The Growing Crisis of Unaffordable Housing in America

TL;DR Summary
Housing affordability in the U.S. is at an all-time low, particularly for first-time homebuyers, due to factors such as aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and excess stimulus spending during the pandemic. The Fed's actions may indicate a desire to increase the number of renters and support the growing investor class. To navigate this situation, individuals are advised to focus on owning their primary residence and investing in rental properties to secure housing affordability in the future. Cash flow from rental properties is emphasized over property values, as it provides stability and financial independence.
