Can't remember where I saw it, but IIRC about half the homes sold in the last year in various Atlanta and Dallas suburbs were by corps, REITs, etc. Phoenix and parts of Florida are in a similar boat.

That doesn't mean half the homes are now owned by these corps, just half the homes purchased in last year or two were by corps. But in some cases they've bought whole subdivisions in one shot, so it's not too far from reality depending on the area.
