RealtyTrac® recently completed its second RealtyTrac Investor Sentiment Survey ™, surveying over 300 individual real estate investors across the country to find out how they viewed the market, what problems and opportunities they faced, and what their impression was of today’s environment for real estate investing.

• 48% of investors believed that the investment market is worse or much worse than it was a year ago
• Almost 63% of survey respondents listed the rising cost of homes as a major challenge for residential real estate investing
• The lack of available inventory was identified as the second-biggest challenge (57%) by the investors
