Is Build-to-Rent the Future?

U.S. housing faces affordability challenges, limited supply, fluctuating interest rates, and evolving investor regulations in 2026.

President Trump’s 2026 Executive Order restricts large institutional investment in scattered-site single-family rentals (SFR).

Build-to-Rent (BTR) offers investors a scalable alternative while increasing overall housing supply in 2026.

BTR investment strategies include partnering with builders, acquiring completed communities, and financing new home construction.

BTR is forecasted to dominate single-family rental investment, combining operational efficiency with strong renter demand.
