Is data on ownership of rental stock available to the general public? Curious about what percentage of landlords are individuals vs. larger companies owning mul

  It is sort of publicly available, but in an inconvenient way and you have to be dedicated to get an aggregate picture. For an individual building you can look at a few different things. I look at the address to which the tax bills are sent. This is usually a good way to estimate how many parcels are owned by the same entity. For a specific building, I search recorders records for the name of the entity I think owns it. This will turn up all the recorded deeds with the same entity name. Problem is many buildings are owned by single-purpose entities so then you have to also look in county fictitious business name permits and state business licenses.
