IMO they need to change their model. If someone has been affording rent at 2k for many years, then they can afford a mortgage at 1.5k, that's not the case nowadays.

Renting on a yearly basis at $24k/year is very different than committing to the deed transfer on land + house at $18k/year on a 30 year term.

For one, rent can get more expensive, vs a fixed rate mortgage which doesn't.
