the single-family rental homes owned mostly by small-to-mid-sized investors has increased by just over 3% this year, according to data from Corelogic. So perhaps one of the reasons real estate investors tend to be optimists can be found in the old saying that a savvy investor can find opportunities in any kind of market. We’re probably seeing that play out in real time today—and it’s a positive trend likely to continue in 2025.
