Why You Should Buy Rental Property in 2023

Mary the Home, Date the Rate

According to Bankrate, people refinance their homes every 5-7 years on average. Even if the home was bought with a competitive rate for the time, these figures are constantly adjusting. This allows homeowners to always be rate shopping.

For this reason, finding the home of your dreams and securing it should be the first priority. The opportunity to rework your financing will always be there.

The Housing Market

Industry pundits predict that rates will come down by the 3rd or 4th quarter of this fiscal year. Waiting for this time can complicate the buying process for the investor.

Because financial literacy is more available than ever, more and more people invest in real estate every day. This means the availability of homes is getting increasingly scarce. MBS Highway just released their report on home attainability. Here’s a breakdown:

Normal markets should see an average of 4.6 months supply of inventory, currently the real estate market is showing only 2.9 months of supply; when only discussing active listings the supply decreases to a low of 1.9 months of inventory. The number of available units nationwide is 980K; when only discussing active listings, there are only 626k available homes. To reference, there was an average of 4M homes available in 2007.

What does this mean for you? The time to buy is now; as there is a big disparity in inventory to active investors. Plainly put, get in while you can.

Rental Demand is Increasing

With easily accessed technology like Airbnb and VRBO, both short- and long-term rental rates are increasing at a miraculous speed. This can be tracked with vacancy rates, and trends show this is steadily decreasing. The US Census Bureau reports that in the United States, the overall rental vacancy rate was 6.9% in the first quarter of 2021, down from 7.3% in the same quarter of 2020. This indicates that rental demand is increasing.

The market dictates rates, not the Government. Meaning rental rates rise with demand, which is skyrocketing. Real Estate Witch reports that rent prices are increasing 4 times the rate of earned income.

Even with a volatile market, real estate investors who do their due diligence are seeing high returns on their investments.
