Do institutional investors own all of those remaining fourteen million homes?
Do institutional investors own all of those remaining fourteen million homes? Not even close. Not even close. Let’s take it one step further. There are four categories of investors: The mom & pop investor who owns between 1-9 SFRs The regional investor who owns between 10-99 SFRs Smaller national investor who owns between 100-999 SFRs The institutional investor who owns over 1,000 SFRs These categories show that not all investors are large institutional investors. To help convey that even more clearly, here are the percentages of rental homes owned by each type of investor (see chart below): Learn more about investing and building wealth in Real Estate with Top Agent, Marquesa Hobbs. cell 719.238.0330 office 719.536.4444 Marquesa@ColoradoHearthstone.com 6760 Corporate Drive, Ste. 300 | Colorado Springs, CO 80919

Are Institutional Investors taking over? If you’re thinking about buying a home, you may find yourself interested in the latest real estate headlines so you can have a pulse on all of the things that could impact your decision. If that’s the case, you’ve probably heard mention of investors, and wondered how they’re impacting the housing market right now. That could leave you asking yourself questions like: How many homes do investors own? Are institutional investors, like large Wall Street Firms, really buying up so many homes that the average person can’t find one? To answer those questions, here’s the real story of what’s happening based on the data. Let’s start with establishing how many single-family homes (SFHs) there are and what portion of those are rentals owned by investors. According to SFR Investor, which studies the single-family rental market in the United States, there are eighty-two million single-family homes in this country. But how many of them are actually rentals? According to data shared in a recent post, sixty-eight million (82.93%) of those homes are owner-occupied – meaning the person who owns the home lives in it. If you subtract that sixty-eight million from the total number of single-family homes (82 million), that leaves just about fourteen million homes left that are single-family rentals (SFRs).
