For folks that aren’t familiar with Real Estate Syndications, it involves multiple investors pooling their capital together to purchase no-hassle, hands-off investment properties that deliver passive income and appreciation to the investor.
Because the success of a value-add real estate syndication is largely driven by the sponsor's ability to increase the rental rates, it is important to understand what renters value when deciding on an apartment. With that in mind, let’s review the critical takeaways from the 2022 Renter Preferences Survey Report, which gathered input from over 221,000 renters, living in 4,564 communities nationwide across 79 markets:

Because of this 35% indicated an interest in their apartment community offering shared workspace
