Lack of Inventory Not Stopping Multifamily Investors

The demand for multifamily assets continues to thrive in Texas. Marcus & Millichap’s VP of Investments, John Barker, says the only problem that he’s seeing nowadays is the lack of inventory; hungry investors are streaming into Texas and are liking the property prices and positive cash flow from day one of ownership. Rather than depending on appreciation, investors can invest in Texas and yield earnings from the start of their ownership.

The Barker Multifamily Group (pictured here) has recently closed 1,228 units, with another 1,000 units under contract. How long will the good times last? Not forever, of course.
