Multifamily is Still Hot

From coast to coast multifamily housing is in hot demand by both tenants and investors. Boston and New York are seeing their first modular apartment buildings going up, ethical investors are leveraging this sector to fill the desperate need for affordable housing, and builders are switching from sales to rentals.

January 2021 saw continued strength in multifamily starts and a 20% rise in permits, yet the National Association of Realtors has maintained that new construction still has a long way to go to keep up with demand as the expectation of the number of renters in the US are considered to rise.

A new luxury townhouse rental development on the Pacific coastline in San Diego, CA highlights how this trend is catching on at all levels of the market, while leading investment advisers like Brad Sumrok in TX promote the superior advantages of multifamily, including streamlined management.

Of course, aside from the enhanced returns, and pressure to increase urban density, one of the reasons multifamily is so popular right now is that consumers are credit challenged. This is not much different on the flip side for investors either. Many real estate investors have had their own challenges during the last seven years. Thanks to a brand new loan program from Rental Home Financing investors no longer need perfect credit to engage this niche.
