In a world where homeownership is increasingly unaffordable, it's crucial to explore every facet of the real estate market, including the often overlooked role of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) and their rental restrictions.
Rental restrictions, commonly put in place by HOAs, often come with the goal of preserving the character of neighborhoods and maintaining property values. However, have we considered the flip side of this coin?
The recent trend of institutional investors buying properties for rent raises a crucial question: Is it possible that these rental restrictions are actually shrinking the buyer pool and potentially hurting property values?
On the surface, it may seem that these institutional investors, with their deep pockets and lack of personal connection to the communities, pose a threat to neighborhood character. Yet, data suggests that the fear of neighborhoods getting overrun by institutional investors might be overblown.
Furthermore, there's another layer to this issue. Are these rental restrictions, in fact, creating a disparate impact on certain groups? Recent changes to the Fair Housing Act make it more challenging to pursue disparate impact claims, potentially affecting minorities and lower-income individuals who rely on rental properties.
