Do you know any "flippers"?

Hi all,

Do any of you know any investors or builders who have been unable to sell their properties/investments and have turned to leasing them out instead?

I've been hearing about this lately and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the phenomenon or knows someone who has.  If  you have, would you please let me know and send me a few words about your or your clients experience.  I'm putting together an article about it.

I'm trying to get an idea of how much this is really happening, not just in California, but all over the United States.  It's an interesting niche of people who seem to have been caught in the transition of this market cycle.

Thanks in advance!

Betsy
