Data shows that nearly a quarter of all homes purchased last year were bought by investment companies, raising the price of affordable housing.
Investors bought a third of single-family homes sold in Georgia (33%) last year, with Arizona (31%), Nevada (30%), California and Texas (both 29%) not far behind. Montana saw 21% of its home purchases made by investors.
