Big corps owning large swaths of single family homes seems like an unhealthy trend.

Where do you draw the line/define at corporate ownership?

C Corps can just be banned which tend to be the biggest problem examples.

(You can trivially make the ban pierce any ownership structures)

Big corps don't own large swathes of single family homes by any reasonable definition of 'large swathes'.

I don't agree it is an apriori bad or a cause of the housing crisis - in many markets these are the only people fixing up dilapidated homes and the only people putting rentals on the market - both of which are valuable services.
