Commentary Multifamily and Single-Family Rentals to Continue Outpacing the Rest of the U.S Commentary Multifamily and Single-Family Rentals to Continue Outpacing the Rest of the U.S. Housing Market DBRS Morningstar DBRS Morningstar Perspective June 14, 2021 As the U.S. economy rebounds from the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, DBRS Morningstar expects multifamily and single-family rentals to remain the fastest growing segment of the U.S. housing Contents market.

In addition to affordability, slowing household formation is a drag on homeownership. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of households increased by roughly 10%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But household growth rates declined during the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009 and the slow economic recovery that followed. Between 2010 and 2017, the number of households increased by only approximately 6%. The Census Bureau data suggests that the pandemic hammered household formation in 2020, following a brief spike in 2018 and a tick down in 2019. Household formation in the U.S. dropped to 128 million in 2020, after averaging a 1.1 million increase per year in the previous decade.

Page 3 of 13 Multifamily and Single-Family Rentals to Continue Outpacing the Rest of the U.S. Housing Market | June 14, 2021 The number of single-family rentals in the U.S. increased by 27% from 2004 to 2019 (the latest available), according to Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies (JCHS) tabulations of U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey One-Year Estimates. Multifamily inventory climbed 22.9% from 2004 to 2019. Further, the Census Bureau reported there were 402,000 multifamily housing units started in the United States in 2019, which was a 20-year peak for the nation and an increase of almost 30,000 over the previous year. The continued expansion of both single-family and multifamily rentals comes as the homeownership rate stands well below its peak, hampered by the rising cost of homes, particularly for first-time homebuyers. The precipitous drop in rental growth rate in 2020 reflects the effects of the coronavirus pandemic and mortgage rates falling to historical lows. But signs of a recovery in rental growth are on the horizon. Expected job growth as the pandemic wanes will fuel household formations and propensity for rent given the lack of affordability for first-time homebuyers.

Page 4 of 13 Multifamily and Single-Family Rentals to Continue Outpacing the Rest of the U.S. Housing Market | June 14, 2021 Rental Demographics: Rising Inventory and Grayer Occupants As shown in Exhibit 4, the U.S. housing inventory has risen 21.1% to approximately 140.8 million units in 2020 from about 116.3 million units in 2000. In 2020, renters resided in 33.4% of the occupied housing inventory, down from a 20-year high of 36.6% in 2016.

However, the total single-family and multifamily rental inventory has risen faster than the overall U.S. housing inventory, up 23.5% to approximately 44.9 million units in 2020 from about 36.3 million units in 2000. Another sign of the strong demand for rental units, nationwide vacancy for all rental units has dropped to a 20-year low of 6.4% in 2020, down from a high of 10.8% in 2009. The demographics of today’s rental tenants look surprisingly different than rental tenants in 2000. As shown in Exhibit 6 below, the older cohorts (55 to 64 years and 65 years and older) make up a much larger proportion of the total rental tenants in 2020 than they did in 2000. The 55 to 64 years old cohort increased to 13.3% of all rental tenants today from 8.0% in 2000, and the 65 years and older cohort increased to 16.1% today from 12.4% in 2000. Exhibit 6 below also shows the younger cohorts (less than 35 years and 35 to 44 years) make up a smaller proportion of the total renter tenants in 2020 than they did in 2000. The less than 35 years old cohort dropped to 36.9% of all rental tenants today from 42.8% in 2000, and the 35 to 44 years old cohort dropped 19.1% today from 22.7% in 2000.

The larger proportion of older cohorts making up today’s pool of rental tenants is even more interesting when looking at the population growth of the cohorts from 2000 through 2020, as shown in Exhibit 7 below. While the total number of rental tenants increased 26.0% during that time, the 55 to 64 years old cohort rose the fastest (109.1%) followed by the 65 years and older cohort (63.8%). The slowest growing age cohorts were 35 to 44 years old (6.2%) and less than 35 years old (8.6%).

