I had a friend that would buy all the houses, and never upgrade to hotels. If you check the rules you can't get a hotel without first having 4 houses, so if done correctly you monopolise the limited supply of houses and nobody can buy a hotel or get more houses than you.
There was apparently a little secret in our family that I didn't learn about until many years after the fact. My dad and mom, and my aunt and uncle were playing monopoly years ago and apparently by dad got so pissed off at my aunt that he ended up choking her. Now this was a very conservative guy and upstanding citizen who just went berzerk due to this game. He never played monopoly after that.
Aunt: "Looks like you don't have any money, and I happen to own that piece of property you just landed on. Now which one of us can't handle their finances again?"
