Wall Street Isn’t Buying All the Homes—But Here’s the Catch

January 27
17 mins

Episode Description

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.
