Opinions on "iBuying"

Anyone ever hear of "iBuying"?  I saw a news clip about it on TV and looked it up.  Apparently, companies like Zillow and Redfin (among others) are buying distressed properties.  It doesn't look like they've expanded their markets to Houston yet but that's bound to change.  

Here is an article I found on it.

Any thoughts?
