That actually seems like a good one. They already do maximize their profits. They just won't have a room to do it further

Another bad aspect is that institutions use the assets(houses) as leverage for stock market plays. So they just stack profits on profits while generating profits and your average person can't buy a house with a mortgage lower than their rent that goes up every year.
