Sounds like the Republican party needs better leadership.

Not doing inspections puts the buyer at risk. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here
That the big firms are buying these houses and not having them inspected (to save on costs). Then turning around and renting them out to unsuspecting clients
And the sellers are assisting with that. So they can turn huge amounts of homes in a fraction of the time
Thats a pretty big point as to why it doesnt need to be allowed

It is what it is. I pity those trying to get housing these days. I don't blame the small mom and pop businesses who own several houses and are just renting them at market rates. They didn't set the market rates... they are just piggybacking off some of the corporations who own hundreds, thousands of houses who did set the new rental rates.
People are renting these places. So there's no lack of demand. But it's normally wealthier transplants from other areas renting them, or a group of 4 or 5 people pooling their money together to rent them. Rare to see a small family working two shite jobs able to afford to rent even the shittiest of houses.

I've said it here before, but my take on it is this "housing crisis" has been driven by two things:
1) Pretty much the largest migration at one time on our countries history, driven by covid
2) The inflation and workforce dropouts driven by the policies related to #1
3) Letting in 20,000,000 or so additional people over the course of 4 years
The market has and is still adjusting, but indicators are that it's catching up, as it always does. It just doesn't happen overnight.

This is a retarded take.
1) Home inspections cost a few hundred bucks, so a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the homes cost
2) The owner, in this case the corporation, is still on the hook for any repairs or maintenance
3) Whomever they eventually sell to WILL get an inspection and anything that's found they would have to pay for or make concessions on before selling
This is an example of someone using a talking point multiple times and the masses adopting is at truth without even thinking about it.

The intense, post-pandemic demand for rentals has eased as of early 2026, driven by a significant influx of new apartment supply and improved affordability. While the market is not "easy" or cheap, it is normalizing, with rent growth slowing to its weakest pace since 2020.
As I said, the market is catching up, demand is easing, rents are coming down.

This post makes no sense.
It would make some sense if they were flipping it to another homeowner, but a renter in the property will have lessor rights/protections and if the home isn't in proper order, the landlord will 100% be mandated to fix it.

You left out the biggest related to federal policies post-2009 that have done everything they could to prop up/inflate housing values, like ZIRP (which returned under Covid and basically broke the system) and QE.

Good. This is long overdue.

I assume the difference that would be pointed out is that single families aren't buying big apartment buildings. Those are almost exclusively bought/developed by large corporations.
ETA: For the first time in my time on this board I'm agreeing with SFP on something

They're buildings containing single family units. I think he's asking what's the philosophical/theoretical difference in the two, especially within the context of this discussion about big businesses impacting living units of families.

It is about being able to purchase SFHs. That's it.
Apartments are a completely different category in every sense possible.
Your gotcha attempt is stupid.
