Affordable
There are nearly 5 million federally assisted rental homes in the U.S. with nearly half supported by the LIHTC program and nearly 30% supported by the Section 8 program. Our multifamily professionals help navigate the management, valuation and dispositions of these properties at points of regulatory transition.
Co-Living
The rise in co-living was the result of an increased cost of living, lack of inventory, and a desire to live in premier cities. This form of communal living allows residents access to big city amenities, while creating a community within their building, with shared common areas and amenities. Globally, The House Monk found the co-living rental market accounted for a 75% increase in funding from 2018 to 2019, with countries dominating this industry being China, India, USA, and Europe. These statistics support the United Nation’s projection that communal housing could solve the global housing crisis, as 68% of people will live in cities by 2050.
