Деньги же в их ремонт собственники не вкладывают, основные фонды не обновляются. Цель совершенно прозрачна: как можно скорее "нагрести" собственный капитал, а там хоть потоп.

stuff their pockets


Explanation:
stuff one's pockets переводится именно как "набить карманы", т.е. нажиться несправедливым/нечестным образом

Realtors don't really care about the community. They just want to stuff their pockets at the taxpayers expense.
