No idea where they got that stat from because it's not supported by anything they've linked to.

The article attributes the stat to "a study by Business Insider" but the reference links to an article in The Atlantic which: A) doesn't support the claim and B) is mostly dedicated to debunking it.

He probably wrote the entire article based on a certain conception, and then pulled in statistics that supported it without looking too closely at where they came from.

I don't even need to dig into the article to know it's bullshit. SFH are not a good investment when you're trying lease them out at scale. You don't get economies of scale which an apartment has.

Also no homes cashflow, the cap-rates are absurdly low, no credible institutional investor will buy them to rent out, let alone 40% of sale volume levels of purchases.

OP is just promoting their blog spam with zero research.
