Marcus Hiles – Western Rim’s Founder – Discusses the Growing Interest in Renting Nationwide
FORT WORTH, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Charity–According to Marcus
Hiles, property expert and investor, offering affordable luxury to
working class Texans is an imperative to keep up with demand in today’s
fast paced economy. Despite ever-fluctuating trends in the U.S. housing
market, one constant remains: more and more people are renting every
year. Hiles discusses the changes in attitudes and demographics that
have led to the continuing increase in rentership throughout the U.S.
Marcus
Hiles sees large-scale, generational shifts as important reasons for
moving away from ownership more towards renting, including the
skyrocketing cost of a college education and its subsequent impact on
personal debt; most millennials allocate 10 percent of their income to
paying off student loans. Other age groups are also driving up numbers:
generation X-ers remain renters longer, pushing up rates for 30–49 year
olds. Another cause lies in the transformation of traditional
lifestyles. Being single and increasingly mobile means that the younger
generation is farther from starting a family, and less inclined to
pursue home ownership.
Real estate expert, Marcus
Hiles, says that renting is a practical option for those not
financially ready to purchase a home. “In Houston, just 41 percent of
the population rented in 1970, but despite changes in wealth and
employment, that number hit 54 percent by 2013,” notes Hiles. “The idea
that owning your home is the ultimate American Dream is being turned
inside out.”
