"Invitation Homes like some other institutional owners of single-family rentals hasn't been a big buyer of homes off the MLS for many years. Why "When we look at where homes are trading on the MLS from a yield on cost basis. it doesn't meet the hurdle rates we have." Instead Invitation (like many of its peers) continues to be a net seller of existing homes -- recycling that capital to build/buy new build-for-rent homes. Most Americans are still largely unaware that many (not all) of the biggest SFR players aren't competing for homes on the MLS -- and haven't been for a long time even"

"While I sympathize with the plight of small property owners in New York the reality is very few "large developers" or institutional investors want to buy their rent stabilized apartment buildings -- regardless of price. Why 1) High risk illiquid. 2) Most are too small"

"Nice reporting by Les Shaver @multifamilydive putting some clues together to suggest a merger between two of the biggest apartment property managers -- Asset Living and FPI. Among clues: 1) Job postings on FPI website link to Asset Living. 2) Layoff notice at FPI posted by Asset Living's head of HR. 3) Florida state website lists Asset Living's CEO as the CEO of FPI"

"@MGJohnson24 it's often more the opposite. for example Invitation Homes is selling in SoCal and building/buying across Sun Belt. Very little institutional presence in the most supply constrained markets for various reasons i.e. efficiencies of scale and return on capital"

""Accidental landlords" (homeowners unable to sell at desired price so they list it for rent instead) are an interesting group and Parcl showing their numbers are growing. I'm always curious: What is the profile/story of someone who'd do this Where are they moving How long are they planning to hold onto the home as a rental How much higher would prices have to be for them to have sold"
