I don't even need to dig into the article to know it's bullshit. SFH are not a good investment when you're trying lease them out at scale. You don't get economies of scale which an apartment has.
Also no homes cashflow, the cap-rates are absurdly low, no credible institutional investor will buy them to rent out, let alone 40% of sale volume levels of purchases.
OP is just promoting their blog spam with zero research.
The amount of money buffet made from that trade is literally like $100 to you and me. It's laughable, what journalism is today, literally zero integrity. Buffet is one of the good guys...
This is why no one cares about journalists anymore too many purposely misleading pieces trying to force some kind of narrative.

You have no idea what you're talking about lol... Facebook or Google does not sell your data.
It's literally against their own interests to, even if you think they're completely evil... Them and Google have a data monopoly, why the heck would they ever sell that monopoly? They'll charge to have access through their ad platforms, but would never sell it, even if it were legal...
There's FTC, and EU regulations that govern big tech... I'd except better from Hacker News Readers...
Armchair internet neckbeard thinks he knows Social Networks better than Zuck; who literally has half the world using his products... lol
They're obviously not advertising it due to the product being close to complete... it doesn't even have search or trending yet... Why waste money on advertising if the product isn't even done yet?
