No it isnt. That makes no sense, and housing shouldnt be an investment scheme anyway. Their values cannot rise indefinitely. That's the root of our housing problem right now.

What economic reality results in more houses being built with less investment.

We have a lack of houses. Lowering the price will not make houses materialize or do you think some magic will happen?

What economic reality makes housing affordable when used as a corporate investment scheme? What percentage of framing or roofing is provided by foreign-held stock portfolio? I can see we're gonna yell past each other as you refuse to recognize what the housing shortage actually is. I lived in a country that built houses just fine and met the demand just fine until Reagan deregulated finance and manufacturing. Your concepts will find no purchase here, as they are a proven failure.
