What are people investing in in 2019 and why?

Single Family Rentals

The most highly sought after and fastest growing segments of rentals have been in the single family sector for these reasons:

·      More affluent dwellers have chosen to rent.

·      Many people over the past decade were forced from their homes during the Housing bust and found solitude in renting.

·      Many baby boomers are now choosing to remain more transient as they want a clear path to relocate and be closer to their children and grandchildren.

What these people all have in common is that they are used to living in single family homes and choose to remain in them. Living in a single family residence and still remaining transient where they are not tied down is appealing to this new group of renters. Investors who want to appeal to this audience will want to think like a lateral move or move up buyer and provide the amenities they seek in a home.

Opportunities: The rental demand for these single family homes are typically a 3 bed 2 bath home with a garage which is in perfect harmony with the most highly liquid able and most profitably appreciating investing class of real estate.  Cash flow tends to be less on these property classes but appreciation tends to be strongest. Incidentally this appreciation tends to be the number one wealth building principle and has generated better than 90 percent of todays millionaires.

Many institutional investors have recognized this huge demand and are working to fulfill this need by building more multi-family dwelling to accommodate them. However, they face challenges and expenses that threaten their ability to be effective.

Increased building cost, qualified labor shortages, higher tariffs on imported material all cause delays and increase cost.

Opportunities:  Cash flow Investors love this.Existing multi-family properties will generate great cash flow. The big benefit investing in existing multi family is the manufactured growth you can generate. Multi family homes have a reduced buying audience as typically only investors purchase them. The price of them is directly tied to the income it generates so getting a great buy on a well performing property will buy you cash flow but not huge in the appreciation. To gain huge appreciation you want to manufacture growth. The quintessential value play will help you accomplish this and reward you with massive appreciation.
