In the wake of the housing crisis, institutional investors became some of the biggest buyers of foreclosed homes, buying the properties on the cheap and turning them into single-family rentals. Now, with foreclosure inventory shrinking, investors are turning to a new outlet to buy homes to turn into rentals, direct buyers. Direct buyers, or iBuyers as they're sometimes called, are companies that buy homes directly from homeowners with all-cash offers.
