The phenomenon of investment vacancies in city centers

In the most expensive districts, many apartments stand completely empty. Why? Funds and wealthy investors buy them not for rent, but to store capital. Instead of dealing with tenants, they wait for the value of the real estate itself to rise. For the local community, it's a problem because prices go up and the center dies. Such trading often takes place in closed circuits, but direct listing platforms are starting to crumble this monopoly, giving access to unique offers to a wider audience.
