In today’s environment, multifamily valuations on stabilized properties are still too high to generate enough cash flow for many investors. By contrast, ground up development economics make more sense. California still has a major shortage of housing for middle wage earners, so the state encourages Build-to-Rent developments of affordable properties.

These properties are in the California Inland Empire where demand for housing continues to outstrip supply.
