Multifamily real estate will thrive extremely
The single-family home market has been growing in the past year. However, multi-family homes will be more lucrative as we move further. People who would opt to rent will have more finances and will be moving away from the economy we are seeing now with this pandemic going on. Vacancy levels will be low and there is a projected 6% increase in net rentals for next year which makes multi-family homes a great investment.

People will become more anxious to travel after a long period of being ordered to stay at home. To experience a change of environment, vacation rentals will be a popular choice. It is projected that home rentals for vacation in the US is set to exceed $88 billion in 2023. Millennials are seen to boost this trend as they seek rural bookings instead of going to urban areas.
Real estate prices and rents will increase continuously

Moreover, even as the economy improves after this pandemic, interests will still remain low with eager buyers entering the market. In return, prices will steadily increase.
