There are a few, limited, cases where they should be able to.
For example, if they have operations in an area that has frequent medium term employees coming in and out. It’s valid for them to say we will offer you a house for the time you are here.
But I would generally agree there is no reason for an investment company to be investing in single-family homes. It’s good for the investment company, bad for society.
I think there are a significant number of different ways that a large corporation could provide housing for medium-term employees besides purchasing single family homes. Purchasing small apartment buildings, like a fourplex, or purchasing an empty lot and putting manufactured homes on it creating more housing instead of taking the starter homes from normal families.

In that situation they could buy a condo, for example.
