Institutional investors are often blamed for America's housing affordability crisis, but are they really the problem? Ron Phillips breaks down recent claims about banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes and explains why the numbers don't support the narrative. He walks through actual ownership data, highlights why government regulation and inflation play a far bigger role in rising home prices, and challenges listeners to look past political talking points and into the real drivers behind housing supply, demand, and affordability.
