Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star tad40, helped bring the opportunity to our community's attention:
[Silver Bay] is a cash-rich, debt-free company backed by [Two Harbors Investment (TWO 0.08%)] with an enlarging portfolio of single-family houses in some of the hardest hit markets, including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina and Texas. They specialize in the "acquisition, renovation, leasing and management of single-family residential properties for rental income and long-term appreciation." If you've missed out on purchasing a new home during the recent housing crash, you may want to consider [Silver Bay] as an alternative way to "own" these homes as the market continues to recover.
