Lori Goodman

Lori Goodman appears in Two indicators for lowering the rent as a housing-finance voice defending some functions of institutional landlords. The episode uses her to argue that large investors often buy homes in worse-than-average condition and can finance repairs through crews, bulk purchasing, and access to capital that individual buyers may lack.

Her contribution is not a blanket defense of corporate ownership. It sharpens Corporate Landlord Tradeoffs by adding the repair-and-capital channel to the price-pressure debate, while the same source later contrasts that claim with Stephen Billings’s permit-based research.
