Why institutional investors are targeting build-to-rent single-family homes, says Mill Creek’s David Reynolds
by Andrea Zander
The build-to-rent single-family rental (BTR-SFR) sector is gaining momentum among institutional investors, driven by strong fundamentals such as housing affordability challenges, shifting demographics, migration to lower-density markets and limited existing institutional presence, says David Reynolds, president, investment management, for Mill Creek Residential, in an interview. He explains the appeal to both millennials and baby boomers, as well as its advantages in property management and standardization. Reynolds sees the BTR-SFR sector as a strategic investment opportunity that meets evolving renter preferences and fills a critical gap in the housing market.
