New Partnership Will Seek to Acquire 1,000+ Single-Family Rental Homes Per Year
Magnolia Capital has announced the formation of a new Joint Venture with Principal Real Estate Investors, the real estate investment team for Principal Global Investors, to pursue opportunities to acquire, renovate and operate single-family rental homes throughout the United States. Magnolia Capital’s single-family brand vertical, National Home Rentals (“NHR”), will pursue homes on behalf of the Joint Venture with the goal of acquiring 1,000+ homes per year and constructing a diversified, national portfolio within target markets that exhibit strong underlying supply and demand trends.
“Our vision for the single-family rental sector is consistent with our approach in multifamily—to embrace a data-driven, customer first approach that allows us to create a differentiated product for our residents and compelling results for our investors. We are thrilled to partner with Principal Real Estate Investors, a thoughtful investor that shares our conviction for this unique investment opportunity within the asset class,” said Max Peek, Founder, CEO & Managing Principal at Magnolia Capital.
Magnolia’s vertically integrated platform will leverage a combination of real estate track record and knowledge, with a hands-on, tech enabled approach to enhance oversight and accountability across the organization. NHR’s proprietary single-family technology platform streamlines the acquisitions process while providing a dedicated all-in-one property management software solution to minimize execution risk and deliver a superior resident experience.
“Our core mission has always been centered around providing our residents with best-in-class service and a seamless end-to-end leasing and living experience. We are eager to leverage our longstanding single-family rental operating expertise and innovative proprietary technology on behalf of the partnership with the exceptional team at Principal,” said Dan Bednyak, President & Principal at National Home Rentals, and Managing Director of SFR at Magnolia Capital.
Magnolia Capital was advised by Eastdil Secured for capital placement services.