  • Single-Family Securitized Financing: a Blueprint for the Future? Laurie Goodman
    Single-Family Securitized Financing: A Blueprint for the Future? Laurie Goodman Abstract In November 2013, Invitation Homes LP, the Blackstone Document date: January 17, 2014 subsidiary that is the largest of the REO-to-rental Released online: January 17, 2014 operations, completed the first securitized financing of REO-to-rental properties (Invitation Homes 2013-SFR1). The private placement was very well received by the market, producing more favorable terms than many had anticipated. In this short article, we walk through why the deal was done, how it was structured, and what the financing means for the market. In November 2013, Invitation Homes LP, the Blackstone subsidiary that is the largest of the REO-to-rental operations, completed the first securitized financing of REO-to-rental properties (Invitation Homes 2013-SFR1). The private placement was very well received by the market, producing more favorable terms than many had anticipated. In this short article, we walk through why the deal was done, how it was structured, and what the financing means for the market. Motivation for the Deal The first question many people have is why this securitization was done. The answer is straightforward: Invitation Homes owns and manages approximately 39,000 scattered-site single-family rental homes, and property managers can generate a higher return for their equity investors if they use leverage. With home prices up nationwide by 22 percent from their 2011 low, and up even more where REO-to-rental investors are active, moderate leverage is needed to attract new money to the space and to keep returns attractive to current equity investors.

  • U.S. Single Family Rental— Institutional Activity in 2016/2017
    AMHERST CAPITAL MARKET UPDATE | AUGUST 2017 U.S. Single Family Rental— Institutional Activity in 2016/2017 INTRODUCTION Our November 2016 white paper, “U.S. Single Family Rental—An Emerging Institutional Asset Class*,” examined single family rentals (“SFR”) as an institution-owned, long-term commercial real estate (“CRE”) asset. It broadly discussed the U.S. housing market and single family rentals, and examined drivers behind the growth of single family rentals, and in particular, institutional SFR. This paper updates that analysis, and takes a closer look at more recent (2016–2017) activity in the institutional SFR space. 444 Madison Avenue 19th Floor New York, NY 10022 www.amherstcapital.com AMHERST CAPITAL MARKET UPDATE U.S. Single Family Rental—Institutional Activity in 2016/2017 page The update is split into 2 broad sections: 3–18 SECTION I—Institutional SFR Activity in 2016/2017 Summarizes institutional SFR activity in 2016—how much they are buying, and where and how it looks different from prior years. We also summarize the consolidation activity taking place in the institutional SFR space. 19–26 SECTION II—Update to Financial Markets Landscape for SFR Discusses the financial market landscape for SFR. In particular, we look at implied cap rates for SFR using share prices of publicly traded REITs, and provide an update on private label securitizations, including secondary market activity. We also dive deep into the first government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”)- backed SFR loan, its subsequent securitization, and what that might potentially mean for the market. OUR FINDINGS SUPPORT THE CONCLUSIONS FROM THE NOVEMBER 2016 WHITE PAPER*: • Cap rates in single family rentals remain attractive.

  • Rethink Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's Backing of Private Equity
    2017 NCRC Policy Agenda INVEST LOCAL ISSUE: Rethink Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s Backing of Private Equity Investors in the Single Family Rental Market In January, Fannie Mae agreed to back a 10-year, $1 billion loan to Invitation Homes (IH), the country’s largest owner of single-family rental homes and a division of the private equity firm The Blackstone Group L.P. This marks the first time that either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac has guaranteed the debt of an institutional owner of single-family rental housing.36 The number of single-family rental units increased 35 percent from 2006 to 2016,37 as Blackstone and other large institutional investors bought up hundreds of thousands of foreclosed single-family properties at rock-bottom prices and converted them to rentals. U.S. homeownership has also fallen to a 50-year low since the housing crisis amid strict lending standards, mounting student debt, and would-be buyers’ savings and credit diminishing during the recession. Even as millennials and first-time homebuyers now enter the market, they are having difficulty finding affordable houses to buy.38 IH homes are in the segment of single-family market suffering some of the tightest housing supply. The share of new homes 1,800 square feet or less (the typical size of entry-level homes) has fallen from an average of 34 percent of new single-family housing supply in 1999-2004 (prior to the housing downturn) to 21 percent in 2015, a nearly 40 percent decline (see Figure 8).39 IH single-family rentals average approximately 1,850 square feet and their portfolio of homes are in 13 desirable markets concentrated in the Western U.S and Florida.40 IH and other institutional buyers of single-family homes compete with homebuyers seeking affordable homes to purchase.
