From my post below here is a snapshot of the greater Phoenix area.

Zipcodes with the highest concentrations of investor-owned homes include:

Mesa – 85209 with 3,251 investor properties
El Mirage – 85335 with 2,155 properties
Scottsdale – 85260 with 1,596 properties
Mesa – 85202 with 1,438 properties
Buckeye – 85326 with 1,223 properties
Phoenix – 85015 with 1,194 properties
The largest single owner of investor properties is a company called Invitation Homes, which began buying houses in the Phoenix market in 2012. As of this quarter, the company owns 8,744 homes here.

And more

AZ Family Investigates examined data from the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office, which contained information on every residential property in the county. We found hundreds of investors have bought tens of thousands of properties. The 700 largest investors own more than 71,000 residential properties.
