Many apartments no longer have an office. They have a phone number of the company with hundreds? of properties across the country.
No one to give you a quick price quote or ask questions important to you, just a shut-down office and that phone number.
Every single dip in housing prices = gobbled up by companies
The wealthy/corporations take advantage of every opportunity while the masses don't even know there's an opportunity (and the ones who do have no way of taking advantage).
Actions don't have to be illegal to be unethical. And even when you have the right to do something doesn't mean you should. I don't even fault the wealthy really, but the system in place promotes a snowball effect in wealth.
I could be wrong, but I feel like turning $1 million into $10 million used to be difficult and risky, but nowadays, it always seems inevitable.
