Inflation $TLT worries=opportunity to invest in single family rental leader Invitation Homes $INVH. At $28/sh implies 4.8% 2021 cap rate. Trades at ~5-10% discount to NAV.
$AVB $EQR $CPT $MAA $ESS $VNQ $AMH $XLRE #reits #dividends
SHOULD trade at premium to NAV->Platform value:
2/While anyone can buy a home and become a landlord, this is a scale/density business. To effectively manage single family homes bigger is MUCH better. Scale allows for in-house provision of services (hire a plumber full time for $200/day rather than pay $150 for each visit).
3/Route density is also critical. On average, INVH owns at 5,000 homes per market. Can cluster maintenance jobs. This has lead to NOI margins of ~67%. Put simply, with scale INVH retains more of each rental $ as profit than competitors.
4/Scale advantages =PLATFORM VALUE. Each rental home is worth more in the hands of a large player like INVH than to a less efficient small operator. Recipe for value accretive external growth (buying more homes). Recently $INVH has been acquiring at 5.5%+ cap rates.
5/Strong housing market has allowed INVH to fund these investments by selectively selling houses in very hot markets at very low cap rates (2.3% in last quarter). A recent JV gives INVH additional buying power.
6/INVH benefits from a shortage of housing in the US. After the housing bust of 2007-2009, very few houses were built in the US over the ensuing decade. Meanwhile construction costs have soared. Limited SUPPLY->STRONG PRICE POWER (RENT INCREASES!)
7/INVH operates in attractive markets with growing demand for single family rental units:
8/INVH has a VERY STRONG BALANCE SHEET -loan to value (LTV) is only about 30% (think about that - most people only put 10-20% down when buying a house and have LTVs of 80-90%). I see INVH as a very low risk situation.
9/I estimate shares to be worth in excess of $35 (25+% upside). Given the VERY low risk profile, solid inflation protection (leases reprice annually), sustainable competitive advantages, and favorable supply/demand balance, I consider shares quite attractive here.
10/I might put out something more detailed in the next week or so but given how much shares have come off recently, I wanted to highlight this opportunity. #investing #valueinvesting #realestate #fintwit

$CPT -Private market sells us that NAV here is ~$125. Good mgmt track record; should trade at a premium. Baird & $BAC putting out usual sellside nonsense today (how is it worth 10% less than yesterday $BAC?). $BAC thinks it knows better than $billions in private mkt skin in game
participants. Haha. Notes from call: There is a strong bid for Class B value add (apartment classes explained here) apartments in the private market. The cap rate spread between Class B 'value add' apartments and Class A apartments has narrowed considerably over the last couple
of years. Camden plans to take advantage of the relative strength of the Class B pricing by selling Class B and rotating the proceeds into Class A assets. This will reduce associated capital expenditures over the life of the asset. Overall this makes sense to rotate into higher

$ESS Love the way they describe capital market activities on the call - I'm paraphrasing "Selling properties at pre COVID pricing and buying back stock at a significant discount to NAV". While volumes have declined in the private market mgmt believes suburban properties would
fetch pre-COVID pricing or better (vast majority of ESS is suburban) whereas urban property values are estimated to be -5% vs. preCOVID w/ cap rates of 4% or lower. Mike Schall & co are the best in the biz $UDR $EQR $AVB $VNQ
In the process of selling 3 assets including San Fran building significantly hit by COVID. 3.2% cap rate on in place rent/ 3.8% pre COVID. Private market (real market) remains strong. Ignore the Wall St wizards panning the stock. Sell side wastes mgmt's time with so many

$MAA (2/4) call highlights: 1)demand is strong -now getting ‘normal’ 5-6% renewal rates (2)see supply moderating in 2H (I always take this with a grain of salt in the sunbelt!) #reits $CPT $VNQ $NXRT #multihousing #apartmentinvesting #dividends #cre (3)Valuations are high/cap....
3)Cap rates at all time lows in key markets (mid 3s/low 4s). This makes it impossible for MAA to acquire assets accretively. Instead they will do some opportunistic divestitures and (4)develop new apartment buildings (2,600 underway)- development yields are expected to be around
6% and in-process projects include Austin and Phoenix. While dev yields are appetizing, recall that it takes ~3+ yrs to stabilize/develop AND 2,600 units is ~2.5% or so of MAA's total # of apartments so this doesn't move the needle a ton. That said, I still like it here and...
