Rental Housing: Opportunities for Private Invesment
The Federal Housing Administration’s rental housing program aims to encourage the development of housing that is designed, constructed, and financed to be affordable for a significant portion of renting families in the community—specifically, wage-earning and low-salaried families. This approach is based on the principle that successful production in any sector, including housing, should align with the demands of the widest market possible.
An analysis of numerous rental housing proposals submitted to the Federal Housing Administration reveals that when projects are targeted at restricted or highly competitive markets, they often need to provide amenities and luxuries that would not be necessary if they were priced lower. The costs associated with producing high-rental buildings, along with the specialized management services and facilities required by tenants in higher income brackets, create significant investment risks. Additionally, as rental prices increase, the market becomes narrower, and the buildings may quickly become outdated due to changing trends.
In contrast, basic family needs remain stable over time and can be met at a much lower cost compared to the demands of the small segment of tenants who can afford high rents. Therefore, the greatest demand for rental housing exists within the lower price ranges, an area where private enterprise can operate successfully and profitably.
This booklet summarizes conclusions drawn from over four years of experience in rental housing and serves as a guide for those interested in investing in low-rental housing.
