“Professional owner” is an interesting euphemism for parasite.
You mean getting the equity “for free” because they presumably get the equity back on sale? Sure, but it’s not guaranteed.

Most professional owners use short term loans, often interest-only, so there’s almost no equity at all. The deal only profits if it sells for way higher than the purchase price

Amir Ali became a federal judge weeks before Trump’s second term began. What came after was a level of political and legal pressure unmatched in the modern era. We followed his first seven months on the bench. https://trib.al/wGixp6H

I feel inadequate to describe a book like this with the right superlatives--I don't want to reduce the book down to one thing in doing so... but I hope Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This will find a large audience.
