Top 3 Reasons to Invest in Build-to-Rent

Build-to-rent is considered a popular opportunity for accredited investors. The affordability and demand for rental housing may lead to impressive ROIs from single-family homes. This 2020 article from Forbes shares how yields can be higher from build-to-rent homes versus traditional apartments. Additional reasons to invest include:

1. The Market is Growing 

The race to build single-family rentals is spreading fast. There were 6,740 Build-to-Rent homes completed in 2021 (the highest amount to date) and the market is expected to double in 2022 with twice as many homes under construction. 

2, Renting is on the Rise

For the past 14 years, the percentage of renters has been rising in the United States. Due to student loan debt and other financial struggles, many millennials do not feel financially ready for homeownership. This, in addition to the housing shortage and pandemic-related housing shifts, has led to a space in the housing market that BTR has been able to fill successfully.

3. BTR is a Proven Concept

BTR has passed through its initial concept phase and the model has been successfully operating for several years. Because of this, operational data is readily available, enabling investors to make more educated decisions. 

How Redwood Fits into the BTR Equation

When looking at the signature strategy that has driven Redwood for over 30 years—the focus on creating quality, single-story rental homes for residents—Redwood has been in the BTR space longer than the term has been popular jargon. Each Redwood apartment home is found in a real neighborhood and laid out in one of our signature open floor plans, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an attached garage and a dedicated street address. 

Plus, unlike others in the industry, Redwood is a 100% ground-up construction development and property management company that doesn’t sell its neighborhoods of apartments once they are leased up.
