About The Book
The housing crash turned millions of foreclosed homeowners into renters. Millions more are underwater, delinquent or in default. Waves of downsizing baby boomers (10,000 a day turn 65) are opting to rent. Boomerangers…3 million young adults who lived with their parents during the Great Recession…are now moving out to rent on their own. Every year hundreds of thousands of new immigrants are renting until they can buy into the American dream of homeownership. Simply put, millions of new renters will drive rental housing demand for years to come. Why is this important?
Today the convergence of below-market inventory, low interest rates and higher rents has created a once-in-a-generation “Perfect Storm†of opportunity in the single-family rental market. Get rich quick schemes are still too good to be true -- and are mostly bunk. Today get rich slowly strategies are paying off handsomely for smart real estate investors.
