I have been an Invitation Homes resident for five years. Being out of work for an extended time
due to COVID, I was worried about how I would make rent payments. One call to an IH property
manager, and I was given not only reassurance but a sense of wellbeing. She helped me find
resources, was very attentive and sympathetic, and overall really showed she truly cares about
the residents in the properties she oversees. Thank you!!

Dear Fellow Stockholders:
We entered 2021 with great occupancy rates, solid processes around the challenges of COVID, and a plan for
major growth. Throughout the year, we proved that our business model remains strong and that our teams
continue to execute at a high level.
As we enter our second decade, we are proud of the work we do on behalf of the growing share of Americans
who prefer the ease of renting over the burden of owning a home. The continued high demand for our product
demonstrates that the choice and flexibility we offer is attractive to many people. We offer quality single-family
rental homes to more than 80,000 American families and individuals across the country. Each aspect of our
operations — whether in our corporate headquarters or a field office located in one of our 16 markets — is driven
by a resident-centered model. Our core values of Genuine Care, Unshakeable Integrity, Continuous Excellence,
and Standout Citizenship provide a compass for our actions, and our associates work hard every day to live
these values and to honor the trust our residents have placed in us to provide safe and secure homes for them
and their loved ones.
Highlights of 2021
• Acquired more than $1.9 billion of homes, greatly surpassing original targets and realizing our most active
growth year since 2014
• Conducted three successful debt issuances and one equity offering, resulting in $2.5 billion in gross proceeds
• Achieved investment-grade rating from three ratings agencies, which enables further strengthening of our
balance sheet and expanding our capital sources
• Formed an innovative strategic relationship with PulteGroup, Inc., with the intent to add 7,500 new homes
to the Invitation Homes portfolio over five years
• Continued to improve offerings to residents, including air filter delivery, pest control and landscaping
packages, and a maintenance app
• Achieved a 13% increase on our sustainability score with GRESB, a third-party international organization
that measures a company’s ESG achievements
• Formalized our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and launched five additional employee
resource groups (ERGs) to further support a welcoming work environment
• Positively impacted our communities by using a record 13,196 company-provided volunteer hours, and by
launching two signature community engagement programs: Step Up, Stand Out is focused on educational
opportunities in the skilled trades careers; and Green Spaces is centered around improving community
amenities where our associates and residents live
Focus on the future. We believe the future is paved with opportunity, as well as with expectations. I’m pleased to
stand beside our incredible team in meeting both. In our first 10 years of doing business, we defined an industry
and, in the process, proved that there is value and demand for our business. In the coming years, I believe we’ll
continue to provide the product, service, and experience that keeps Americans safe and happy in their homes.
Growing to meet demand. Americans are increasingly seeking flexibility and choice in their lives, whether it be
for their entertainment, their transportation, or their home, among other items. Our success, in part, has been
driven by this changing social dynamic. We are excited to uncover new opportunities to meet the incredible
demand we’re seeing for home leasing, whether it be through organic growth of our core leased home product
or through investments in related avenues, like build to rent or lease to own. In addition, we continue to seek
adjacent business opportunities that advance Americans’ choice and experience when it comes to their home.
Improving the experience for our residents. We are continually thinking about how we can create a better
and easier living experience for our residents. It’s our daily call to action, and it’s one we take very seriously.
While we’ve come a long way in the past decade, there are a multitude of opportunities to expand our current
offerings. We are focused on a prioritized list of prospective items such as technology, energy, home care, and
health and wellness, among others. We anticipate that we’ll continue to roll out a few of these each year and
that we’ll continue to identify additional services that will free up our residents’ time and make their lives easier.
Advancing our ESG objectives. Through our integrated and ongoing approach to sustainability and corporate
responsibility, we seek to drive positive change and create value for our stakeholders. We have set a solid
foundation for our environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) efforts, and we are committed to learning
and improving our approach. Our priorities in the coming year will include: evaluating improvements to our
existing properties to decrease the impact of our homes on the environment and advancing initiatives that will
make our operations more sustainable; continuing to provide development opportunities and programming
that ensure our associates have the resources, skills, experiences, and support they need; and deepening our
engagement with local organizations in order to ensure meaningful support for the communities where our
residents and associates live and work.
In Conclusion
Invitation Homes has always been a company driven by a noble
purpose: to provide safe and comfortable shelter. In doing so, we’ve
enabled individuals, businesses, and economies to thrive. As I look
ahead to 2022 and our ambitious goals for the future, I am extremely
excited about the value we can bring to all our stakeholders, as we
focus on advancing our growth, continuing to provide Genuine Care
to our residents, and enhancing our ESG efforts.
Sincerely yours,
Dallas B. Tanner

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), which include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the
performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical
statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as
“outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “projects,”
“predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other
comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties as summarized
below in “Summary Risk Factors.” These risks and uncertainties include among others, risks inherent to the
single-family rental industry and our business model, macroeconomic factors beyond our control, competition in
identifying and acquiring properties, competition in the leasing market for quality residents, increasing property
taxes, homeowners’ association (“HOA”) fees, and insurance costs, our dependence on third parties for key
services, risks related to the evaluation of properties, poor resident selection and defaults and non-renewals by
our residents, performance of our information technology systems, risks related to our indebtedness, and risks
related to the potential negative impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, business, associates, and residents. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that
could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Moreover,
many of these factors have been heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic. We believe these factors include but are not limited to, those described under Part I.
Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such factors may be updated from time to time
in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on
the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be
read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
and in our other periodic filings. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or review any
forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except to
the extent otherwise required by law.
Summary Risk Factors
Our ability to successfully operate our business is subject to numerous risks, including those that are
generally associated with operating in the real estate industry. Some of the more significant challenges and risks
are summarized below. This summary contains only a select portion of the risks set forth in Part I. Item 1A.
“Risk Factors” and throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
• Our operating results are subject to risks related to general economic conditions and risks associated
with our real estate assets;
• The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other future epidemics and public health crises could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition;
• We are employing a business model with a limited track record, which may make our business difficult
to evaluate, and we have a limited operating history;
• A significant portion of our costs and expenses are fixed, including increasing property taxes, HOA
fees, and insurance costs, and we may not be able to adapt our costs structure to offset declines in our
revenue;
• Timing and costs of renovating our properties and the cost of maintaining rental properties may
negatively affect our financial results;
• Concentration of our investments in certain markets and in the single-family properties sector of the
real estate industry exposes us to seasonal fluctuations in rental demand and downturns in our markets
or in the single-family properties sector;
3
• We face significant competition in the leasing market for quality residents, which may limit our ability
to lease our single-family homes on favorable terms;
• We face risks associated with acquisitions and dispositions of properties which could lead to material
losses on our investments in our properties and adversely impact anticipated yields, including risks
related to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
competition in identifying and acquiring our properties;
possible title defects;
acquisitions of new homes from third party homebuilders;
bulk portfolio acquisitions and dispositions;
acquisitions through an auction process;
evaluation of properties based on potentially inaccurate assumptions; and
acquisitions of properties consistent with our investment strategy regardless of favorability of
rental and housing markets;
• Our dependence upon third parties for key services may have an adverse effect on our operating results
or reputation if the third parties fail to perform;
•
Supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, or labor inflation could have a material adverse impact on
our business, financial condition, or operating results;
• We are highly dependent on information systems and systems failures, security breaches, and other
disruptions could significantly disrupt our business and expose us to liability;
• Compliance with governmental laws, regulations, and covenants that are applicable to our properties,
including tenant relief laws, restrictions on evictions and collections, rent control laws, affordability
covenants, permit, license, and zoning requirements, may negatively impact our rental income and
profitability;
• Legal and regulatory proceedings, claims, inquiries and investigations, exacerbated by increased
political and regulatory scrutiny of our industry, and negative publicity by tenant and consumer rights
organizations could directly limit and constrain our operations and may result in significant litigation
expenses and reputational harm;
• A significant number of our residential properties are part of HOAs and we and our residents are
subject to the rules of such HOAs, which are subject to change, and violations of such rules may
subject us to additional fees and penalties and litigation with such HOAs, which would be costly;
• Our reliance on information supplied by prospective residents, which may be inaccurate, may lead to
poor leasing decisions, and our portfolio may contain more risk than we believe;
•
If a significant number of our residents fail to meet their lease obligations or fail to renew their leases,
our reputation, financial performance, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be
adversely affected;
• Allegations of leasing fraud may result in fines, settlements, litigation expenses, and reputational
damage;
• Relatively short lease terms expose us to the risk that we may have to re-lease our properties
frequently, which we may be unable to do on attractive terms, on a timely basis, or at all;
•
Fluctuations of rent rates in our markets could adversely affect our financial condition, operating
results, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders;
• Declining real estate valuations and impairment charges could adversely affect our financial condition
and operating results;
4
• Our participation in joint venture investments may limit our ability to invest in certain markets, and we
may be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture
partners’ financial condition, our exposure to liabilities in connection with property management and
other services we provide to our joint venture partners, and disputes between us and our joint venture
partners;
• We may suffer losses that are not covered by insurance;
• We are subject to risks related to environmental, social, and governance issues, including risks from
natural disasters, environmentally hazardous conditions, impact of climate change, related regulatory
and investor responses to climate change, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy;
• We may have difficulty selling our real estate investments, and our ability to distribute all or a portion
of the net proceeds from any such sale to our stockholders may be limited;
• We may be unable to obtain financing through the debt and equity markets, or a downgrade in our
credit ratings could adversely affect our financing options; both of which would have a material
adverse effect on our growth strategy and our financial condition and operating results;
• We utilize a significant amount of indebtedness in the operation of our business, and our cash flows
and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related interest and
other risks of our debt financing;
•
•
Provisions of Maryland law and certain provisions in our charter may limit the ability of a third party to
acquire control of us, even if such change in control would be in the best interests of our stockholders
or would result in receipt of a premium to the price of our common stock; and
If we do not maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), we will be subject to
tax as a regular domestic corporation and could face a substantial tax liability, and maintaining our
REIT status may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more complete statement of risks and uncertainties in Part I.
Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” You should carefully read the entire statement together with all of the other information
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K when considering the risks and uncertainties in evaluating our company and
our business.

DEFINED TERMS
Invitation Homes Inc. (“INVH”), a REIT, conducts its operations through Invitation Homes Operating
Partnership LP (“INVH LP”). THR Property Management L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of INVH LP (the
“Manager”), provides all management and other administrative services with respect to the properties we own.
On November 16, 2017, INVH and certain of its affiliates entered into a series of transactions with Starwood
Waypoint Homes (“SWH”) and certain SWH affiliates which resulted in SWH and its operating partnership
being merged into INVH and INVH LP, respectively, with INVH and INVH LP being the surviving entities (the
“Mergers”).
Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to “Invitation
Homes,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to INVH and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In this Annual Report on Form 10-K:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
“average monthly rent” represents average monthly rental income per home for occupied properties in an
identified population of homes over the measurement period and reflects the impact of non-service rent
concessions and contractual rent increases amortized over the life of the related lease. We believe average
monthly rent reflects pricing trends that significantly impact rental revenues over time, making average
monthly rent useful to management and external stakeholders as a means of evaluating changes in rental
revenues across periods;
“average occupancy” for an identified population of homes represents (i) the total number of days that the
homes in such population were occupied during the measurement period, divided by (ii) the total number of
days that the homes in such population were owned during the measurement period. We believe average
occupancy significantly impacts rental revenues in a given period, making comparisons of average
occupancy across different periods helpful to management and external stakeholders in evaluating changes
in rental revenues across periods;
“Carolinas” includes Charlotte-Concord-Gastonia, NC-SC, Greensboro-High Point, NC, Raleigh-Cary, NC,
Durham-Chapel Hill, NC, and Winston-Salem, SC;
“days to re-resident” for an individual home represents the number of days between (i) the date the prior
resident moves out of a home, and (ii) the date the next resident is granted access to the same home, which
is deemed to be the earlier of the next resident’s contractual lease start date and the next resident’s move-in
date. Days to re-resident impacts our average occupancy and thus our rental revenues, making comparisons
of days to re-resident helpful to management and external stakeholders in evaluating changes in rental
revenues across periods;
“in-fill” refers to markets, MSAs, submarkets, neighborhoods or other geographic areas that are typified by
significant population densities and low availability of land suitable for development into competitive
properties, resulting in limited opportunities for new construction;
“Metropolitan Statistical Area” or “MSA” is defined by the United States Office of Management and
Budget as a region associated with at least one urbanized area that has a population of at least 50,000 and
comprises the central county or counties containing the core, plus adjacent outlying counties having a high
degree of social and economic integration with the central county or counties as measured through
commuting;
“net effective rental rate growth” for any home represents the percentage difference between the monthly
rent from an expiring lease and the monthly rent from the next lease and, in each case, reflects the impact of
non-service rent concessions and contractual rent increases amortized over the life of the related lease.
Leases are either renewal leases, where our current resident chooses to stay for a subsequent lease term, or a
new lease, where our previous resident moves out and a new resident signs a lease to occupy the same
home. Net effective rental rate growth drives changes in our average monthly rent, making net effective
rental rate growth useful to management and external stakeholders as a means of evaluating changes in
rental revenues across periods;

•

•
•

•
“Northern California” includes Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA, San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA,
Stockton, CA, Vallejo, CA, and Yuba City, CA;
“PSF” means per square foot. When comparing homes or cohorts of homes, we believe PSF calculations
help management and external stakeholders normalize metrics for differences in property size, enabling
more meaningful comparisons based on characteristics other than property size;
“Same Store” or “Same Store portfolio” includes, for a given reporting period, wholly owned homes that
have been stabilized and seasoned, excluding homes that have been sold, homes that have been identified
for sale to an owner occupant and have become vacant, homes that have been deemed inoperable or
significantly impaired by casualty loss events or force majeure, homes acquired in portfolio transactions that
are deemed not to have undergone renovations of sufficiently similar quality and characteristics as the
existing Invitation Homes Same Store portfolio, and homes in markets that we have announced an intent to
exit where we no longer operate a significant number of homes for the primary purpose of income
generation. Homes are considered stabilized if they have (i) completed an initial renovation and (ii) entered
into at least one post-initial renovation lease. An acquired portfolio that is both leased and deemed to be of
sufficiently similar quality and characteristics as the existing Invitation Homes Same Store portfolio may be
considered stabilized at the time of acquisition. Homes are considered to be seasoned once they have been
stabilized for at least 15 months prior to January 1st of the year in which the Same Store portfolio was
established. We believe information about the portion of our portfolio that has been fully operational for the
entirety of a given reporting period and its prior year comparison period provides management and external
stakeholders with meaningful information about the performance of our comparable homes across periods
and about trends in our organic business;
“Southeast United States” includes our Atlanta and Carolinas markets;
“South Florida” includes Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, FL, and Port St. Lucie, FL;
“Southern California” includes Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA, Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura,
CA, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, and San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad, CA;
“total homes” or “total portfolio” refers to the total number of homes we own, whether or not stabilized, and
excludes any properties previously acquired in purchases that have been subsequently rescinded or vacated.
Unless otherwise indicated, total homes or total portfolio refers to the wholly owned homes and excludes
homes owned in joint ventures. Additionally, unless the context otherwise requires, all measures in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented on a total portfolio basis;
“turnover rate” represents the number of instances that homes in an identified population become
unoccupied in a given period, divided by the number of homes in such population. To the extent the
measurement period shown is less than 12 months, the turnover rate may be reflected on an annualized
basis. We believe turnover rate impacts average occupancy and thus our rental revenues, making
comparisons of turnover rate helpful to management and external stakeholders in evaluating changes in
rental revenues across periods. In addition, turnover can impact our cost to maintain homes, making changes
in turnover rate useful to management and external stakeholders in evaluating changes in our property
operating and maintenance expenses across periods; and

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
PART 1
Invitation Homes is a leading owner and operator of single-family homes for lease, offering residents high-
quality homes in sought-after neighborhoods across America. With over 80,000 homes for lease in 16 markets
across the country as of December 31, 2021, we are meeting the needs of a growing share of Americans who
prefer the ease of leasing over the burden of owning a home. We provide our residents access to updated homes
with features they value, as well as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools. The continued demand for
our product proves that the choice and flexibility we offer is attractive to many prospective residents.
We operate in markets with strong demand drivers, high barriers to entry, and high rent growth potential,
primarily in the Western United States, Florida, and the Southeast United States. Through disciplined market and
asset selection, as well as through strategic mergers and acquisitions, we designed our portfolio to capture the
operating benefits of local density as well as economies of scale that we believe cannot be readily replicated.
Since our founding in 2012, we have built a proven, vertically integrated operating platform that enables us to
effectively and efficiently acquire, renovate, lease, maintain, and manage our homes.
Our homes average approximately 1,870 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, appealing to a
resident base that we believe is less transitory than a typical multifamily resident. We invest in the upfront
renovation of homes in our portfolio in order to address capital needs, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, and
drive resident demand.
At Invitation Homes, we are committed to creating a better way to live and to being a force for positive
change, while at the same time advancing efforts that make our company more innovative and our processes
more sustainable. Environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) initiatives are an important part of our
strategic business objectives and are critical to our long-term success.
Our mission statement, “Together with you, we make a house a home,” reflects our commitment to high-
touch customer service that continuously enhances residents’ living experiences and provides homes where
individuals and families can thrive. Each aspect of our operations — whether in our corporate headquarters or
field offices located in our 16 markets — is driven by a resident-centric model. Our associates take our values
seriously and work hard every day to honor the trust our residents have placed in us to provide safe and secure
homes for them and their loved ones. In turn, we focus on ensuring our associates are fairly compensated and that
we provide a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture where they are appreciated for who they are and what they
bring to the business. We also place a strong emphasis on the impact we have in our communities and to the
environment in general, and we continue to develop programs that will demonstrate that commitment. In
addition, we ensure that we operate under strong, well-defined governance practices and adhere to the highest
ethical standards at all times.
During 2021, we continued to adapt our priorities and evolve our strategies to navigate the challenges of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have implemented a host of measures to
ensure continuity of our business operations and services while protecting our associates and residents, including
modifying the workplace and adopting new business practices to align with health protocols and adapting to
changing operational realities. While our business has not been materially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
we continue to monitor the situation to ensure we fully understand and define any potential impact.
History
Through certain of the six holding entities that owned our business prior to our initial public offering (the
“IH Holding Entities”), we commenced operations in 2012. On January 31, 2017, we effected certain
reorganization transactions that resulted in INVH LP holding, directly or indirectly, all of the assets, liabilities,
8
and results of operations of the Manager and the full portfolio of homes owned by the IH Holding Entities. As a
result of the reorganization transactions, INVH LP became a consolidated subsidiary of INVH. A wholly owned
subsidiary of INVH, Invitation Homes OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), serves as INVH LP’s sole general
partner.
Invitation Homes Inc., a Maryland corporation, was incorporated in Delaware on October 4, 2016. On
February 6, 2017, Invitation Homes Inc. changed its jurisdiction of incorporation to Maryland and completed an
initial public offering of its shares of common stock (the “IPO”).
