  1. People need to understand that less that ¼ percent of all rental housing in the US is owned by corporate landlords while the remaining ¾ are owned by the Mom and Pops. The challenge that " working " landlords face are increases in property tax; increase in homeowners insurance and another increase in HOA fees; well who is supposed to pay for that ? Most " working " landlords want stable rent for their tenants but the greedy politicians that keep raising the valuations on our rental properties tend to pigeon hole us and leave us with no other choice. We can talk about nightmare tenants and squatters and the hassles associated with getting these people out of your property because of tenant rights. We'll save that for another time.......

  2. Let's make sure we keep things in perspective and not be misled by this video. What's listed below is JUST for the state of California; it was a simple Google search: Less than 2% of single-family homes are owned by investors with 10 properties or more, statewide, according to the California Research Bureau. What institutional investor-friendly markets have in common: Rapidly growing populations and relatively low real estate prices compared to rents.Mar 7, 2024 Here's another reference; again, from Google: According to a report by JP Morgan Chase, there are 50 million residential rental units in the United States, but 41% of them belong to mom-and-pop landlords or "individual investment landlords." In other words, mom-and-pop landlords oversee around 20.5 million rental properties in the US.May 13, 2024 Yet another; this is from the National Rental Home Council: Single-family rental home companies own approximately .19% of the residential real estate in the United States. There is not one state in the country where single-family rental home companies own more than 1% of the housing inventory and only four states where they own more than 5% (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, and Nevada). Of the 23 million single-family rental homes in the United States, single-family rental home companies own approximately 1.16%. NRHC: WwW.HOME RENTALHOMECOUNCIL.ORG

  3.  @xletzyy  Really ?? How much more IGNORANT can you get ??? I cited my sources and you can verify on your own with a simple Google search that outlines the facts. But, if you want to keep believing that the sky is green then be my guest. Go ahead and argue with Wikipedia and stop wasting my time; you better start adjusting your lifestyle because NOBODY gives a sh!t about your problems. There's plenty of room under the overpass......
