Who Really Owns The U.S. Housing Market? The Complete Roadmap

“Is BlackRock really buying up all of the single-family homes in America? How involved is Blackstone? Are private equity firms and big investors taking over the housing market? Are “build-to-rent” communities becoming a trend? Are foreigners buying up U.S. residential properties? Who owns all of the vacation rentals, manufactured home communities, and student housing? Are we really going to own nothing and be happy? Whether you are looking to buy, sell, rent, invest, relocate, or just want to keep your eye on the ball, this report will act as a roadmap, showing where individuals, mom-and-pop investors and large investors monopolize different sectors of the housing industry and where the hot locations are.”
