what about not allowing companies to buy hundreds of houses as rental property?

It's not just companies. Individuals are also chain buying places. Establish income from airbnb, leverage for their next purchase.

My real estate agent was buying his 3rd airbnb while I was looking 2 years ago. Dude was in his late 20s.

I'm hoping the house of cards comes crumbling down. Been dealing with housing insecurity as my landlord terminated our lease.

While I do agree with your point, individuals aren't buying hundreds or thousands of properties. It's corporations buying up a limited resource that are driving up the prices, not I-own-three-houses landlords.

Nah, I'm gonna go ahead and still be mad at both despite them being different degrees of bullshit. Thanks.

What about two houses? That you plan to pass on to your children?
