Why Multifamily – Renting vs Owning

Multifamily real estate benefits from secular tailwinds of a supply / demand imbalance.

Of the four primary commercial real estate (“CRE”) verticals: office, retail, industrial and multifamily, only multifamily has a secular supply /demand imbalance. Adding to the growing imbalance is the high cost of single-family home ownership, which pushes people and revenue towards rental properties.

At Forum, we are primarily focused on Multifamily Real Estate. We believe multifamily fundamentals remain strong, and that now is a prime time for investors to add multifamily to their investment strategy.
