    Add in other corps:

    20% of all property purchases are for investments: 65% of those properties purchases are by people who own 10 or more properties.

      Doesn’t shock me at all. Like I said, it doesn’t make much of a difference which corporations actually own them. But I’m still surprised because if someone had asked me how many homes Blackstone in specific owned, I would have guessed a lot more.

        Curious to know if they’re counting buildings or units. Blackstone owning one ranch-style house would be very different than Blackstone owning a 500 unit tower block.

          I don’t know, IMO a home is a home. You can buy a condo just like you can buy a house. You can buy a condo bigger than some houses.

            A very big building holds more people than a very little building

              What difference does that make? This is about housing prices, not capacity.
