Corporations holding residential real estate are a growing part of the problem, but still a small one. The vast majority of single famliy homes are still owned by either their residents or small time, non-incorporated landlords.

Never mind increasing the supply of housing would drive down prices and remove pressure regardless of who owns the existing stock.

Do private homeowners and small-time landlords generally leave their homes vacant?
