The article says that institutional investing (1000+ homes) is decreasing.

> Institutional investors that own 1,000 or more homes account for only about 2.2% of all investor-owned homes, the firm said.

Zillow lost a lot of money trying to flip houses a few years ago and stopped.
Ok ye well the idea was silly and probably quite easy to game.
