What happened
Maine leads the nation in investment real estate, with 30.9% of its units classified as investment real estate. Wyoming ranks second at 30.6%. Researchers noted that these states, including Maine and Wyoming, depend heavily on tourism, suggesting many investor homes are vacation or short-term rental properties.
Why it matters
The high concentration of investor properties in these states may provide clues for lenders looking to tap into the growing market for non-qualified mortgages. The report also noted that investor home purchases in the second quarter did not keep pace with the larger increase in overall home sales during April, May, and June.
