On this episode, Lindsay is back with a hot take, discussing the housing affordability crisis and how the issue is not unique to the United States. She covers the rising home prices and rents, the challenges faced by first-time home buyers, and the role of investors in the housing market. Although various countries have implemented policies targeting investor activity to improve affordability, the primary issue may be housing shortages rather than investor behavior. Policymakers are increasingly focusing on increasing housing production as a solution to the crisis.--To learn more about our full-service turnkey operations, check us out online at www.spartaninvest.comConnect with Spartan!Facebook: @spartanTURNKEYInstagram: @spartaninvestLinkedIn: @spartaninvestConnect with Lindsay!Facebook: @spartanlindsaydavisInstagram: @spartanlindsaydavis
