I’ve been diving into the "build-to-rent" strategy lately, and it seems like a smart way to secure long-term, stable cash flow—especially in markets with strong rental demand. But as we know, every strategy comes with its own set of challenges.
For those who’ve ventured into build-to-rent, what’s been your experience? Have you found any surprising hurdles or unexpected opportunities? Or is this something you’re considering for future projects?
Would love to hear your thoughts and any advice on how to make this model work more efficiently. Also, if you’ve had success in certain markets, I’d love to hear about it!
I agree that this sounds interesting. Right now I am holding to rent for the long time, and am thinking of selling to get cash out and then repositioning into other houses. This resets the depreciation on some of my older houses. Sure would be nice to start with a newly built house at the beginning.
