Mega Buyers & the SFR Boom Explained — What It Means for Investors

About This Episode

Are mega investors really “buying up all the homes”? Headlines say private equity giants are snapping up 30% of sales in U.S. metros — but what’s hype, and what’s reality? In this episode of The Multifamily Investor Playbook, John Makarewicz breaks down the truth behind the clickbait:

✅ The history of institutional investors in single-family rentals (SFRs) after the 2008 crash

✅ Why groups like Invitation Homes and American Homes 4 Rent entered the space

✅ How today’s activity varies widely by metro (Atlanta, Texas, Florida, etc.)

✅ Why institutional ownership is still a tiny fraction of the overall market

✅ What this means for everyday investors — and how to think about diversification into multifamily
