As CBS News Atlanta previously reported, more than one in four single-family rental homes in metro Atlanta are owned by large corporate investors — more than 72,000 homes — giving the region one of the highest concentrations of institutional ownership anywhere in the United States.
Housing advocates have argued that those companies can outbid families with cash offers, reducing the number of homes available to first-time buyers while contributing to higher home prices and rents.
Warnock has repeatedly cited those trends in pushing the legislation, saying corporate investors have increasingly treated homes as financial assets instead of places for families to live.
I wonder how this is going to affect https://arrived.com/ – I have some minor investments there I’d prefer not to lose.
Still, this is quite good news, for exactly the reasons Warnock says, even if I lose every red cent in my arrived account.
Ewwwww. I sincerely hope every penny you gave them vanishes. You don’t deserve it back for investing in something so slimy.
Eh, one of the founders is a friend of a friend, I don’t think it’s “slimy”. Though I have complained about some aspects both publicly and privately to him.
It was easier to get into than to actually buy my own property, but there’s been a lot of changes to it since I bought my first shares of a local (to me) property.
You say while participating in something that actively makes it harder for people to buy their own property.
hopefully it negatively affects that investment quite heavily