On November 16, 2017, we completed the Mergers with SWH, whereby we acquired all outstanding SWH
common shares.
As of December 31, 2021, INVH owns a 99.6% partnership interest in INVH LP and has the full, exclusive,
and complete responsibility for and discretion over the day-to-day management and control of INVH LP.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1717 Main Street, Suite 2000, Dallas, Texas 75201, and our
telephone number is (972) 421-3600.
Our Platform
Our vertically integrated, scalable platform allows greater influence over the experience of our residents
while enabling us to better control operating costs and continuously share best practices across functional areas
of the business. Our differentiated platform is built upon:
• Resident-centric focus. Our high-touch business model enables us to continuously solicit and integrate
resident feedback into our operations and tailor our approach to address their preferences, providing a
superior living experience and fostering customer loyalty. We believe this, in turn, drives rent growth,
occupancy, and low turnover rates and will enable us to develop significant brand equity in the longer
term.
•
•
Local presence and expertise. In-market managers oversee the operations of local leasing, property
management, and maintenance teams, enabling us to provide outstanding resident service, leverage
local expertise in managing rental, occupancy, and turnover rates, and improve cost and oversight of
renovations and ongoing maintenance of our homes. As a result of our concentrated footprint within
our markets, our regional managers and in-market teams are able to realize local-operator advantages,
while still benefiting from significant economies of scale.
Scalable, centralized infrastructure. We support local market operations with national strategy,
infrastructure, and standards to drive efficiency, consistency, and cost savings. We utilize our extensive
scale to ensure the consistent quality of our resident experience and maximize cost efficiencies and
purchasing power. On a national level we are also able to standardize resident leases, employ a
consistent approach to resident screening and leasing operations, and utilize dynamic, rules-based
pricing tools informed by local market conditions.
Our approach to investment and asset management similarly combines local presence and expertise with
national oversight. Our investment and asset management teams are located in-market and apply their local
market knowledge within the framework of a proprietary and consistent underwriting methodology, with support
from national leadership based in our corporate headquarters focused on investment and asset management
strategy. Through the integration of investment and asset management and property management functions, our
platform enables our teams to incorporate real-time information regarding leasing activity, property operations,
maintenance, and capital spending into asset selection. We believe the advantages of our integrated acquisition
platform and local market expertise have driven the quality of our existing total portfolio of 82,381 homes as of
December 31, 2021. We similarly believe that employing experienced, in-house acquisitions teams at the local
level gives us a competitive advantage in selectively acquiring homes that will maximize risk-adjusted total
return.

Our Business Activities
Since our founding in 2012, we have built a proven, vertically integrated operating platform that allows us
to effectively and efficiently acquire, renovate, lease, maintain, and manage both the homes we own as well as
those we manage on behalf of others, including our joint venture partners. Our differentiated approach, which
combines a resident-centric focus, local market presence and expertise, and national strategy, infrastructure, and
standards, informs all areas of our operations.
Property Operations
Property operations encompasses the in-house local market management and execution of marketing,
leasing, resident relations, and maintenance functions. We have developed and employ a highly scalable,
vertically integrated, and resident-centric property management service platform, referred to as “ProCare.” All of
our property management functions have been internally managed since our founding in 2012, and we have
implemented an extensive property management infrastructure, including an online resident portal, smart home
technology, a mobile app for residents to schedule and track maintenance requests, a technology suite to manage
work orders and associates, dedicated in-market associates, and local offices in each of our markets.
We have organized our property management associates and operating structure such that Vice Presidents of
Operations in each of our markets are responsible for the operations of local leasing, property management, and
maintenance teams. We believe our operating model differentiates our approach to local market operations and
enables us to provide superior, high-touch resident service, maximize the effectiveness of our in-market
associates in managing rental, occupancy, and turnover rates and improve our cost management and oversight
over both upfront renovations and ongoing maintenance.
All of our local market associates are supported by our centralized national infrastructure, which allows us
to deploy best practices and standardization where appropriate. The combination of our local market presence
and national infrastructure enables us to exercise greater control over our property management service platform,
allowing us to enhance the experience of our residents, better manage operating costs, and share best practices
across various functional areas of our business.
Marketing and Leasing
Our associates are responsible for establishing rental rates, marketing and leasing properties, and collecting
and processing rent. We establish and manage rental rates based on a dynamic, rules-based pricing tool that is
informed by local market conditions, including a competitive analysis of market rents for institutional single-
family rental properties, growth in single-family and multifamily market rents since a specific home’s last lease
commenced, the size, fit and finish, and location of the home, the number of applications received, and the
number of days a home has been available on the market, as well as qualitative factors, such as neighborhood
characteristics, community amenities, and proximity to employment centers, desirable schools, transportation
corridors, and local services.
We typically begin pre-marketing properties 30 to 60 days in advance of their becoming vacant to maintain
high occupancy rates and reduce vacancy losses. We advertise available properties through multiple channels,
including an exclusive period on our proprietary website, internet listing services (such as Zillow, Trulia,
HotPads, and Realtor.com), MLS, yard signs, search engine marketing, social and other digital media, and local
brokers. We offer flexible showing options for convenience, including virtual tours and floor plans on our
website, self-showings that leverage the home’s smart home technology, and in-person showings. We own
internal brokerages to serve each state in which we operate and primarily utilize in-market leasing experience
specialists to drive a better end-to-end resident experience that achieves our occupancy, revenue, and retention
goals while facilitating enjoyment of our worry-free leasing lifestyle.
10
Prospective residents may submit an application through the application portal on our website. To maintain
brand consistency and better track compliance with leasing requirements, we utilize standardized online
applications, national lease agreements, move-in and move-out documents, resident communications, and other
ancillary documents. We evaluate prospective residents in a standardized manner through the use of a third party
resident screening partner. Our resident screening process includes obtaining appropriate identification, a
thorough evaluation of credit history and household income, a review of the applicant’s rental history, and a
background check for criminal activity. Although we require a minimum income to rent ratio, many additional
factors are also taken into consideration during the resident evaluation process, including eviction history,
criminal history, and rental and other payment history.
Our disciplined investment strategy and local, in-market approach have given us scale and density of homes
in desirable neighborhoods, enabling us to execute cost-effective advertising targeting potential residents whose
online behaviors indicate interest in these neighborhoods. We believe this approach increases our likelihood of
capturing and retaining residents and enhances our opportunity to develop and market other programs and
services.
Digital Marketing Initiatives and Branding
We encourage meaningful community interaction across our digital platforms by continuously refreshing
the content of our website, blog, and social media accounts with articles, home maintenance advice, contests, and
incentives designed to enrich the lives of our residents and protect our homes. For example, we alert our residents
to prepare for storms, incentivize them to pay their rent online, offer “Lease Friendly” and “Make It Home”
design tips and contests, and hold an annual Resident Appreciation Day. Resident engagement and social
following continue to grow, and we receive positive feedback from residents, who specifically mention our
approachable lifestyle and home maintenance content that helps them make a house a home.
Resident Relations and Property Maintenance
The associates in each of our markets are responsible for property repairs and maintenance and resident
relations. In coordination with a third party vendor, we offer a 24/7 emergency telephone line to handle after-
hours maintenance issues on an expedited basis as needed, and our residents can also contact us through our
online mobile app, our resident portal, our call centers, or our local property management offices. As part of our
ongoing property management process, we seek to conduct routine repairs and maintenance in a timely manner,
as appropriate, by appointment at the resident’s convenience. We seek to utilize quality materials to minimize the
recurrence of maintenance requests and maximize long-term rental income and cash flows from our portfolio.
We typically utilize our in-house maintenance associates in each of our markets to provide ordinary course,
“handyman” services, and outsource more complex or extensive repairs, such as roofing, heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems, plumbing, and electrical work to vetted, pre-approved third party vendor
partners. We strive to maximize the number of maintenance calls that are addressed by our in-house maintenance
technicians. In cases where we outsource more complex or extensive repairs, our in-house maintenance
associates provide oversight to ensure quality control and cost effectiveness. In addition, our in-house
maintenance associates conduct periodic ProCare visits to our properties to help foster positive, long-term
relationships with our residents, track and report maintenance needs effectively, conduct preventive maintenance,
and ensure compliance with lease terms, local laws, and HOA rules and regulations. We temporarily paused a
portion of these visits as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but began reinstating ProCare proactive visits
during 2021.
ProCare service, our property management service platform, includes several touchpoints over the term of a
resident’s lease designed to enhance their satisfaction with our service model, improve the efficiency of our
service and our homes’ systems, and ensure that each resident is properly educated regarding the home and their
responsibilities. When a new resident moves into one of our homes, our associates conduct a resident orientation
11
(occasionally virtual due to the ongoing pandemic) during which we revisit the terms of the lease, outline what
aspects of the home’s upkeep are the resident’s responsibility, walk through all of the home’s major systems in
order to familiarize the resident with their safe and proper operation, and inform the resident that we will be
conducting a post move-in maintenance visit. Following the move-in orientation, each resident is encouraged to
keep a record of any non-emergency service items. At the time of the post move-in maintenance visit
approximately 45 days after move-in, our in-house property maintenance associates will address any
non-emergency service needs the resident has noted. We believe this process has a number of benefits. First, by
conducting an in-person move-in orientation, we are able to ensure that residents understand their obligations
under the terms of their lease, as well as how to safely and properly operate the home’s systems, reducing both
the likelihood of misaligned expectations and unnecessary wear and tear on the property. Second, by scheduling
a post move-in maintenance visit, we are able to address multiple service requests in a single visit, improving the
resident experience by avoiding the inconvenience of multiple service appointments and improving the efficiency
and productivity of our in-house property maintenance associates. Finally, the post move-in maintenance visit
allows us to more quickly identify residents who may not be adhering to the terms of their lease or may be
subjecting the home to undue wear and tear and/or damages as a result of their treatment of the property.
