They would still need to be rented out to create cash flow. Although there is constant apartments being built there is still low housing stock

Do you actually know any houses where you live that are corporate owned?

I don't personally know of a single family property in my town or any other town that has a corporate owner.

i live in western essex county and pay attention to whats for sale. I'm not aware of any single family homes bought by some sort of corporation. Apartment buildings are another story and they seem to be springing up non stop around here
