GEN-RENT the growing generation of 2 round renters!
I am seeing the trend grow considerably here in northern Idaho and eastern Washington. The trend of which I speak is a generation of 2nd round renters.
Just about everybody has rented a home or apartment at some time in their life. The typical progression for many is to get established ... family, job and home!
It is now evident more than ever that there is a growing generation of 2nd time renters. These are folks that have lost their homes to foreclosure or shortsale. They are accustomed to living in a home and a neighborhood and averse to returning to an apartment situation.
If it is not already being used I'd like to coin a phrase - GEN RENT ( a generation of renters).
