Rent, Build, Repeat: Why Build-to-Rent is the Future of Housing | Jake & Gino Podcast

Welcome back to the Jake & Gino Podcast. Today, we're diving deep into the Build-to-Rent (BTR) revolution with real estate powerhouse Richard Ross, CEO of Quinn Residences. With over 40 years in real estate, Richard has seen it all, but his latest venture into purpose-built rental communities is changing the game.

In this episode, we cover:

• The evolution of Build-to-Rent communities
• Why renters prefer purpose-built homes over apartments
• Investor opportunities and risks in the BTR space
• How technology and smart homes are shaping the rental market
• The impact of land prices, interest rates, and construction costs
