Wall Street's Bet on Real Estate

[Chris Kane]

As I was driving home from work tonight listening to Bigger Pockets Podcast 143 (which was excellent if you haven't listened yet) @Brandon Turner brought up a very interesting article that just came out on Fortune.com regarding Wall Street's housing bet not paying off. It is a very interesting article that Brandon and Josh started discussing at the end of the show but they didn't get too far into the conversation before ending the show so I was left hungry for more discussion on this topic. Here is the link to the article discussing events that may be some indication that the single family housing REIT's are headed.

I am curios what everyones thoughts are on this and how the market may shake up over the next year or two as a result of Wall Street realizing they don't want to be landlords.
