So pick a market and give a denominator that you think isn't misleading.

Three corporate landlords from out of state own over 19,000 homes for rent in metro Atlanta

17,000 total homes were bought/sold last year in Atlanta out of 284,000 residential properties (this includes mostly apartments and attached properties). Best number I can find is around 80,000 detached homes. That is a meaningful amount owned by corporate landlords.

And that denominator is still misleading because they aren't buying the super expensive multimillion dollar homes or the slums in the hood. They are buying from the pool of that middle 70-80% of single family homes, the type of home the IRL OTer is in the market for.
