During a collapse, what stops them from swooping in and buying up cheap property?
Bullets
the inability to be able to rent it at a profit usually. If they don't think they can get money out of it, they won't want to. If the economy hits a point where the housing market collapses, chances are they aren't going to want to risk the buy in knowing that they likely won't be able to sell for equal amount.
Or the much faster method: the "scary" government regulating it
The belief that it'll stay cheap and they won't make money
A lot of times they're correct. Home maintenance is expensive, if it doesn't get bought up and renovated it'll just end up on an endless list of foreclosures.
