A report released this week by CrowdStreet, a real estate investing marketplace, lists the best places to invest in 2022.

“We take all property types into account since the deals on our platform cover private real estate opportunities in all multifamily and commercial real estate sectors,” CrowdStreet’s chief investment officer, Ian Formigle, said in a statement.

“But to make the top 20, a market must consistently rank highly across multiple real estate classes.”

The report also breaks down the best places to invest in seven property sectors: multifamily, build-to-rent, industrial, office, hotel, retail and life sciences.

CrowdStreet’s investment team ranks markets based on 28 key indicators across the key dimensions of micro- and macroeconomic factors, geographic factors, market dynamics, quality-of-life measures and tax/regulatory factors.

No single market on the new list possessed all 28 of these attributes; some exhibited higher levels of certain attributes and lower levels of others. In addition, some attributes were more relevant to certain properties than others.

Highly rated school districts generally matter a lot to multifamily and build-to-rent, but little to industrial real estate, for instance.

And certain attributes carried heavier weight in the analysis than others — high population growth and job rates over entertainment amenities, for example.

13. Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale enters CrowdStreet’s list for the first time. Both companies and consumers are drawn to the city, thanks to the area’s proximity to Miami and its relative affordability. As home to the third busiest cruise port in the world, Port Everglades, strong investment opportunities can be expected in the hotel sector as tourism resumes in 2022.

12. Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida

The Tampa–St. Petersburg metro area’s retail industry is outpacing the U.S. in pandemic recovery. Retail sales through 2025 are expected to grow faster than the market average here, owing in part to an older demographic. The metro area has also seen retail rent growth for seven consecutive years.

7. Miami

Miami, which jumped nine spots from the 2021 listing, was named the No. 1 U.S. metro area for migration by Redfin. But finance and tech executives are bringing their businesses to the area, as well. The increased population growth paired with high-priced real estate has fueled demand for multifamily housing, with rent growth at some of the highest levels in the country.

The Miami metropolitan area has been ranked No. 7 for best cities to invest in real estate, according to Think Advisor. Fort Lauderdale ranks 13th on the list of 8 U.S. metro areas that were analyzed by the publication and both Florida locations are expected to grow at a high rate over the next five years due to their excellent job prospects, low home prices (compared with other expensive markets), and abundant cultural amenities like beaches and parks. With these factors in mind it’s not surprising that more people want to live there! What do you love about living in Miami or South Florida?
