DELEGATE INSIGHTS

The 10th Annual Build-To-Rent, Land & Homebuilding Forum (West)

“Current interest rates and associated cost of leveraged capital are going to cause a gap in new BTR community supply in an already under-supplied asset class. Developers who are able to finance new assets with less leverage and add supply over the next few years will be in a great position to maximize their investment when the market becomes more predictable again.”

- Chad Durham, Vice President, Build-to-Rent, David Weekley Homes
