Investors Eye Build-to-Rent as Long-Term Play

Jun 20, 2025

As homeownership becomes increasingly out of reach for many Americans, investors are pouring capital into build-to-rent communities—purpose-built neighborhoods of single-family homes designed for long-term renters. These projects are proving especially attractive to families and remote workers seeking space without the mortgage, offering investors predictable cash flow and fewer tenant turnovers.

For corporate real estate professionals, the Build-To-Rent model is gaining traction as a scalable, income-producing alternative to traditional multifamily, especially in suburban growth markets.
