Interactive map: Where out-of-state investors look to buy a home

Blue state buyers look to invest in red states

Many investors in states with more expensive housing markets look to other states to purchase their investment properties.

As it turns out, many of those less expensive housing states are red states, that is, states that traditionally vote Republican, and many of the out-of-state investors are from blue states, or states that traditionally vote Democrat, according to a new report from ATTOM Data Solutions, a fused property database.

The report shows that 3.4 million single-family investment homes nationwide are owned by an out-of-state investor. That is about 16% of all single-family investment homes.

Here are the top 10 states with the most investment homes owned by out of state investors, where those investors are from, and if the state is red or blue – based on the most recent presidential election:
