Welcome to the Rental Boom!

By Marco Santarelli


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

Landlords have enjoyed the edge since the house crisis as increased interest from renters coincided with little new supply of rental units. Rising mortgage rates, tighter borrowing needs and higher home prices have taken many individuals out of the house purchasing market. And, many remain burned by the housing crash and don?t want to own a house.

The most recent Rental Screening Solutions industry report published by TransUnion found that average rental costs have increased almost 4% across the nation 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 last year.

Even though purchasing a home is 35 p.c less expensive than hiring over the long run, an increasing percentage of Americans are choosing to sign a lease instead of a deed. Pros predict home ownership will fall further in the following couple of years.

Purchasing isn't the "American Dream" any more. The American Dream used to be equal in the North American psyche with home possession. Not so any longer. Today, the hottest definition of the American Dream is retiring with economic security, followed by being debt-free, according released in Sep by Credit.com. Just 18 p.c claimed that buying a home was the North American dream.

According to Zillow data, home-ownership rates are envisioned to fall below 65% in 2014, the lowest level since the mid-1990s and a benefit to real estate investors who will see increased requirement for their rental properties and continued increase in average leases and home prices.

These rising home prices will inspire Americans to move, but to more cost effective areas where housing is more affordable. Metropolitan areas like Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Indianpolis and Kansas City may continue to see a expansion in residents and make great investment markets to build up your tunkey real estate portfolio.