Following the regularly scheduled post move-in maintenance visit described above, our in-house property
maintenance associates in each of our markets conduct preventive maintenance visits about every six months
during the life of a resident’s stay in the home. During preventive maintenance visits, our in-house property
maintenance associates inspect the home’s systems, paying particular attention to potential safety hazards as well
as potential causes of damage that could result in us incurring significant maintenance costs if left unaddressed.
Examples of areas of focus for preventive maintenance visits include smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, air
filters, hot water heaters, toilet valves, under-sink plumbing, and garbage disposals, among others.
We also conduct pre-move-out visits 15 to 30 days prior to scheduled resident move-outs. These visits allow
us to notify residents of any repairs they may need to undertake prior to moving out of the property, such as
carpet cleaning or landscaping maintenance, in order to avoid forfeiture of part or all of their security deposit. In
addition, these visits allow our in-house property maintenance associates to begin preparing a scope of work and
budget for the turnover work we undertake between residents to prepare our homes to be re-leased to a new
resident. These visits also improve our ability to pre-market our homes.
Regardless of the purpose or timing of the visit, our in-house property maintenance associates are required
to conduct a general property condition assessment (“GPCA”) every time they visit one of our homes. The
GPCA requires our in-house property maintenance associates to assess and document interior and exterior
conditions and whether the resident is adhering to the terms of their lease, as well as any potential safety hazards
or potential causes of damage that could result in us incurring significant maintenance costs if left unaddressed. If
a deficiency is identified by our in-house property maintenance associates we endeavor to take prompt action to
correct it.
Investment and Asset Management
Acquisition Strategy
We have a disciplined acquisition platform that is capable of deploying capital across multiple acquisition
channels and markets simultaneously. Our markets were generally selected through a robust process utilizing an
analysis of housing and rental market supply and demand fundamentals, macroeconomic and demographic
trends, and risk-adjusted total return potential. Specifically, the process we use to select and, on an ongoing basis,
evaluate our markets ranks these markets based on relative weightings of factors that include, but are not limited
to, forecast population and employment growth, household formation, historical and forecast deliveries of new
residential housing supply, discounts to replacement cost for single-family residential housing, size of the
addressable market, volume of new and existing home sales, potential yields implied by the relationship between
market rental rates and the price of single-family residential housing, forecast home price appreciation, and
forecast rental rate growth.
12
We have amassed significant scale within our 16 markets. In these markets, our acquisition strategy has
been, and will continue to be, focused on buying, renovating, and operating high quality single-family homes for
lease that we believe will appeal to and attract a high quality resident base, that will experience robust long-term
demand, and that will benefit from capital appreciation. In evaluating acquisitions, we analyze numerous factors,
including neighborhood desirability, proximity to employment centers, schools, and transportation corridors,
community amenities, construction type, and required ongoing capital needs, among others.
We target submarkets and neighborhoods in undersupplied high-growth markets and leverage our in-house
acquisition and operations teams’ local market expertise to acquire homes in in-fill locations that we believe will
experience above average rental rate growth and home price appreciation. Our in-house acquisition teams are
comprised of dedicated professionals located in our markets and at our corporate headquarters who provide
strategic direction and broad oversight. Our acquisition teams have significant local market experience and
expertise in single-family investments and sales, which enables us to target specific submarkets, neighborhoods,
individual streets, and homes that meet our selection and underwriting criteria. As part of our selective and
disciplined investment approach, we have analyzed and considered a far greater number of potential acquisitions
than the number of homes we have actually acquired. We thus have a substantial proprietary database from
which we can draw as we evaluate future acquisition opportunities in our markets. As a result of our large
existing portfolio and volume of acquisitions to date, we believe we have a high degree of visibility into rental
rates and fixed and controllable operating expenses, which allows us to more accurately underwrite expected net
yields of homes prior to acquisition. We also collaborate with local market real estate brokers and others, and we
leverage these relationships to source off-market acquisition opportunities. Within our markets, our approach
allows us to screen broadly and rapidly to identify potential acquisitions in highly targeted submarkets at the
neighborhood and street levels. Our in-house team of acquisition professionals coordinates with our in-house
renovation, maintenance, and property management teams to ensure that feedback from historical acquisitions is
shared across functions so that our ongoing investment activities are informed by, and benefit from, insight from
prior experience.
Property Renovations
We have an in-house team of dedicated associates located in our markets who oversee our upfront property
renovation process and the ongoing maintenance of our homes, with support from centralized construction
experts and infrastructure. This team works in collaboration with our in-house investment and property
management teams to maximize the total return of our upfront investment and minimize ongoing maintenance
costs. To this end, our professionals ensure the following are evaluated: the structural needs and major systems of
a property (e.g., examining roofs, HVAC systems, and siding); other maintenance-reducing improvements and
repairs (e.g., installing durable hard-surface flooring, removing carpet from high-traffic areas, and testing
plumbing and pipes both in the home and out to the street); and the level of fit and finish required to maintain
consistency with our brand standards and maximize rental demand (e.g., selecting cabinet and countertop finishes
and appliances designed to improve resident demand).
In general, before a home is acquired or when an acquired home first becomes vacant, our in-house teams
begin the renovation process by preparing a detailed renovation budget and scope of work based on an
assessment of each property’s major systems and structural features. These include HVAC, roofs, pools, and
plumbing and electrical systems. In addition, we also evaluate other features of the home’s fit and finish,
including appliances, landscaping, decks and/or patios, and fixtures. During our initial assessment, we also
determine the potential for, and potential return on, any value-additive upgrades that may reduce future operating
costs or enhance rental demand and, by extension, our ability to realize more attractive rental, occupancy, or
turnover rates.
We are able to drive cost efficiencies through local oversight of the entire process of renovating our homes
by our associates. Each property’s detailed budget and scope of work prepared by our in-house team of
renovation professionals is reviewed and vetted by our in-house asset management and operations teams, and in
13
the case of work we contract directly, presented for bid to one or more of our pre-approved vendor partners in
each of our markets. In the case of work for which we rely upon general contractors, we set prices based on the
scope of work involved. By establishing and enforcing best practices and quality consistency, and through a
constant process of evaluating and grading our vendor partners, we believe that we are able to reduce the costs of
both materials and labor. For example, we have negotiated discounts and extended warranties for products that
we regularly use during the renovation process, including appliances, HVAC systems and components, carpet
and flooring, and paint, among others. We are also able to reduce general contractor fees by working directly
with vendors. We believe this approach results in both a larger proportion of our upfront renovation expenditures
going toward actual investment in our homes as well as lower overall expenditures than if we were to outsource
all elements of vendor selection and oversight to third party general contractors.
Portfolio Optimization
We maintain a sophisticated process to identify and efficiently dispose of homes that no longer fit our
investment objectives. We believe we have a proven ability to optimize sales prices while reducing both time to
sale and selling costs by utilizing multiple distribution channels, including bulk portfolio sales, our “Resident
First Look” program (which facilitates home sales to our current residents), direct-to-market sales, and MLS. We
believe the significant local density of our portfolio, which averages approximately 5,000 homes per market as of
December 31, 2021, allows us to selectively sell properties without sacrificing the operating efficiency of our
concentrated scale.
Environmental, Social, and Governance Initiatives
As one of the nation’s leading home leasing companies, we have an opportunity and responsibility to
contribute to a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable world. Our mission, vision, and values define our daily
actions in delivering on our pledge to be a responsible corporate citizen. Our mission statement “Together with
you, we make a house a home” reflects our commitment to a resident-centric business philosophy. Each day, we
live out our values of Unshakeable Integrity, Genuine Care, Continuous Excellence, and Standout Citizenship as
we strive to benefit our residents, our associates, our communities, and our shareholders while at the same time
advancing initiatives that make us more innovative and our processes more sustainable.
We believe that integrating environmental, social, and governance initiatives into our strategic business
objectives is critical to our long-term success. In 2021, we completed a formal ESG materiality assessment to
identify opportunities for us to make the biggest impact in the areas that our stakeholders prioritize.
To ensure consistent attention and focus on ESG matters, we have created a dedicated, cross-functional ESG
task force of associates led by executive management. As a part of their role as stewards of our company’s long-
term performance, our Board of Directors plays a critical role in understanding how ESG issues affect our
business strategy and performance and provides oversight with respect to our ESG initiatives and policies. This
responsibility is assigned to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works closely with management and regularly meets
with and reports to the Board of Directors on our ESG strategy, initiatives, and policies. We also believe in the
value of feedback, and we hold ourselves accountable. To that end, we participate in the GRESB Real Estate
Assessment for a third-party evaluation of our ESG performance, and we have linked this performance to the
pricing of our revolving credit facility, whereby improvements in our GRESB score over time can benefit our
borrowing costs under the facility. In 2021, we achieved a 13% improvement in our sustainability score with
GRESB, surpassing the 5% hurdle set forth in our credit facility agreement for achievement of the pricing
benefit.
Through our integrated and ongoing approach to sustainability and corporate responsibility, we seek to drive
positive change and create value for our stakeholders. Our guiding social responsibility, business, and workplace
policies apply to our directors, officers, associates, and vendors, and they are posted on our website. These
14
policies apply to all activities undertaken by or on behalf of Invitation Homes anywhere we operate. Among
other things, these policies encompass areas of community and associate engagement, diversity, equity, and
inclusion (“DE&I”), human rights, corporate governance and ethics, and environmental initiatives that reflect
existing and emerging standards of corporate social responsibility.
