Invitation Homes Inc. (NYSE: INVH) (“Invitation Homes” or the “Company”), the nation’s premier single-family home leasing and management company, announced its acquisition of ResiBuilt Homes, LLC (“ResiBuilt”), a leading build-to-rent (“BTR”) developer in high-growth markets across the Southeast. The acquisition strengthens Invitation Homes’ ability to deliver thoughtfully designed communities that meet the needs of today’s families. By increasing housing supply through new construction and leveraging capital-light partnerships, the Company aims to help address the nation’s growing demand for attainable, high-quality housing. Invitation Homes acquired ResiBuilt for a contract price of $89 million plus up to $7.5 million in potential incentive-based earn-out payments tied to third-party fee-build performance.
Headquartered in Atlanta, ResiBuilt develops single-family communities in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas. Since its founding in 2018, ResiBuilt has delivered more than 4,200 homes and earned a reputation for quality construction, operational efficiency, and a resident-focused approach to community design. ResiBuilt’s team of approximately 70 associates, including Co-founder and President Jay Byce, have joined Invitation Homes and will continue operating under the ResiBuilt brand.
The transaction included 23 existing fee-building contracts along with a pipeline of additional third-party fee opportunities not yet under contract. As a result, the transaction is expected to be modestly accretive to the Company’s 2026 AFFO per share. While no land was included in the transaction, Invitation Homes secured options to acquire approximately 1,500 well-located lots, providing optionality for future purchases.
“At our Investor Day in November 2025, we shared our long-term vision to create value through a dynamic BTR growth strategy that combines construction lending and development,” said Dallas Tanner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Invitation Homes. “Today’s announcement reflects months of thoughtful planning to advance that vision, and our acquisition of ResiBuilt is a key step forward. ResiBuilt’s best-in-class development expertise enhances our execution capabilities and expands our capacity to address one of the nation’s most pressing challenges: housing affordability. By adding supply in desirable markets and creating communities that families are proud to call home, we believe we can make a meaningful impact. We are excited to work with the ResiBuilt team to achieve these goals.”
“Joining Invitation Homes is an exciting opportunity for our team and our business,” said Byce. “We’ve spent years building a best-in-class operation focused on delivering quality homes for the single-family rental market. Becoming part of Invitation Homes allows us to build on that foundation and broaden our reach to better serve families seeking quality rental homes.”
ResiBuilt’s original parent company, RESICAP, will remain independent following the transaction. RESICAP will continue to operate in its existing BTR and single-family rental joint ventures, property management, land entitlement/development, maintenance, and renovation verticals, but will be restricted from competing with ResiBuilt in ground-up BTR construction.
“We’re proud of what we’ve built with ResiBuilt and look forward to seeing it grow as part of Invitation Homes,” said RESICAP Chief Executive Officer Andy Capps. “As ResiBuilt begins this next chapter, RESICAP will continue operating as a separate business that is committed to our long-standing mission: delivering high-quality housing solutions and operational services across the SFR and BTR landscape.”
Jones Day served as the Company’s legal counsel, and Alston & Bird and Zelman served as legal and financial advisors, respectively, to RESICAP.
