I'm just thinking out loud, but someone needs to dox these properties.

Home ownership is a public record.

"Blackrock" isn't gonna give you much info to work with, unless you want to burn down the houses they own. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people live in them, so that isn't a good answer there either.

After the civil war this should be made illegal

I can only hope.

It’s not investors. It’s that people create a corporation to own the property they own. To protect them from taxes and inheritance issues.

Edit: I only know this from a 4x4 app I use that details every plot of land owner. Lots and lots of shell companies to protect people’s assets.

Sounds like they have too many houses.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They usually only own the one property.

adding options for people who need to live someplace but buying isn't right for them.
