Welcome to the Rental Boom!

By Marco Santarelli


Opportunity in the rental market is really warming up. Rates are rising, vacancies are dropping, and stockholders are aiming to buy properties for long-term rental earnings.

Owners have enjoyed the advantage since the housing crisis as increased interest from renters coincided with little new supply of rental units. Rising mortgage rates, tighter borrowing requirements and higher home prices have taken many people out of the home-buying market. Plus, many remain burned by the housing crash and don?t wish to own a house.

The most recent Rental Screening Solutions industry report published by TransUnion discovered that average rental costs have increased nearly 4% nationwide last year while the credit risk of candidates for those properties as measured by TransUnion's Resident Scoring Model has steadily improved, with a median improvement of 1% in the year.

Although buying a home is 35 p.c cheaper than hiring in the long term, a rising share of US citizens are choosing to sign a lease rather than a deed. Pros envision home possession will fall further in the next few years.

Buying isn't the "American Dream" anymore. The North American Dream used to be synonymous in the American psyche with home possession. Not so anymore. Today, the most well-liked definition of the American Dream is retiring with monetary security, followed by being debt-free, according released in Sep by Credit.com. Just 18 percent claimed that buying a home was the American dream.

According to Zillow information, home-ownership rates are predicted to fall below 65% in 2014, the lowest level since the mid-1990s and an advantage to investors in real estate who will see increased demand for their rental properties and continued increase in average rents and home costs.

These rising home costs will encourage USA citizens to move, but to less expensive areas where housing is cheaper. Metropolitan areas like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Indianpolis and Kansas City will continue to see a expansion in residents and make great investment markets to build your tunkey real estate portfolio.
