Introduction

Over the past several decades, the residential rental sector has grown from relative obscurity to become one of the largest and most important institutional investment asset classes. The sector offers a wide range of investment options, including:

  • Housing formats – from class-A high-rise apartment to manufactured housing communities, and everything in-between.
  • Geographies – institutional residential investors are now active in over 50 cities across the U.S.
