It's all about SFR and BTR in this episode, where rental housing economist Jay Parsons shares his Top 5 takeaways from the single-family REITs' recent earnings calls AND talks build-to-rent opportunities with the one of the nation's most prominent BTR players. Jay shares how the SFR market is seeing some overlapping themes with the apartment sector — including solid performances in Q1, low resident turnover and healthy rental financials. Jay also highlights the SFR REITs' continued pivot away from acquiring individual homes off the MLS and into new construction of rental homes. And in the interview portion of the podcast, Jay welcomes in Branden Lombardi, president of BB Living. Jay and Branden discuss the evolving landscape for BTR development opportunities, including a shift from the exurbs into more suburban infill opportunities. Additionally, Jay brings back recurring features like "In the News" and "Rental Housing Trivia."
