1/5th of owners have an investment property, they could sell it and still live in the current place and have a ton of cash

That's fair, and the article goes through a few key points that I agree with. The article title is just clickbait, but annoying because it's alienating. I don't think it makes sense to write a headline based on 1/5th of that group being land speculators.
