> Corporate ownership of SFHs is so small to not matter
People keep saying this and quoting total ownership figures, which is probably what Blackrock and co wanted. Look at actual purchases in the last 2 years instead. Blackrock has bought nearly 50% of all SFH sales in my area in the last year.
It's no coincidence that corporate buying percentages shot up with the prices.
Corporate ownership of SFHs is so small to not matter. The house you live in shouldn't be an investment.
