What is a single family rental?

A Single Family Rental (SFR) is a standalone residential property, such as a house, that is leased to tenants rather than owner-occupied. These properties are typically designed for one family and include amenities like private yards and garages. SFRs are popular among both renters seeking more space and privacy, and investors looking for stable rental income. The single-family rental market has grown significantly in recent years, with both individual and institutional investors participating.
