1 in 4 Fort Worth Homes Owned by Corporations
A recent report from the city of Fort Worth reveals that more than a quarter of the city's single-family homes are owned by commercial interests. This significant finding has raised concerns among local residents and officials about the impact on the housing market and community dynamics.
The report indicates that 26% of single-family homes in Fort Worth are now under the ownership of companies and investors. This trend is part of a broader pattern seen in various urban areas where commercial entities are increasingly purchasing residential properties. The implications of this shift are multifaceted, affecting everything from housing affordability to neighborhood stability.
City officials and housing advocates are particularly worried about the potential consequences for local residents. The high rate of commercial ownership could lead to increased rental prices and reduced availability of homes for purchase by individual buyers. This situation might exacerbate the challenges faced by first-time homebuyers and those looking to settle in the area.
The report has prompted calls for policy interventions to address the growing influence of corporate ownership in the housing market. Some suggested measures include stricter regulations on property acquisitions by commercial entities and incentives for individual homebuyers.
The goal is to ensure a balanced housing market that supports both economic growth and community well-being.
As Fort Worth continues to grow and attract investment, the city must navigate the complexities of maintaining affordable and accessible housing for its residents. The findings of this report underscore the need for proactive measures to manage the impact of commercial ownership on the local housing landscape.

Top 5 Corporations Owning Single-Family Homes
BlackRock: Known for its extensive investments, BlackRock is a major player in the real estate market, with predictions suggesting it could own a substantial portion of single-family homes by 2030.
Vanguard: Similar to BlackRock, Vanguard has significant holdings in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other real estate assets.
Blackstone: This private equity firm has been actively acquiring single-family homes, particularly in the Sun Belt region, and is a prominent landlord in the rental market.
Pretium Partners: Another key player in the single-family rental market, Pretium Partners has been acquiring homes to build a large rental portfolio.
Invitation Homes: This company, along with others like Tricon Residential and American Homes 4 Rent, has been purchasing thousands of homes and developing built-for-rent communities.
Concerns for First-Time Homebuyers
The increasing ownership of single-family homes by large corporations raises several concerns:
Affordability: As corporations buy up more homes, the supply of homes available for purchase by individual buyers decreases, driving up prices and making it harder for first-time buyers to afford homes.
Rental Market Dominance: With a significant portion of homes being converted to rentals, potential homeowners are forced into renting, often at higher costs, which can perpetuate a cycle of renting rather than owning.
Market Manipulation: There are fears that large institutional investors could manipulate the housing market, further increasing prices and reducing accessibility for average buyers.
Community Impact: High levels of corporate ownership can affect community dynamics, as corporate landlords may not have the same vested interest in community well-being as individual homeowners.

1. Convert your Federal Reserve Notes (printed money not backed by anything) to Silver and Gold. So you are not buying Silver; you're simply trading paper for real money!
2. Start with Silver, which is in "beast mode."
3 Gold will hit $3,000 this year.
4. Gold to Silver Ratio will hit 60 within a year (most likely). There are reputable precious metals analysts suggesting the Gold to Silver Ratio to go as low as 15 which would place silver at $200 per ounce
5. This places our Silver target at $50 within a year.
6. Today's price of Silver is about $30.50
7. The percentage increase from $30.5 to our price target of $50 is 63.93%
