About this episode

This episode explores the nuanced reality of Wall Street's involvement in the single-family home market and its implications for homeownership.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down the real story behind Wall Street and institutional investors buying single-family homes—and why the truth is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Nationally, the numbers are smaller than most people think, but in certain Sunbelt cities, high investor concentration is quietly reshaping affordability and access to homeownership. We’ll talk data, market mechanics, and where free markets work—and where smart guardrails may actually protect the American dream. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radicalwealthplan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction and Milestone Celebration 00:00:21 Episode Overview: Institutional Homeowners 00:00:54 Understanding REITs 00:01:27 Private Equity Firms Explained 00:02:18 Scale of…
