I’ve been hearing about hedge funds buying up houses and found this article to be the best overall explanation of how it started and the current state of affairs in the US. It’s distressing and unfortunately I don’t see a way to turn back the tide here– they have a cash cow and they’re going to keep accumulating at the expense of neighborhoods and people who want to buy to live in a house. Interested to hear if anyone has more insights about measures being taken to curb this. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/02/single-family-landlords-wall-street/582394/
