    There’s probably another 10% owned by individual landlords with 3+ properties as well. It’s driving prices far more than you think. I’m my town something like 37% of single family homes are rental properties, if you don’t think that’s causing insane inflation of house prices in my area you’re crazy.

      The biggest issue is lack of construction. We’re building fewer units now than we were in the 1960s, despite having double the population today.
