Local Community Trends Influencing the Rental Home Market

Hello Friends,
   Welcome back, and hope your year has been going great so far!

   We are proud to share an article with you from Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine, in which I was quoted a few times. The article, "Look for Community Appeal", which was written by Teresa Bitler, appeared in the Trends in Rentals Section (in the November - December 2011 issue - Please see a copy of the article linked here).

   From the vantage-point of our website, Lease2Buy.com, I was asked to comment on the market trends that I have seen over the past 10 years of running the site, and more specifically, over the past few months.

The following two excerpts include my comments from within the article:

#1: "The housing market is definitely influencing the rental market, says Robert Eisenstein of HomeRun Homes. A growing number of people are in foreclosure, have sold their home through short sale, or can’t qualify for the necessary financing to purchase a home. Those people still need a place."

#2: "Eisenstein has also noticed a spike in requests for rent-to-own properties, possibly indicating that while people have been forced temporarily to enter the rental market, they would eventually prefer to own their own home."

   This is a great article, and very timely. The golden rule is to "know your market". Know the prices, demographics, employment figures, etc for the specific community that you focus on, either as an agent, investor, or both.

   How well do you know your local market?
