    As observed in both California and Texas the only winners in real estate are people who pay off old mortgages early and corporations. Everybody else loses from runaway pricing, including owners with equity. It’s why so many single family residences end up purchased by corporations to become rental properties, because value is only realized by transaction quantity opposed to equity versus leasing.
