Investors are buying more single-family homes than ever before.
The share of investor-bought homes has climbed from 7 percent in 1999 to more than 25 percent in 2023 -- a two-decade high, according to data firm CoreLogic.
The data shows mega investors, or companies that own more than 1,000 properties, are most active in areas like the Tampa metro, where home prices are increasing.
With cash offers, investors can readily outbid buyers looking to purchase a single-family home.
