> Institutional housing ownership in the US is not a material contributor to housing price inflation I believe this nationally, but when you see things investors buying 1/3 of Atlanta homes in a given quarter [1] or investors buying 26% of the affordable homes, it becomes hard to believe there is not some level of effect occurring in target population centers. Most of the arguments I see about the small effect of investor purchases seems to focus on national averages (happy to be pointed elsewhere), but I think focusing on national trends will dilute the observed effect where it is occurring.
