Minor in Property Management
According to the National Apartment Association, there will be an increase of 1.8 million renter households over the next decade because of immigration, “echo boomers” (children of baby boomers reaching their 20s and joining the work force), and “baby boomers” electing to downsize into multi-housing developments, especially age-55-and-over communities.
