It’s driving up prices and taking away properties from people who want to live and be part of the community. From what I’ve read, it’s a huge problem and in the Memphis market. I imagine the full article lists the cities. But, there’s a paywall and I couldn’t read the whole thing. Regular folks can’t compete with these all cash offers. I hate that this is happening everywhere.
