INVH

Invitation Homes Inc. (NYSE:INVH) is the nation's largest owner and operator of single-family rental homes, founded in 2012 and going public in 2017. The company emerged during the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis when institutional investors began purchasing distressed single-family homes to convert into rental properties. Today, Invitation Homes owns approximately 80,000 single-family rental homes across 16 markets in the United States, primarily concentrated in high-growth Sunbelt metropolitan areas. The company has evolved from an opportunistic buyer of foreclosed properties to a sophisticated real estate investment trust (REIT) that partners with homebuilders, provides third-party management services, and focuses on delivering institutional-quality rental housing to meet changing demographic demands.
