WHO OWNS RENTALS?

Did you know that the majority of small rental units (defined as 1 – 4 units) in America are owned by individual investors?  Of the 48.2 million rental housing units in the United States, nearly 49% are located in rental properties of one to four units, according to the 2020 Rental Housing Finance Survey (RHFS) data released by HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau. For these small rental properties, nearly 73% (14.1 million) are owned by individual investors and more than one-third (7.9 million) have a mortgage or similar debt.  About 22% of small rental properties (1-4 units) are managed professionally while 94% of properties with 150 or more units are managed professionally.
