    What’s the long term plan there?

    Buy for cash, rent until the next natural disaster destroys the building and… then what?

    Doesn’t the landbastard have to pay for the tenants to be in alternate accommodation until the original one is returned to a liveable state?

    I can’t see how that’s profitable either…

      They also have the money to lobby state governments to get rid of protections in the states where they have a large presence.

        Besides then they can turn around and sell some of that land that’s not underwater yet back to the government for “temporary” refugee resettlement tent cities

      They don’t think that far all they really care about is maximizing short term profits

      If we’re talking about Blackrock/large REITs, the answer is “get bailed out by the government (despite it abandoning the little people to the wolves) because you’re in the big club ‘too big to fail.’”
