As home prices rise,
there are fewer bargains in single family homes, but not fewer
investors. Their ranks and property portfolios continue to grow. Last
month Five Ten Capital, a Piedmont, California-based asset manager,
inked a one hundred million dollar deal with Deutsche Bank to open a new fund to buy and manage single family rental homes, expanding Five Ten's range to Texas and Missouri.
"Obviously, home prices are up, so did you miss an opportunity? Yes, you'd have been better off buying a year ago than today, but we think for the most part we are in the third inning of this housing recovery," said Rob Bloemker, Five Ten's CEO.
Unlike the "flippers" of the last decade,
today's investors in single family homes have a longer-term strategy.
They buy largely with cash and seem intent on growing their portfolios,
rather than recycling them. While some credit these bulk buyers with
saving the housing market, they seem uneasy with that characterization."Obviously, home prices are up, so did you miss an opportunity? Yes, you'd have been better off buying a year ago than today, but we think for the most part we are in the third inning of this housing recovery," said Rob Bloemker, Five Ten's CEO.
