Between 2006 and 2014, nearly 10 million US homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure.

Who acquired the foreclosed properties?

Clara Miller reports that corporate buyers often swept in to acquire the foreclosed properties and that this practice was seen by federal regulators, “as a means to fast-track the acquisition of a large backlog of distressed properties.” It also marked, “the largest stripping of assets from working class and BIPOC communities in US history.”
