Apparently, a strong housing market\u00a0doesn\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0really depend on people having good jobs in order to come up with a down payment and service a mortgage.

These big investors and a handful of others have bought at least 55,000 single-family homes across the U.S. in the past year. In the Vegas area alone, they have accounted for at least 10 percent of the homes sold since January 2012, according to a Reuters analysis of housing transactions.<\/p>\n
