Zillow Offers Loses $881 Million In House Investing Yes, even major corporations can make bad decisions that lead to massive losses.

And then they underestimated the difficulty of finding reliable contractors in multiple markets. And then Dallas home buyers were not interested in buying renovated houses that were over-priced.
