>They may have to offer tens of thousands of dollars over the asking price only to have those offers rejected anyway, Ms. Hilton, a real estate agent, tells them. They might have to put up thousands of dollars in nonrefundable fees to get a seller to consider their offer. And if they’re looking for a home for less than $300,000, they might be out of luck.
>About 2.5 million households shopping for a first home will be shut out of the market this year, estimates Nadia Evangelou, senior economist with the National Association of Realtors. That amounts to 15 percent of all first-time home buyers. In an already daunting market, investor purchasing is adding to the obstacles.

that's ONE of the issues i've addressed that no one has even entertained. i've been met with "well i bought muh house 20+ years ago, geez louis why are you complaining?"
even the people bragging about owning a gorillion houses (aka slumlords) are admitting you are predatory and you purchased your *first* home many years ago. not one person has addressed any of my real complaints, you keep putting up weird ass strawmen like "lol you r poor n dumb".
