Where I live, in the fastest growing big city in the US, it is absolutely commercial investment firms buying up all the homes. I used to get calls several times a week from these guys want to buy my house in cash. I stopped taking their calls and now it has slowed to only a few calls per month.

The last call I took, last year, they were ready to buy my house in cash at market value without looking at the property.

The majority of the houses in my neighborhood are rentals, and there are thousands of houses in my neighborhood under the same HOA.
