Show Notes

Following the Trump administration's comments on home ownership, Brad Hunter explains that institutional investors own a negligible percentage of single-family rental homes in the U.S. and are not the cause of housing affordability issues. He attributes the problem to a significant undersupply of homes, estimated at 1.5 to 2 million units, asserting that building more homes, including "build-to-rent" properties, is the crucial solution. Hunter also addresses the disconnect between the perceived overbuilding by homebuilders and the actual supply shortage, pointing to the price ranges and locations where new homes are being constructed.
