argumate:

One thing I’m curious about is whether we’re going to see a shift away from small private landlords to large corporate landlords with greater economies of scale.

This has absolutely been happening in American cities, investors assembled some decent portfolios of single-family houses out of the ruins of the 2000s housing bubble. That was one of the things on my mind when I was struck by mid-century neighborhoods characterized as having “residents” rather than “homeowners” the other day.
