Roughly one in six California houses is owned by someone who doesn't live there but investors' market clout varies across the state. That's what my trusty spreadsheet found after reviewing a BatchData report that found investors of all sizes own 1.28 million houses statewide 17% of California's supply of houses and townhomes. Investors in this study include everything from giant companies controlling thousands of houses to folks with a small collection of rentals to short-term rental operators to people with a second home.
