Which cities have the fastest growing rental markets? (homes, buying)

[Psykomonkee]

It's evident that with the rise of the Millennials that people striving to buy a home to live in is on a decline and people looking to rent is increasing. But I'm curious which 10-20 cities appear to be making this transition fastest compared to other cities their size.

Does anyone know?

If I had to guess, here would be my guess:

1. Washington DC
2. Atlanta
3. Phoenix
4. Denver
5. Seattle
6. Portland
7. Chicago
8. Los Angeles
9. Boston
10. Miami

Forbes is known for heavily skewing data. As a business schmoozer, they're paid well to glamorize certain cities and areas, and downplay others. $ talks. They also know how desperate and eager people are to relocate, and how easily people believe what they say/indicate.

I've gotten burned following Forbes' "advice", and have learned to avoid their data.
