Single-Family Home

Single family rental investing with Picket: Quick start guide

Definition:

A Single-Family Home is a standalone residential property designed to house one family. These homes typically sit on their own lot, have private yards, and are not attached to any other structures. Single-family homes are the most common type of residential real estate in many parts of the world and are often the focus of both homebuyers and real estate investors.

🔍 Did You Know?
In some markets, single-family homes are considered the most stable investment option because of their broad appeal and steady demand.

Examples:

Example 1:
A couple purchases a single-family home in a suburban neighborhood. The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large backyard, making it ideal for their growing family.

Example 2:
A real estate investor buys a single-family home as a rental property, charging tenants $2,500 per month. Over time, the home appreciates in value, adding to the investor’s equity.

Why It’s Important:

Single-family homes are attractive to both homeowners and investors due to their simplicity and potential for appreciation. They are often easier to finance, maintain, and resell compared to multi-family or commercial properties.

Who Should Care:

  • Homebuyers seeking a private residence.
  • Real estate investors interested in stable, easy-to-manage rental properties.
  • Lenders providing mortgages for residential properties.
