Research Applications of the Multifamily Housing Institute's Apartment Database

Research Applications of the Multifamily Housing Institute's Apartment Database Data on the financial performance of multifamily rental housing has not been available nearly as long as such information for single-family housing. It is believed that this lack of information has increased the cost of debt and equity capital to apartment housing and thus has increased the rents paid by apartment residents.

This article has several objectives: to describe this new database. AptDataTM, to housing researchers to assess the strengths and weaknesses of AptDataTMfor housing market and policy research, to compare estimates from AptDataTMwith those from other sources, and to offer several potential research applications of this new data resource. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Real Estate Literature Taylor & Francis
