Once the housing market started to slide in 2007, smart investors began buying, and waiting, for rock-bottom prices to kick in. Investors were buying homes in some of the best markets for dimes on the dollar, and have seen massive profits whether keeping them as buy-and-hold rentals, BRRRR deals, or flips. While small investors started buying a couple of houses a year, <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/impact-institutional-investors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">institutional investors</a> were doing far, far more.Private equity funds, along with <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2013-02-25-reits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">REITs</a> and hedge funds knew that foreclosed homes were a steal, and their economies of scale made it even easier to turn these financially mismanaged properties into <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/2015-07-21-whataes-important-aecf-appreciation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">appreciation and cash flow</a> kings. As institutional investors began fixing up these homes, listing them for rent, and later selling them, the entire market moved in an upward direction.
