Walker & Dunlop Releases Proprietary Data and Insights on Build-for-Rent Housing Market in Latest Whitepaper

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has released one of the most comprehensive Build-For Rent (BFR) reports to date. BFR has become one of the strongest asset classes in commercial real estate, presenting many opportunities to lenders, builders, and developers. As with any new product, this rapidly growing market segment has drawn both enthusiasm and misconceptions.

The second edition of the BFR Whitepaper is backed by the latest data from Zelman & Associates, the leading housing research firm in the country. In this report, we provide a wide-ranging analysis of the increasingly popular sub-asset class of single-family rental (SFR), explain the nuances of this type of development, and address some common myths. The report includes:

• Case studies providing real-world examples of how these transactions are getting done, including a $200 million programmatic joint venture and a $51 million capital stack for a BFR acquisition
• Up-to-date data on collections, occupancy, and rent growth 
• Insights on construction dynamics within the BFR space
• A discussion of financing options available for this asset class, including terms we're seeing from the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, banks, debt funds, bridge lending programs, and more
