    How Single-Family Rental Market Size and Growth are Measured

    Authored By: Albert L. Lord III
    Founder & CEO of Lexerd Capital Management

    It’s not easy to judge the potential growth of single-market rentals because there’s no central clearinghouse collecting these statistics. However, data that is collected can be used to measure trends. This includes:

    • Census data on the number of rental units purchased
    • Mortgage origination activity from FreddieMac and FannieMae for single-family rentals
    • Mortgage volumes serve as proxies for single-family rental values
    • CoreLogic county records, which provide insights on local/county taxes and, indirectly, property valuations

    Analyzing these numbers, we can guess at the rate of growth and size of the market up ahead. But then what?
