Keys to Opportunity in the Housing Market: How Financial Models Advance and Constrain Low-income Communities, October 2, 2023 (video, 1:32:59). Open transcript in new window.
Since the Great Recession, financial markets have increasingly influenced housing markets and have had a particular impact on low- and moderate-income communities. Whether selling homes through contracts for deed or acquiring single-family homes to rent out, corporate and institutional investors are both expanding and constraining opportunity.
This seminar, presented by the Federal Reserve Banks Cleveland and Minneapolis on October 2, 2023, gathered experts for a research-driven discussion exploring how both contracts for deed and investor-owned single-family rentals are affecting lower-income communities.
