just quit).

As far from house flipping—it’s not the most immoral thing directly but ultimately leads to gentrification. And then ironically it’s more than likely ‘progressives’ that move into those neighborhoods who are big SJW’s completely neglecting the fact they just supported the forcing/pricing out lower class and minorities out of their homes

Chubz.I'm currently in the babysteps of chasing a career in film/marketing/advertising. Currently got an internship at a local resort and it's been really rewarding so far. Hoping I find more opportunities like that when I move out the U next fall.
I liked those pieces a lot, only criticism I have about the Utah one was some of the shots seemed to drag on a bit, I would have cut them by a second or 2. But other than that I think you're on the right track. I loved the transition with the door closing, that stuck with me through the whole video. Keep practicing and reach out to clients to get your name out there. Market yourself, make a reel of your very best shots and send them out. I think with more practice and experience you could do well in that field. What did you shoot those on?


Thanks for the feedback – always appreciate hearing what people think. Kinda hard to know exactly how good stuff is when you spend a long time looking at it under the microscope.

I shot the Utah one on a Lumix G7 and a Zhiyun Crane. The rocketry one was done on the same camera, but mostly Ronin shots.

My biggest roadblock seems to be that I have a physics degree and most places seem to want someone with a digital media degree or something of that sort. I have a LOT of experience in that realm but when it comes to video stuff, the only real thing I have in terms of a resume is the video stuff I've made. I have an online portfolio built, but analytics tells me not many people even reach it when I apply to stuff, so I'm not sure if they're being turned off by my degree or what.
