Do You Know About the HUGE 2003 Shift In Rental Real Estate?

In 2003 Redfin and other reporting groups announced that the single-person household became the dominant household. This means more people are living alone than at any other time.

Wow!

I remembered when I first learned this. As an investor in residential real estate, the following questions came to mind...

  1. - Is my customer base different than I thought?
  2. - What rental options do these single-person households have?
  3. - How can I get in front of this trend and make a **** ton of money by adding value?

What have you done to respond to this?

    Hi @Don Konipol- since you are a fellow numbers/research lover.  I thought you might appreciate this link also.  It is less dense and more easy on the eyes than the Harvard Study.
