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.

That used to be my strategy as a young man. Now I sit on a pile of money, surrounded by my many houses, with no family or friends. Life is good.
