Lost out on a house to a cash offer. Two weeks later it's listed as a rental. I can't do this anymore.

My wife and I have been searching for over a year. We've lost count of how many offers we've put in Last month we found a place we genuinely loved. Offered $50k over asking, waived everything we could reasonably waive, wrote the letter, did everything right. Lost to a cash offer that came in $70k over. Fine. It happens. We've learned to process the disappointment and move on. Except two weeks after closing I drove past the house and there's a rental listing sign out front. Not a family. Not someone who needed a home. An investor who pulled it straight off the market, did nothing to it, and is now charging $2 800 a month for it

I know this is legal. I know I can't stop it. But something about watching that happen to a house you genuinely wanted to live in and raise a family in is a specific kind of gut punch that's hard to describe. The people I know who are my age have mostly just quietly given up on buying. Not dramatically, just slowly stopped talking about it. And I get it now in a way I didn't a year ago

Is anyone actually doing anything about this? Letters to local government, organized pushback, anything? Because I'm at the point where just venting on Reddit doesn't feel like enough anymore
