5 million? Why would it be cut off there?

Because that's plenty to not be a large scale leach. It's quite a few cheaper homes, but not a lot in places like San Francisco, and despite the massive amount of hate for all landlords, people do sometimes need to rent homes instead of own them. People who plan to move, for families that go around in contracted jobs that spend a year or so in one city, etc.

That has to be illegal somehow. A multi-billion dollar entity should not be able to spin up any LLCs. LLCs are for small businesses owned by people local to that area (except Montana tax loophole LLCs - that shit needs to be closed, too, geeting real sick of seeing douchebags driving giant lifted "business" trucks or goddamn supercars with Montana plates in not-Montana).

Shouldn’t be any at all, else you see parent companies (e.g., Alphabet) just fragment their investment companies into bunches that handle no more than $150m at a time. Or $10m. Or $5m. At a certain point, it’s just the same system with updated paperwork.
