The Overlooked “Upside” That Will Make Future Landlords Rich

Your rental properties are about to make even more money. There’s one often overlooked real estate investing “upside” that, over time, makes rental property investors and landlords rich without any extra effort. This is one upside that Dave is exceptionally bullish on and is one of the most compelling cases for rental property investing. It’s not home price growth, it’s not tax benefits, and it’s not zoning changes—it’s simple: rent price growth. Rent has steadily grown throughout the history of the housing market and shot up at an extreme pace during 2020 - 2022. Now, the pendulum is swinging in the other direction as rents soften and tons of supply hit the market. But how far are we from going back to the days of solid rent growth? And with the new housing supply already starting to be absorbed, could we get to above-average rent growth again? We brought Chris Salviati from Apartment List on the show to share his team’s rent research.  Over time, your rental income will rise significantly while your mortgage payment stays the same, boosting your profits. So, where are rents poised to grow the most? Will we ever experience 2021-level rent growth again? And will 2025 be the year strong nationwide rent growth returns? We’re breaking it all down today so you know exactly where rents are headed next! In This Episode We Cover: Why “rent growth” is one of the most underrated “upsides” of real estate investing The 2020-2022 rent price explosion explained and why rents skyrocketed  What has been keeping rent growth suppressed for the past few years  Markets with rent declines that could quickly reverse (significant buying opportunities) The property classes (A/B/C/D) experiencing the most rental demand (it’s NOT the nicest ones!)