Environmental Stewardship
Protecting the environment is critically important to us, and our corporate responsibility initiatives help limit
the company’s carbon footprint and the environmental impact of our homes. We take our responsibility around
carbon emissions very seriously, and we continue to look for ways to lower the level of emissions from, and
energy use by, our homes.
While our residents are responsible for utilities that control energy and water usage, we take a proactive
approach to improving the environmental footprint of our portfolio by, among other things:
•
•
•
•
•
using energy-efficient ENERGY STAR® certified appliances when feasible;
utilizing smart home technology to help residents manage their homes and reduce their energy bills;
installing low-flow plumbing fixtures and greater efficiency HVAC units;
installing water-saving landscape designs in arid locations;
educating residents about energy-efficient practices;
• maintaining stocked vehicles to reduce trips to hardware stores and eliminate unnecessary travel;
•
•
•
•
reducing drive times for our repair technicians by optimizing routes and triaging maintenance issues;
utilizing an HVAC air filter home delivery program for our residents, which may prolong the life of
our HVAC systems, reduce expenses associated with repairs, minimize downtime associated with
system failure, and provide better air quality in the home;
investing in the Fifth Wall Climate Technology Fund to support companies creating climate-friendly
technologies for real estate; and
running a Green Spaces community initiative that brings residents, associates, and business partners
together to expand conservation efforts in our markets.
Social Responsibility
Residents
Our success is fueled by the growing demand for high-quality, single-family homes for lease. Many things
contribute to an exceptional experience for our residents – the speed and effectiveness of our service, the quality
of our portfolio through our ongoing commitment to maintaining our homes, the Genuine Care we provide in
each interaction, and much more. By offering quality homes in attractive neighborhoods, we believe we give
residents the choice to lease a home in a community that may not have otherwise been attainable. We strive to
provide our residents with a worry-free leasing lifestyle through service that includes welcoming them with an
in-person home orientation at move-in, making their lives easier with our smart home technology and other lease
offerings that enhance their experience, and providing 24/7 maintenance combined with our best-in-class
ProCare property management service platform. ProCare is an innovative platform designed to provide regular
opportunities for us to inspect our assets, proactively address issues, and ensure each home continues to meet our
standards.
With the safety and well-being of our residents and associates being our highest priority during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to follow protocols that enable teams to safely provide outstanding service to
15
residents. These protocols include: implementing a safety training program and providing personal protective
equipment for all associates; adhering to strict safety protocols for maintenance service trips; leveraging self-
show and virtual-tour technology; and offering virtual options for resident move-in orientations and
pre-move-out visits.
Additionally, while the COVID-19 outbreak has required us to modify our property improvement and
maintenance procedures to accommodate resident safety preferences, as a currently designated “essential
business” we are completing all maintenance work orders unless a resident reports symptoms of or exposure to
COVID-19.
In March 2020, to act on our core values of Genuine Care and Standout Citizenship, we began to offer
solutions for residents experiencing financial hardship when requested, including the ongoing creation of
payment plans, without late fees, for residents requiring flexibility to meet rental obligations over time. We also
provide residents assistance with finding available rental assistance. As a result of these policies and the
dedication of our associates, we have helped thousands of our residents receive more than $50.5 million of rental
assistance through December 31, 2021. We continue these efforts today. Additionally, we believe that we are in
material compliance with federal, state, and local restrictions on items such as evictions, collections, rent
increases, and late fees as appropriate.
We also believe it is important to listen to our residents, and we incorporate their feedback to continuously
enhance the Genuine Care we provide. We survey residents at each key step in their journey with Invitation
Homes, including at move-in and move-out, and after every in-person interaction they have with an Invitation
Homes associate or vendor. We use this feedback to hold ourselves accountable, with all of our field associates
having a portion of their compensation tied directly to resident satisfaction survey scores. We also use feedback
from surveys and focus groups to help inform new service offerings and enhancements we make to the resident
experience. In addition to our website and resident surveys, we engage with our residents through monthly
resident newsletters, blog posts, and social media campaigns and contests.
As a result of listening to feedback and making positive changes to improve our homes and our services, in
the summer of 2021 we reached and now maintain an all-time company rating of 4.0 on Google and Yelp
combined. In addition, we retain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) and received BBB
accreditation in January 2022.
Human Capital
As of December 31, 2021, we had 1,240 dedicated full-time associates, which we supplement with
temporary and contract resources. None of our associates are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Associates are the backbone of our company. Nothing happens without the day-to-day dedication of our
invaluable associates. Whether they are a front-line brand ambassador who represents us each and every day with
our residents or a back-of-the-house support team member who ensures we continue to move forward, our
associates are our greatest asset. From our focus on associates’ well-being, health, and safety to our support for a
diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture, we treat each other fairly and act with honesty, integrity, and respect.
We believe that diverse, equitable, and inclusive companies make for more innovative, engaged, and happy
teams. Our organization celebrates diversity and cultivates a culture of equity and inclusion. As of December 31,
2021, women comprise 41% of all associates and 44% of our manager and above population, and people of color
comprise 43% of all associates and 24% of our manager and above population. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, 43% of our new hires were female and 45% were people of color. We currently have six
active Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”): Together With Women, founded in 2019; and The Black
Collective, Juntos, GenNEXT, Open Invitation, and Asian Alliance, all founded in 2021. During 2021, 413
associates were members of at least one ERG.
16
In 2021, we created a DE&I framework, to be used as a roadmap to guide meaningful progress on our DE&I
journey through 2023. We also launched the iBelong, youBelong Commitment, which unified our approach to
creating a greater sense of belonging for all associates. As of December 31, 2021, 1,042 associates had signed the
commitment, symbolizing their intent to support our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
Our Chief Executive Officer joined the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion initiative in the fall of 2021
and personally pledged to continue to advance DE&I within our workplace. The scope of this pledge supports
equity for all, including ethnically or racially diverse persons, the LGBTQIA community, people with different
abilities, veterans, and women.
Our DE&I stance contributes to our overall business strategy and serves as a catalyst for retaining our
associates, recruiting diverse talent, and building beneficial business relationships with key stakeholders. This
business imperative will help us increase our workforce diversity, retain and upskill our talent, and enhance our
company’s culture. In turn, this will advance our standing as an employer of choice and one of the nation’s
leading home leasing companies. In 2021, we were recognized for our commitment to diversity, equity, and
inclusion as a Best Company for Diversity an Best Company for Women by Comparably and Top-Rated CEO for
Gender Diversity by Fairygodboss.
We value continuous dialogue with our associates. We launched our continuous listening associate survey
tool, Our Family. Your Voice., in May 2020 and experienced an initial participation rate of 94%, well above the
87% benchmark. As expected, our first full year participation rate of 84% in 2021 settled closer to the
benchmark. This participation provides managers with actionable feedback on several key engagement
dimensions. We believe meaningful actions based on associate feedback gleaned in the monthly survey will
continue to result in ongoing high engagement with our associates as evidenced by our strong associate Net
Promoter Score of 61, compared to a benchmark of 26.
We prioritize ensuring our associates are recognized for their efforts and feel valued for the work they do. In
2021, we launched a new recognition program called Because of You, celebrating the impact our associates make
on a day-to-day basis and recognizing milestone work anniversaries.
We recognize the value of providing regular development opportunities for our associates and helping them
advance their skills and knowledge. In 2021, we launched a career growth philosophy, a career growth and
development framework, and a leadership behaviors model. We also conduct an annual mandatory compliance
training campaign and offer a robust catalog of online learning and development videos designed to help
associates build their skills.
We are committed to accelerating the development of our leaders through various programs such as our
“Leadership Essentials” program, which is designed to build capable and confident leaders that can lead and
inspire a diverse workforce in an ever-changing environment. As part of our Leadership Essentials training and
our commitment to DE&I, we include both DE&I and Awareness of Unconscious Bias training for our leaders.
This commitment to leadership development resulted in Invitation Homes being recognized in 2021 as Best
Company in Leadership by Comparably.
We believe that competitive compensation and benefits are a key pillar to associate attraction, retention,
motivation, and engagement. In early 2021, as part of Total Value, our holistic approach to total rewards, we
established and rolled out a compensation structure to provide consistency, clarity, and transparency around
compensation and how each associate’s role fits into the broader organization.
We take a wide variety of steps to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our associates. We continue to
enhance and improve our health and safety processes to reduce on-the-job injuries and review and monitor our
performance monthly. Our goal is to reduce Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordable incidents
each year; and over the past three years, our workplace safety programs have successfully reduced annual
17
on-the-job injuries from 41 to 37, or 9.8%. We continue to conduct monthly safety training for our maintenance
associates and a regular driving safety training for our fleet drivers covering topics like defensive driving
techniques and vehicle condition and safety features. We regularly update our COVID-19 “Safe Work Playbook”
which outline protocols for our offices and associates regarding pandemic-related safety behaviors. While we
have officially re-opened all of our offices to associates, many of our office-based associates continue to work
from home under our myFlexibility program launched in the spring of 2021.
We believe it is critically important to maintain a corporate culture that demands integrity and reflects
ethical values. Everyone who works at or with Invitation Homes should feel confident about our high ethical
standards, our honesty, and our integrity. We maintain a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of
Conduct”) that is applicable to all of our directors, officers, and associates. The Code of Conduct helps guide us
as we collaborate to accomplish our goals together, while holding ourselves individually responsible for our work
and accountable for our actions. Our Vendor Code of Conduct is an extension of our values to our vendors and
serves to highlight our commitment to ethical business practices and regulatory compliance.
Communities
Being a good neighbor is critical in the communities where we do business. This includes volunteering in
our local communities and contributing dollars to non-profit organizations doing good in our markets. It also
involves the full economic impact of our business on the community, through home renovations completed by
local vendors, payment of real estate taxes and HOA fees and dues, and locally purchased goods and services.
