Walker & Dunlop has forecasted that single-family rental growth will outpace all other asset classes by 2022. The SFR market was traditionally dominated by small scale investors but with the weight of the global pandemic, new migration patterns have been thrown into the mix. Walker & Dunlop estimates the SFR market to be valued at around $3.4 trillion—a staggering number, to be sure, when compared to the entire multifamily market, which is estimated at $3.5 trillion.
