Yahoo Finance Editor's Edition: There isn't just one type of real estate investor
Investors are scooping up more real estate than any other type of buyer in Canada, including first-time home buyers.
"A sudden influx of investors in the housing market likely contributed to the rapid price increases we saw earlier this year.

They talked about clients looking for investment properties.
