    There is a need for some home rentals. Like taking a job in a new city that may or may not pan out long term but you still want to bring the whole family.

    Or you need a few more years to save up for a down payment.

    Or you are ready to buy a house, but the current mortgage rates are frikkin’ insane and you want to wait a year or two for the rates to come down.

    • Or your house gets water damage and your insurer needs to put you in another house while yours is fixed. That’s not what these companies are buying these houses for. They are buying all of them to try to force people into rentals.
