Who Really Owns Real Estate?

In this episode, we dive into the landscape of real estate ownership, focusing on who truly owns rental properties. We discuss the prevalence of "mom and pop" landlords, revealing that 96% of rental housing is owned by individual investors rather than large corporations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of keeping rental housing in the hands of homeowners, as they tend to be more relatable and connected to their communities. We also explore the growing trend of people preferring to rent rather than buy, leading to a decrease in homeownership rates. Join us as we unpack these insights and discuss the implications for renters and the housing market.
