4th Industrial Revolution

America is being twisted out of its private property as homebuilders are selling entire neighborhoods to Wall Street. Since 2019, the so-called Build-to-Rent sector has exploded by 270%, and now represents 9% of all single-family construction. The metrics have changed: it is now more profitable to rent a house to you than to sell it to you in the first place. Affordability and availability have driven home-buyers out of the market, forcing them to rent. The trend seems irreversible, regardless of economic conditions. The current trajectory suggests the transformation will be complete by 2030.
