The economic landscape in early 2021 looks drastically different than what was seen just one year ago. Apartment demand varies widely from one market to another and many owners and operators are still cutting rents. At the same time, construction is still near the multi-decade highs and has resulted in many speculating how investors might deploy capital as we move ahead. As overall strategies have shifted, what is the near-term future likely to hold?
