      Most of the problem is not driven by corporations:

      Investors owing between one and five properties account for 85% of investor-owned homes, and those owning between six and 10 properties account for another 5%, bringing the total share of small investor-owned homes to about 90%.

      It’s boomers.

          I’m not sure. That’s just a quote from the article. I’ve heard similar things before. If my memory is correct, the thing I heard before had a statistic like this (if not the same one) for single-family homes, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

        Jesus! Did not know that and have been saying owning a couple homes is no big deal, that this is on the big investment corporations.
