Highest Potential SFR Returns in Baltimore, Macon, Vineland, Rockford, Detroit; Rental Returns Increase from a Year-Ago in 5 7 Percent of Counties Analyzed
IRVINE, Calif. – March 14, 2019 — ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation’s premier property database, today released its Q1 2019 Single Family Rental Market report, which ranks the best U.S. markets for buying single family rental properties in 2019.
The report analyzed single family rental returns in 432 U.S. counties each with a population of at least 100,000 and sufficient rental and home price data. Rental data was from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and home price data was from publicly recorded sales deed data collected and licensed by ATTOM Data Solutions (see full methodology below).

The average annual gross rental yield (annualized gross rent income divided by median purchase price of single-family homes) among the 432 counties was 8.8 percent for 2019, up from an average of 8.7 percent in 2018.
“Buying single-family homes to rent them out is a better deal for investors so far this year, than it was at the same time in 2018, as profit margins are rising in a majority of counties across the United States,” said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM Data Solutions. “Last year, at this time, investors were seeing returns drop in three-quarters of the counties that were analyzed. So far this year, those margins are up in six out of every 10 counties analyzed. But despite the generally rosier picture, profits vary widely and investing in the single-family home rental market is not always a great move. The typical bottom-line gain from county to county this year has ranged from as high as 29 percent to as little as 3 percent.”
