The results reveal there is approximately US$1.16 trillion of capital targeting property investment in 2016—an increase of 3 per cent from 2015 levels in local currency terms.

Created by investors for investors, Roofstock is a new, more efficient way to buy and sell investment properties. For sellers, properties can be sold without having to wait until tenants move out, avoiding the lost income while marketing a vacant home and the significant selling costs associated with traditional channels.

That rent increase is significantly higher compared to the rate of inflation over the same period.
