Single-Family Rentals

Of the 137.2MM Housing Units in the United States, 15MM are Detached Single-Family Rentals

RCLCO has been engaged with the single-family rental industry for the past decade, first working with aggregators of foreclosed single-family properties following the great financial crisis, then shortly thereafter advising some of the early pioneers of build-for-rent or build-to-rent (BFR/BTR) communities. Our experience in the space is both broad and deep in terms of:

  • Client types (developers, builders, investors/capital, operators, etc.);
  • Geographic diversity; and
  • Level of engagement, which ranges from strategic planning work for entities wishing to enter the space, to site specific market analyses.

Of the ~15M single-family rental units, approximately 2% are institutionally-owned, and RCLCO’s experience covers the spectrum of the institutionally-owned, single-family rental landscape, including:

  • SF rental scattered site portfolios: collections of scattered site homes that are operated under a single operating platform
  • Build-to-rent or Build-for-rent (BTR/BFR) Communities:  purpose-built single-family rental communities that are self-contained developments sometimes featuring dedicated amenities as well as on- or off-site management

Within the BTR/BFR space, we work across an array of product types, including:

  • Horizontal multifamily
  • Single-family attached (such as townhomes, duplexes, etc.)
  • Single-family detached
  • Hybrid models
