Today’s episode talks about Ron and Heather’s standpoints regarding the latest article from Time Magazine which gave emphasis on how booming the real estate business is despite the pandemic while millions of American renters struggle in paying their rents and other daily expenses due to losing jobs.
The pandemic has forced families to spend more time at home. Thus, creating a higher demand in bigger spaces and considering moving to suburban areas to take advantage of the cheapest mortgage rates.
The whole point of the article was that the rules should be changed to make it easier for the renters who have insufficient savings to become homeowners because homeowners are better off than renters. IS IT REALLY TRUE and IS IT NECESSARY that rules have to be changed?
Does the news give us the AMPLE INFORMATION? Or is it FILTHY at all?
