Las Vegas Realtor Noah Herrera is noticing a few eerie similarities between the housing market before the 2008-09 economic crisis and the current scene.

Before, it was Wall Street packaging risky subprime mortgages into mortgage-backed securities. Now it’s Wall Street buying as many entry-level homes they can get their hands on, renting them out in alleged predatory fashion and packaging them as rental-backed securities.

I'd like to see how they're "renting them out in alleged predatory fashion" since the market and politicians set the rate on rent prices.

Predatory in this sense means allowing people who cannot afford to rent homes, to rent homes. Same thing as the old NINJA (no income, no job or assets) loans that contributed to the 08 crash.

The entire point being, the banks want to sell these RBS bonds and will let the underlying rentals be extremely risky because that risk is not exposed to the buyer of the bond.