We recognize that the vitality of our business is directly linked to the vitality of the communities in which we
operate. We invest in upfront renovations of our homes and maintain them to high standards through timely
maintenance services. As of December 31, 2021, we and our predecessors have invested approximately
$2.5 billion in the upfront renovation of homes in our portfolio. We invested approximately $35,000 per home
for upfront renovations completed during the year ended December 31, 2021. Further, we maintain our homes to
high standards through timely maintenance services as well as through our proprietary ProCare service. We
believe that these investments benefit our communities by creating jobs, enhancing neighborhood appearance and
livability, and improving the overall quality of life for our residents and their neighbors. In addition, we believe
such investments improve our relationships with local communities and HOAs and enhance our brand
recognition and loyalty.
We believe our values of Genuine Care and Standout Citizenship should extend beyond the walls of our
offices and drive our desire to be a good neighbor in each of our communities. In 2021, we launched two major
community initiatives. Step Up, Stand Out encourages students to pursue high-demand and well-paid jobs in the
skilled trades and provides job-readiness training to help close the skills gap and broaden access to career
opportunities. We partnered with SkillsUSA for the educational component of this program, which we launched
in fall 2021 in Tampa, Florida, and Charlotte, North Carolina, with plans to expand across all 16 of our markets
over the next several years. We also launched our Green Spaces initiative, which is dedicated to the development
and improvement of outdoor community spaces in our markets. One early result of this initiative is Invitation
Homes’ three-year partnership to maintain, enhance, and expand the Hawes Trail System throughout Arizona.
We plan to pursue more partnerships like this to continue our investment in the communities where we operate
and expand our conservation efforts.
While we have a company-wide community impact mantra of “Go Do Good,” much of our community
engagement is locally driven. We believe in empowering our associates to make an impact in the communities
where they work and reside by partnering with local organizations to provide support to those in need. In
addition, each year Invitation Homes associates receive 20 hours of paid time to volunteer in their communities
and help their local neighbors. In 2021, our associates volunteered 13,196 work hours in their local communities.
While we began re-engaging through in-person volunteerism in 2021, a portion of our volunteerism continues to
be conducted virtually, as many of our nonprofit partners and local organizations offer virtual opportunities that
provide safe social distancing options while still enabling us to make an impact.
18
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of our associates, our residents, and our communities. We
are proud of how our team has responded, showing resilience, innovating in real time, and demonstrating the
tremendous value of our resident-centric business philosophy and commitment to community.
Governance and Ethical Business Practices
We strive every day to ensure that our actions result in value for the individuals and organizations that have
chosen to invest in our company, and we take that responsibility very seriously. We believe that ethical business
practices and sound governance promote the long-term interests of our shareholders, strengthen Board of
Directors and management accountability, and improve our standing as a trusted member of the communities we
serve. We are committed to the principles of good corporate governance and have implemented internal policies
and procedures to ensure that our governance practices are best in class and align our interests with those of our
shareholders.
We believe it is critically important to maintain a corporate culture that demands integrity and reflects our
ethical values. We are committed to operating at the highest level of ethical standards and serving as a
responsible fiduciary for our shareholders. Everyone who works at or with Invitation Homes should feel
confident about our high ethical standards, our honesty, and our integrity. Our daily decisions are driven by our
Code of Conduct posted on our website, which demonstrates our commitment to be a responsible corporate
citizen and a good business partner. The Code of Conduct is supported by associate conduct policies and
programs and reinforced through regular associate training. We have zero tolerance in relation to illegal or
unethical conduct, and this is articulated in our relevant policies, including policies on conflicts of interest, gifts
and entertainment, fraud, sanctions, outside activities, political contributions, and bribery and corruption.
Our confidential compliance hotline is a critical part of our ethics and compliance program. The hotline is
available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is operated by a third-party compliance management provider,
enabling automated and anonymous reporting. We have implemented a “whistleblower” policy that allows our
associates to file reports regarding any impropriety on a confidential and anonymous basis and establishes
comprehensive procedures for the receipt, retention, investigation, and treatment of reports. The reports are
reviewed with our Audit Committee at meetings throughout the year. Neither our company, nor any director,
officer, employee, contractor, subcontractor, or agent of the company will, directly or indirectly, discharge,
demote, suspend, threaten, harass, or in any manner discriminate or retaliate against any person who, in good
faith, makes a report or assists in investigating a report.
Risk Management
Our Board of Directors and management believe that effective risk management involves our entire
corporate governance framework. Both the Board of Directors and management have key responsibilities in
managing risk throughout the Company. Our Board of Directors provides overall risk oversight, both directly and
through its committees, to help management identify and assess the major risks our Company faces and to
develop policies and procedures for monitoring and controlling such risks. Management is responsible for the
day-to-day management of risk, including implementation of appropriate risk management strategies and
integration of risk management into our decision-making process. Members of the Board of Directors regularly
meet with members of management and other key associates who advise the directors on areas of enterprise risk,
risk mitigation, response strategies, and any incidents that have arisen.
We face various forms of risk in our business ranging from broad economic, including those relating to the
ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, housing market, and interest rate risks, to more specific factors,
such as credit risk related to our residents, re-leasing of properties, and competition for properties. We believe
that the systems and processes developed by our experienced executive team, with the strategic counsel and
stewardship of our Board of Directors, allow us to effectively monitor, manage, and ultimately mitigate these
risks.
19
We seek to maximize revenue collections through our robust, standardized resident screening process
(which includes credit checks, evaluations of household income, and criminal background checks), as well as by
utilizing an online resident payment portal, which includes an auto-pay feature, to facilitate the electronic
collection of a majority of our rental payments. In addition, we track resident delinquency on a daily basis and
assess any late fees promptly in accordance with the terms of our lease (typically between the third and fifth
calendar day of the month).
Our operations are also highly dependent upon information systems that support our business processes.
Cyber intrusions could seriously compromise our networks and the information stored therein could be accessed,
publicly disclosed, misused, lost, or stolen. In the face of ever-changing and increasing cyber threats, our Board
of Directors is well-positioned to guide management in the development of an effective cybersecurity risk
program for our Company. The Board of Directors or its Audit Committee typically meets no less often than
semi-annually with senior information technology associates to discuss recent trends in cyber risks and reviews
our strategy to defend our business systems and information against cyber attacks.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to present material uncertainty and risk with respect to our
business and results of operations. As such, we are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects
of our business, including operating, investment management, and capital markets activities, and will continue to
actively manage our response in collaboration with our residents and business partners. The extent to which the
COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our operations depends on ongoing developments, which remain highly
uncertain, including the scope, duration, and severity of COVID-19 and its variants, the availability, distribution,
and efficacy of vaccines and therapeutic drugs, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic,
containment measures, monetary and/or fiscal policies implemented to provide support or relief to businesses
and/or residents, and other government, regulatory, and/or legislative measures. For more information on risks
related to COVID-19, see Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected by pandemics
and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
Climate change continues to attract considerable public, political, and scientific attention. Experiencing or
addressing the various physical, regulatory, and adaptation/transition risks of climate change may affect our
profitability. For additional information about our risks related to climate change, see Part II. Item 7.
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Overview.”
Insurance
We maintain property, casualty, and corporate-level insurance coverage related to our business, including
general liability, business auto, umbrella, commercial crime, directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability,
cyber liability, employment practices liability, and workers’ compensation insurance. We believe the policy
specifications and insured limits under our insurance program are appropriate and adequate for our business and
properties given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, and industry practice. However, our insurance
coverage is subject to deductibles and coverage exclusions, and we are self-insured up to the amount of such
deductibles and exclusions. See Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry —
We may suffer losses that are not covered by insurance.”
Systems and Technology
Effective systems and technology are essential components of our business. To ensure scalability to
accommodate continued growth in our portfolio of single-family homes for lease, we have made significant
investments in the lease management, construction management, property and corporate accounting, and asset
management systems used to operate our business. In addition to vigilant oversight over our core platform, we
are now focused on advancing cloud-based digital technologies for both our residents and our associates. Our
website is fully integrated into our resident accounting and leasing system. From our website, which is accessible
20
from mobile devices, prospective residents can browse homes available for lease, take virtual tours, request
additional information, and apply to lease a specific home. Through online resident portals and native mobile
applications, existing residents can set up automatic payments and request maintenance service. Our associates
can support and manage resident requests for critical functions such as leasing and maintenance through
easy-to-use digital tools. Our system is designed to handle the accounting requirements of residential property
accounting, including accounting for security deposits and payment of property-level expenses. The system also
interfaces with our third party resident screening vendor partner to expedite evaluations of prospective residents’
rental applications. We have worked with a search engine optimization firm to ensure we place high in search
engine results and will continue to monitor our placement on search engines. In addition, sponsored key words
are generally purchased in selected markets as needed.
We rely on technology systems across our operations that integrate with various third party vendors for
services. The failure of these systems or services to execute at subscribed levels could adversely impact our
business. We proactively engage with our third party vendor about service delivery and actively use security risk
management controls to mitigate any negative impact on our business. For more information on the risks related
to our use of technology, see Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Business and Industry —
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability,
which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.”
Competition
We face competition from different sources in each of our two primary activities: acquiring and leasing our
properties. We believe our competitors in acquiring properties for investment purposes are individual investors,
small private investment partnerships looking for one-off acquisitions of investment properties that can either be
leased or restored and sold, and larger investors, including private equity funds and other REITs, that are seeking
to capitalize on the same market opportunity that we have identified. Our primary competitors in acquiring
portfolios include large and small private equity investors, public and private REITs, and other sizable private
institutional investors. These same competitors may also compete with us for residents. Competition may
increase the prices for properties that we would like to purchase, reduce the amount of rent we may charge for
our properties, reduce the occupancy of our portfolio, and adversely impact our ability to achieve attractive total
returns. However, we believe that our acquisition platform, our extensive in-market property operations
infrastructure, and local expertise in our markets provide us with competitive advantages.
