1. K&R

2. Everywhere now

No one should own more than one house. With dementia don, nothing will be done. Damn, we need a Democrat tsunami.

3. Rental houses are in demand now. Why? People can't afford mortgages, some want to wait awhile before

jumping in but want a house atmosphere. Some are transplants planning to rent for a short period while they get the lay of land. Plenty of other reasons.

Point is, these homes are being used to house people, probably some good Democrats too.

I’d have a problem if investors were holding houses off market, but they aren’t. Similarly, if they were conspiring to set rents I’d oppose them. But don’t think they have market power to do that. Though I’m sure some will try.

Finally, 38K is minuscule in Atlanta area.

4. Tax the shit out of them. Nt

5. Blood from a stone

You can only squeeze the little guy so much and when the collapse comes we all lose. Greed is and was never good.

6. Home ownership is the key to 'the American Dream', and that key is disappearing

A potential homeowner looking to buy a home with a mortgage, doesn't stand a chance against a corporation offering a cash-buy. We need to tax corporate-owned homes HEAVILY, to encourage them to put those homes back on the market.
