Who is investing in private renting and why are they doing it? Experience from Denmark

Description

The private rented sector varies much in size and character between European countries. Several studies from different countries have shown that investors in the sector are a very inhomogeneous group with many different motives for buying and letting out residential property. This paper reports the result of a Danish study on private landlords: their background and financial situation, their motives for buying and selling property, their business strategies and the economic outcome of their business.
