COVID-19 Creates Immediate Challenges, Long-Term Opportunities
COVID-19 has hit the U.S. economy in full force. Yet leasing and investment brokers are still reporting a high demand for single-family rentals (SFRs).
Chandan Economics estimates occupancy rates on transacted SFRs increased to 98.5% in the first quarter of 2020. As a niche sector, SFRs benefit from particularly strong tenant retention.

The analysis concludes that with appropriate underwriting standards and financially secure households, SFRs should see a future surge in demand.
