Recently in the U.S. housing market, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of renters versus the number of homeowners. This large economic paradigm shift brings with it plenty of incredible opportunities in the multi-family housing sector, but with that growth comes a healthy (or worrisome, depending on how you look at it) amount of competition. One of the ways developers distinguish themselves from others is through the amenities they offer – what creature comforts they can extend to their tenants.
The question that needs to be asked in light of this information is: which amenities do renters value the most? The importance of knowing a client’s exact needs cannot be understated and, honestly, almost doesn’t need pointing out. It’s an incredibly important part of any successful business plan, he who appeals to the client correctly is well set on the path to success.
