American Homes 4 Rent (AH4R) is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in investing in and managing single-family rental homes. As of March 2023, the company owns and manages over 63,000 single-family rental homes in 22 states across the U.S.
Single-family rentals have become increasingly popular in recent years as more people seek flexibility, space, and privacy. AH4R benefits from this growing demand by providing quality rental homes in markets with strong job growth and population growth. One key historical development for AH4R was its acquisition of Colony Starwood Homes in 2021, which significantly expanded its portfolio and made it the largest owner of single-family rental homes in the U.S.
