Most upvoted comment on ZH >>banks learned from the last debacle. they take their fees on mortgage originations and selling them off. in communist ussa, the fed, fannie mae and freddie mac hold the vast majority of mortgages. in fascist ussa, blackrock etc own a huge number of homes outright. all bets are off on how this manipulated market behaves. Also >>Not a word in the article about Blackrock. Every article about residential real estate should include something about **the entire market getting sodomized by Blackrock.** lol
