Ryan Dezember of the Wall Street Journal has nearly a decade of experience covering financial markets. Recently, he has focused on Wall Street’s foray into the housing market — specifically their bet on single family rentals. Since 2012, Wall Street firms and big corporations have bought an increasing number of homes for the purpose of renting them directly to consumers - sending shock-waves through the market and affecting prices for renters and homebuyers alike. Dezember examines that phenomena and introduces viewers to rent backed securities. Filmed on December 10, 2019 in New York.
