With institutional capital pulling back from the single-family rental market in recent months, the question of its future in this market remains. RealtyTrac has released a new report that studies the markets where Wall Street has invested the most in single-family rentals and predicts in which of those markets institutional investors are likely to remain in the near future.
Daren Blomquist, VP of RealtyTrac, tells GlobeSt.com, “Some of the markets that were originally darlings of the single family rental operators have fallen out of favor in part because of new construction that will now compete with the existing single-family rentals, but also because of rising prices that make acquisition costs much higher and therefore returns less attractive. These markets include parts of California as well as even markets such as Phoenix and Las Vegas and to a certain extent Atlanta.”
