While demographic and economic headwinds present long-term challenges for multifamily markets in the Great Lakes region, they haven’t been a deterrent when it comes to recent performance levels. In fact, the slow-yet-steady nature of this regional set of markets has pulled in some recent investment interest.
That’s especially true for specific investment thesis and investor personas. The availability of more affordable housing options and college town settings — not to mention the general lack of supply headwinds — provide a differentiated avenue for industry professionals who prefer working outside of the nation’s gateway markets.
