Billions of dollars are being poured into build-to-rent communities and the industry is booming! Are developers able to keep up with demand for new rental homes? How long will it take to balance demand with supply? Is "now" the time to invest in this kind of rental property? Or maybe developers are overestimating future demand for this kind of rental and will end up flooding the market? In this episode, you'll hear from housing market economist Brad Hunter on this mushrooming segment of the real estate industry. Brad has been doing market analysis for 35 years and has conducted hundreds of housing demand studies at national and local levels. His market insights are available for builders, developers, investors, and lenders through his company, Hunter Housing Economics, in West Palm Beach, Florida. His opinions and forecasts are also widely covered in the media. Past positions include chief economist and national director of consulting at Metrostudy, managing director at RCLCO, and chief economist for HomeAdvisor.
