Are corporate landlords actually responsible for the current housing affordability crisis?

Large institutional investors are increasingly buying single-family homes, leading to legislative efforts to restrict their ownership. This video examines the evidence to determine if these corporate landlords are truly the primary drivers behind the decline in housing affordability.

The video investigates the actual correlation between corporate ownership and market prices. By analyzing the evidence, it seeks to clarify whether restricting these investors will effectively solve the broader challenges facing prospective homeowners today.
