The only place to understand today’s market—and prepare for tomorrow

Why now, more than ever

The single family rental market is shifting fast—tight inventory, rising capital costs and an evolving regulatory environment are reshaping strategies across the sector.

The White House’s recent announcement targeting large institutional investor participation is casting uncertainty over the market as few details have been provided as to the scope of the restrictions.

In times of uncertainty, clarity is everything.

SFR East is the place to meet with your peers, unpack these developments and ascertain what this all means for your business.
