Invitation Homes
How Invitation Homes turned single-family rentals into an institutional asset class.
In two thousand and eight, the real estate market collapsed. Banks seized homes. Foreclosures flooded markets. A house costing three hundred thousand sold for one hundred fifty thousand.

Nobody wanted it Blackstone bought thousands of homes and hired Invitation to manage them. Invitation did not own the homes, they operated them.

Evictions followed legal process. Chaos became process Invitation scaled to ninety thousand homes.
