It’s no secret that the primary reason for being a corporate housing landlord continues to be the opportunity for long-term investment, with nearly half of all survey respondents (47%) saying they are a landlord so they can cash-in on long-term investment opportunities.
These stats may signify a few insights worth noting. For one, it may indicate that a large percentage of corporate housing landlords treat their investment property as a serious business, not as a side-hobby. And two, it signifies the continued interest in real estate as a sound, long-term investment strategy for those that do it right.
Here is a breakdown from the survey of why someone says they choose to be a corporate housing landlord:
- Investment property – Optimize revenue from a long-term investment property: 47%
- Can’t sell – Offset costs while waiting for the residential market to improve: 17%
- Vacation rental – Offset costs of owning a vacation home: 14%
