Companies tied to investor Joey Chianese, of Virginia, have bought 150+ homes at dirt-cheap prices from the poorest neighborhoods of St. Louis.

He then sells the properties using a model like rent-to-own, which yields investors a steady cash stream with little to no responsibility, and leaves buyers without the protections afforded by mortgages or landlord-tenant laws.
