This chapter explores the factors contributing to the increasing attractiveness of renting compared to home ownership, including high costs, low inventory, and remote work flexibility. It also discusses the preference for single-family rentals and the desire for larger spaces due to COVID-19. Additionally, the investment potential of multifamily and single-family real estate is analyzed, with a focus on the Sunbelt trend and the concept of 'build to rent'.
