>The landlords buying up real estate are mom-and-pops with fewer than 10 properties. That might be true, but there are lots of companies that own more than 100

  You might want to read into data like this (1) to get a better view of how much housing stock those companies own as a proportion of the total market (it's very little). The data is kind of hard to get, because many small landlords have incorporated as LLCs/LLPs and they make up the bulk of "corporate" ownership. But it's pretty clear that the big time owners like institutional investors/REITs/etc own less than 2% of all units. (1) https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R47332.pdf https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R47332.pdf
