    Billionaires and rent-seeking companies. There are at least three national companies I can think of who are hoarding single-family homes in major cities and renting them out.

    Generally they purchase at scale via REO scenarios, and provide no value whatsoever while driving up prices drastically

    One example is a company called “Progress,” no better or worse than the others but with a meaningful web presence if you’re curious.
