Institutional ownership of single-family homes has been a controversial topic over the past year. Investors purchased a record-high number of rental properties while many would-be homeowners were priced out of the market.

The largest owner of this asset class in the U.S. is Invitation Homes Inc. (NYSE: INVH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) with a portfolio of about 83,000 single-family rental homes as of the end of the first quarter this year.

The company’s portfolio is mainly made up of homes in the Western U.S. and sunbelt states, where the barriers to homeownership are highest and rent demand is strong. The average monthly rent for the entire portfolio during the second quarter was $2,124, with the highest average rent being in Southern California at $2,779 per month.

The majority of the homes are three or four bedrooms, with some having as many as six bedrooms. Assuming comfortable occupancy at an average of 4.5 people per home, Invitation Homes could easily supply housing for the entire country of Iceland, which currently has a population of 373,059.

Invitation Homes released its second quarter 2022 earnings on July 27, 2022. The company’s portfolio grew by 772 homes during the quarter and year over year total revenues increased 13.4% to $557 million.

While the short-term outlook on the residential real estate market is questionable in many peoples’ eyes, the long-term outlook remains positive since the U.S. still has a housing shortage that could potentially take decades to correct.

Latest Private Market Insights:

Arrived Homes expanded its offerings to include shares in short-term rental properties with a minimum investment of $100. The platform has already funded over 150 single-family rentals valued at over $55 million.

The Flagship Real Estate Fund through Fundrise is up 7.3% year to date and has just added a new rental home community in Charleston, SC to its portfolio.

‘Stranger Things’ house is up for sale, billed as a perfect candidate for an Airbnb — but it needs a lot of TLC

Talk about a truly strange real-estate listing: You can now buy the home featured in the hit Netflix series “Stranger Things” for $300,000. The property, which sits on six acres of land, is located in Fayetteville, Ga. — so not quite the Indiana setting depicted in the show. It’s also in need of some serious TLC: The listing from Michael Smith of Mission Group Realtors says the house needs a “full rehab.”

FedEx grilled on cost-cut plan after profits slide

(Reuters) -FedEx Corp outlined cost cuts of up to $2.7 billion after falling demand hammered first-quarter profits, but analysts grilled company executives with questions in an earnings call about whether steps such as parking planes and shuttering some offices were too little too late. The company reported that earnings per share fell 21.3% for the quarter ended Aug. 31, in line with the warning it delivered last week. Analysts and investors were skeptical – in large part because revenue increased 5.5%.

Sorry, Nintendo, Everyone’s Having A Hard Time Remembering It’s Tears Of The Kingdom, Not BOTW 2

Nintendo, ever the iconoclasts, chose the most recent Nintendo Direct to announce not the GameCube Zelda remakes we’re certain they’ve already finished, nor any information about the upcoming Mario movie, but instead to surprise-reveal the official title of Breath of the Wild 2 . It was The Legend Of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Except, no, sorry about this, we’re never going to be able to get out of the habit of calling it Breath of the Wild 2.
