I am not here to nit pick about this post, but this made me think:

    > owning a lot of houses is not a good business
Generally, I agree. What do you think makes commercial (office) buildings different? Probably 90% are owned by insurance companies, private equity, and pension funds. My guess: Scale matters. Also, maybe I am blinded by big cities, but second tier cities and below might have lots of small fry landlords that own one or two small commercial buildings


I'm not sure, but I know everything about CRE is totally different from residential.

Office buildings are generally larger, and the tenants are more professional and more likely to pay for maintenance themselves.


Office buildings are different because companies have more money and lower standards (for acceptable density) than residents.
