Blackrock is not buying individual houses. Are you confusing them with Blackstone, who did own a unit that bought and rented single family homes?

Thank you for the correction, I don't know the subject well enough to keep the names straight!

Blackstone is/was a division of BlackRock that got spun off as a separate entity.

Not according to Wikipedia

Blackstone was never a division of Blackrock