Seasonality
Our business and related operating results have been, and we believe will continue to be, impacted by
seasonal factors throughout the year. In particular, we have experienced higher levels of resident move-outs
during the summer months, which impacts both our rental revenues and related turnover costs. Further, our
property operating costs are seasonally impacted in certain markets by increases in expenses such as HVAC
repairs and costs to re-resident during the summer season.
Regulation
General
Our business operations and properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances, and rules. We
believe that we are in material compliance with such covenants, laws, ordinances, and rules, and we also require
that our residents agree to comply with such covenants, laws, ordinances, and rules in their leases with us.
Fair Housing Act
The Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and its state law counterparts, and the regulations promulgated by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development and various state agencies, prohibit discrimination in
21
housing on the basis of race or color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the
age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women, and people in the process of adopting a child
or securing custody of children under the age of 18), disability or, in some states, financial capability. We train
our associates on a regular basis regarding such laws and regulations and we believe that our properties are in
compliance with the FHA and other such regulations.
Municipal Regulations and Homeowners’ Associations
Our properties are subject to various municipal regulations and orders, and county and city ordinances,
including without limitation, use, operation and maintenance of our properties. Certain of our properties are
subject to the rules of the various HOAs where such properties are located. HOA rules and regulations are
commonly referred to as “covenants, conditions and restrictions,” or CC&Rs, and typically consist of various
restrictions or guidelines regarding use and maintenance of the property, including, among others, noise
restrictions or guidelines as to how many cars may be parked on the property.
Broker Licensure
We own internal brokerages to serve each state in which we operate and primarily utilize in-market leasing
experience specialists to drive a better end-to-end resident experience that achieves our occupancy, revenue, and
retention goals while facilitating enjoyment of our worry-free leasing lifestyle. Our internal brokerages are
subject to numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations that govern the licensure of real estate brokers
and affiliate brokers and set forth standards for, and prohibitions on, the conduct of real estate brokers. Such
standards and prohibitions include, among others, those relating to fiduciary and agency duties, administration of
trust funds, collection of commissions, and advertising and consumer disclosures, as well as compliance with
federal, state, and local laws and programs for providing housing to low-income families. Under applicable state
law, we generally have a duty to supervise and are responsible for the conduct of our internal brokerages.
Environmental Matters
As a current or prior owner of real estate, we are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental
laws, regulations, and ordinances, and we could be liable to third parties as a result of environmental
contamination or noncompliance at our properties, even if we no longer own such properties. We are not aware
of any environmental matters that would have a material adverse effect on our financial position. See Part I.
Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Contingent or unknown liabilities
could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results.”
Laws and Regulations Regarding Privacy and Data Protection
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that involve matters such as privacy, data protection,
content, consumer protection, and other matters. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the
Nevada Privacy Law, which took effect in January 2020, establish certain transparency rules and create new data
privacy rights for users, including more ability to control how their data is shared with third parties. See Part I.
Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our business is subject to laws and
regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and other matters.” Many of these laws
and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our
business practices, monetary penalties, or other harm to our business and results of operations.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
22
Under the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we have determined that we have one reportable
segment related to acquiring, renovating, leasing, and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The
CODM evaluates operating performance and allocates resources on a total portfolio basis. The CODM utilizes
net operating income (“NOI”) as the primary measure to evaluate performance of the total portfolio. The
aggregation of individual homes constitutes the total portfolio. Decisions regarding acquisitions and dispositions
of homes are made at the individual home level with a focus on accretive growth in high-growth locations where
we have greater scale and density.
REIT Qualification
We have elected to qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes. So long as we qualify
as a REIT, we generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on net taxable income that we
distribute annually to our stockholders. To qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, we
must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the real estate qualification of sources of our
income, the composition and values of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders, and the diversity
of ownership of our stock. To comply with REIT requirements, we may need to forego otherwise attractive
opportunities and limit our expansion opportunities and the manner in which we conduct our operations.
Website and Availability of SEC filings
We file annual, quarterly, and current reports, proxy statements, and other information with the SEC. Our
SEC filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov.
We maintain an internet site at INVH.com, where we make our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act available free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after
they are filed with or furnished to the SEC. Our website and the information contained on or through that site are
not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We use our website INVH.com as a channel of
distribution of material company information. For example, financial and other material information regarding
our company is routinely posted on and accessible at INVH.com. Accordingly, investors should monitor the
website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts. In
addition, you may automatically receive email alerts and other information about Invitation Homes when you
enroll your email address by visiting the Email Notification section at INVH.com under the Investor Resources
tab. The contents of our website and social media channels are not, however, a part of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K and are not incorporated by reference herein.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The risk factors noted in this section and other factors noted throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K,
describe certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statement and should be considered carefully in evaluating our company and
our business. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair
our business operations. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been
heightened as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our operating results are subject to general economic conditions and risks associated with our real estate
assets.
Our operating results are subject to risks generally incident to the ownership and rental of residential real
estate, in many cases heightened as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (see “— Our business,
results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected by pandemics and
outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic”), many of which are beyond
our control, including, without limitation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates, slower growth, or
recession;
changes in national, regional, or local economic, demographic, or real estate market conditions;
changes in job markets and employment levels on a national, regional, and local basis;
declines in the value of residential real estate;
overall conditions in the housing market, including:
• macroeconomic shifts in demand for rental homes;
•
•
•
•
•
inability to lease or re-lease homes to residents on a timely basis, on attractive terms or at all;
failure of residents to pay rent when due or otherwise perform their lease obligations;
unanticipated repairs, capital expenditures, weather related damages, or other costs;
uninsured damages; and
increases in property taxes, HOA fees, and insurance costs;
level of competition for suitable rental homes;
terms and conditions of purchase contracts;
costs and time period required to convert acquisitions to rental homes;
changes in the terms or availability of financing that may render the acquisition of any homes difficult
or unattractive;
the liquidity of real estate investments, generally;
the short-term nature of most residential leases and the costs and potential delays in re-leasing;
changes in laws, including those that increase operating expenses or limit our ability to increase rental
rates. See “— Tenant relief laws, including laws regulating evictions, rent control laws, and other
regulations that limit our ability to increase rental rates may negatively impact our rental income
and profitability”;
the impact of potential reforms relating to government-sponsored enterprises involved in the home
finance and mortgage markets;
24
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
rules, regulations and/or policy initiatives by government and private actors, including HOAs, to
discourage or restrict the purchase or operation of single-family properties by entities owned or
controlled by institutional investors;
the potential effects of climate change, related regulatory policies and/or investor responses and
expectations, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy;
disputes and potential negative publicity in connection with eviction proceedings;
construction of new supply;
costs resulting from the clean-up of, and liability to third parties for damages resulting from,
environmental problems, such as indoor mold;
fraud by borrowers, originators, and/or sellers of mortgage loans;
undetected deficiencies and/or inaccuracies in underlying mortgage loan documentation and
calculations;
casualty or condemnation losses;
the geographic mix of our properties;
the cost, quality, and condition of the properties we are able to acquire; and
our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance, and insurance.
Any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected by
pandemics and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
A significant outbreak of infectious disease or a pandemic may result in a widespread health crisis, which
has been the case for the currently ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and may lead to an economic downturn that
could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To the extent our current or
prospective residents experience unemployment, deteriorating financial conditions, and declines in household
income, they may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full on a timely basis or renew or enter into new leases for
our homes, and our revenues and operating results could be negatively affected.
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has led entities directed by, or notionally affiliated
with, the federal government as well as certain states, counties, and cities, including those in which we own
properties and where our principal places of business are located, to impose ongoing measures in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary eviction moratoriums if certain criteria are met by residents, deferral
of missed rent payments without incurring late fees, and restrictions on rent increases. Jurisdictions and other
local and national authorities may expand or extend measures imposing restrictions on our ability to enforce
residents’ contractual rental obligations and limiting our ability to collect and increase rents. While such
measures are likely to enable residents to stay in their homes despite an inability to pay because of financial or
other hardship stemming from the pandemic, they restrict our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for
failure to pay rent and are likely to result in loss of rental income and other property income. We continue to
work with residents experiencing financial hardship to find solutions that keep them in their homes. This includes
continuing to provide residents with information about rental assistance programs for which they may be eligible,
application instructions, necessary documentation, and owner requirements. We cannot predict if states,
municipalities, local, and/or national authorities will renew, extend, or expand existing restrictions, if additional
states or municipalities will implement similar restrictions, or when restrictions currently in place will expire. We
also cannot predict if the federal government, states, or local authorities will continue to offer rental assistance
programs to residents and landlords or if such programs will be available to our residents (and if they are
available, whether residents will take advantage of them).
25
Our residents’ inability or refusal to meet their lease obligations has reduced and may continue to reduce our
cash flows, and the resulting impact on rental and other property income could impact our ability to make all
required debt service payments and to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at expected levels or at all.
Additionally, prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures may also
continue to interfere with the ability of our suppliers and other business partners to carry out their assigned tasks
or supply materials, products, services, or funding (in the case of our revolving credit facility) at ordinary levels
of performance relative to the conduct of our business. The pandemic has also exacerbated many of the other
risks discussed in this “Risk Factors” section.
A general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions resulting from the COVID-19
pandemic, or a future pandemic, could adversely affect (1) our ability to acquire or dispose of single-family
homes on terms that are attractive or at all and (2) the value of our homes and our business such that we may
recognize impairment on the carrying value of our investments in single-family residential properties and other
assets subject to impairment review, including, but not limited to, goodwill.
An economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, and a disruption of,
and/or instability in, the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect
our access to capital necessary to fund business operations, including acquisitions, or address maturing liabilities
on a timely basis.
Our associates continue to face COVID-19 health risks. If a significant number of our associates, or if key
personnel, are unable to work as a result of COVID-19, or a future pandemic, this could adversely impact our
business and operating results. In addition, extended periods of remote work arrangements resulting from
outbreaks of infectious disease could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including,
but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.
In addition, we are experiencing disruptions from workforce turnover, due to a scarcity of talent, as
businesses emerging from the pandemic compete for personnel, and rising labor costs. Many of our positions
require specialized skill sets resulting in a longer than average time period to fill vacant positions. A sustained
labor shortage or increased employee turnover rate caused by COVID-19 or as a result of general
macroeconomic factors could lead to increased costs and increased wage rates to attract and retain associates.
Labor shortages and absenteeism associated with COVID-19 may also continue to interfere with the ability of
our associates to carry out their assigned tasks in a timely manner.
We are closely tracking developments regarding federal, state, or local vaccine mandates and testing
requirements. Although we cannot predict with certainty the impact that any potential vaccine mandates and any
other related measures may have on our workforce and operations, potential vaccine mandates’ compliance may
result in increased operating costs, loss of productivity, labor disruptions, or associate attrition.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our operations depends on ongoing
developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope,
duration, and severity of COVID-19 and the proliferation of variants, the extent and duration of actions taken to
contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the availability, distribution, acceptance, and efficacy of vaccines
and therapeutic drugs, the implementation of any federal, state, or local vaccine mandates, and the direct and
indirect economic effects of the pandemic, containment measures, monetary and/or fiscal policies implemented
to provide support or relief to businesses and/or residents, and other government, regulatory, and/or legislative
changes precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, among others.
Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows. While we have taken steps to mitigate the impact of the
pandemic on our results of operations, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.
26
We are employing a business model with a limited track record, which may make our business difficult to
evaluate.
Until recently, the single-family rental business was comprised primarily of private and individual investors
in local markets and was managed individually or by small, non-institutional owners and property managers. Our
business strategy involves purchasing, renovating, maintaining, and managing a large number of residential
properties and leasing them to qualified residents. Entry into this market by large, well-capitalized investors is a
relatively recent trend, so few peer companies exist and none have yet established long-term track records that
might assist us in predicting whether our business model and investment strategy can be implemented and
sustained over an extended period of time. It may be difficult for you to evaluate our potential future
performance without the benefit of established long-term track records from companies implementing a similar
business model. We may encounter unanticipated problems as we continue to refine our business model, which
may adversely affect our results of operations and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and cause our
stock price to decline significantly.
We have a limited operating history and may not be able to operate our business successfully or generate
sufficient cash flows to make or sustain distributions to our stockholders.
We have a limited operating history. As a result, an investment in our common stock may entail more risk
than an investment in the common stock of a real estate company with a substantial operating history. If we are
unable to operate our business successfully, we would not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to make or
sustain distributions to our stockholders, and you could lose all or a portion of the value of your ownership in our
common stock. Our ability to successfully operate our business and implement our operating policies and
investment strategy depends on many factors, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
our ability to effectively manage renovation, maintenance, marketing, and other operating costs for our
properties;
economic conditions in our markets, including changes in employment and household earnings and
expenses, as well as the condition of the financial and real estate markets and the economy, in general;
our ability to maintain high occupancy rates and target rent levels;
the availability of, and our ability to identify, attractive acquisition opportunities consistent with our
investment strategy;
our ability to compete with other investors entering the single-family rental industry;
costs that are beyond our control, including title litigation, litigation with residents or tenant
organizations, legal compliance, property taxes, HOA fees, and insurance;
judicial and regulatory developments affecting landlord-tenant relations that may affect or delay our
ability to dispossess or evict occupants or increase rental rates;
reversal of population, employment, or homeownership trends in our markets; and
interest rate levels and volatility, which may affect the accessibility of short-term and long-term
financing on desirable terms.
In addition, we face significant competition in acquiring attractive properties on advantageous terms, and
the value of the properties that we acquire may decline substantially after we purchase them.
27
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, and any failure to do so may have an adverse effect on
our business and operating results.
Since commencing operations in 2012, we have grown rapidly, assembling a portfolio of over 80,000 homes
as of December 31, 2021. Our future operating results may depend on our ability to effectively manage our
growth, which is dependent, in part, upon our ability to:
•
•
•
•
stabilize and manage an increasing number of properties and resident relationships across our
geographically dispersed portfolio while maintaining a high level of resident satisfaction and building
and enhancing our brand;
identify and supervise a number of suitable third parties on which we rely to provide certain services
outside of property management to our properties;
attract, integrate, and retain new management and operations associates; and
continue to improve our operational and financial controls and reporting procedures and systems.
We can provide no assurance that we will be able to manage our properties or grow our business efficiently
or effectively, or without incurring significant additional expenses. Any failure to do so may have an adverse
effect on our business and operating results.
A significant portion of our costs and expenses are fixed, and we may not be able to adapt our cost structure to
offset declines in our revenue.
Many of the expenses associated with our business, such as property taxes, HOA fees, insurance, utilities,
acquisition, renovation and maintenance costs, and other general corporate expenses are relatively inflexible and
will not necessarily decrease with a reduction in revenue from our business. Some components of our fixed assets
depreciate more rapidly and require ongoing capital expenditures. Our expenses and ongoing capital expenditures
are also affected by inflationary increases, and certain of our cost increases may exceed the rate of inflation in
any given period or market. Our rental income is affected by many factors beyond our control, such as the
availability of alternative rental housing and economic conditions in our markets. In addition, state and local
regulations may require us to maintain properties that we own, even if the cost of maintenance is greater than the
value of the property or any potential benefit from renting the property, or pass regulations that limit our ability
to increase rental rates. As a result, we may not be able to fully offset rising costs and capital spending by
increasing rental rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash available
for distribution.
Increasing property taxes, HOA fees, and insurance costs may negatively affect our financial results.
As a result of our substantial real estate holdings, the cost of property taxes and insuring our properties is a
significant component of our expenses. Our properties are subject to real and personal property taxes that may
increase as tax rates change and as the real properties are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. As the
owner of our properties, we are responsible for payment of the taxes to the applicable government authorities. If
real property taxes increase, our expenses will increase. If we fail to pay any such taxes, the applicable taxing
authority may place a lien on the real property and the real property may be subject to a tax sale.
In addition, a significant portion of our properties are located within HOAs and we are subject to HOA rules
and regulations. HOAs have the power to increase monthly charges and make assessments for capital
improvements and common area repairs and maintenance. Property taxes, HOA fees, and insurance premiums
are subject to significant increases, which can be outside of our control. If the costs associated with property
taxes, HOA fees and assessments, or insurance rise significantly and we are unable to increase rental rates due to
rent control laws or other regulations to offset such increases, our results of operations would be negatively
affected.
28
Inflation could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Inflation, which increased significantly during 2021, has adversely affected us by increasing the costs of
products, materials, and labor needed to operate our business and could continue to adversely affect us in future
periods. In an inflationary environment, we may not be able to raise rents sufficiently to keep up with the rate of
inflation. Actions by the government to stimulate the economy may increase the risk of significant inflation,
which may have an adverse impact on our business or financial results.
We recorded net losses in the past and we may experience net losses in the future.
We recorded consolidated net losses for the year ended December 31, 2018. These net losses were inclusive
in each period of significant non-cash charges, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization expense.
We expect such non-cash charges to continue to be significant in future periods and, as a result, we may record
net losses in future periods.
We are dependent on our executive officers and dedicated associates, and the departure of any of our key
associates could materially and adversely affect us. We also face intense competition for the employment of
highly skilled managerial, investment, financial, and operational associates. Additionally, our results of
operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases.
We rely on a small number of persons to carry out our business and investment strategies, and the loss of the
services of any of our key management associates, or our inability to recruit and retain qualified associates in the
future, could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
In addition, the implementation of our business plan may require that we employ additional qualified
associates. Competition for highly skilled managerial, investment, financial, and operational associates is intense.
As additional large real estate investors enter into and expand their scale within the single-family rental business,
we have faced increased challenges in hiring and retaining associates, and we cannot assure our stockholders that
we will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled associates. If we are unable to hire and retain
qualified associates as required, our growth and operating results could be adversely affected.
Our ability to meet our labor needs while controlling our labor costs is subject to numerous external factors,
including unemployment levels, prevailing wage rates, changing demographics, and changes in employment
legislation. High unemployment levels and federal unemployment subsidies, including unemployment benefits
offered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, may have adversely affected the labor force available to us or
increased labor costs. We are also experiencing and may continue to experience additional pressure due to labor
shortages and absenteeism associated with COVID-19, together with the impact of the continued elevated
demand. If we are unable to retain qualified associates or our labor costs increase significantly, our business
operations and our financial performance could be adversely impacted.
Our investments are and will continue to be concentrated in our markets and in the single-family properties
sector of the real estate industry, which exposes us to seasonal fluctuations in rental demand and downturns
in our markets or in the single-family properties sector.
Our investments in real estate assets are and will continue to be concentrated in our markets and in the
single-family properties sector of the real estate industry. A downturn or slowdown in the rental demand for
single-family housing caused by adverse economic, regulatory, or environmental conditions, or other events, in
our markets may have a greater impact on the value of our properties or our operating results than if we had more
fully diversified our investments. We believe that there are seasonal fluctuations in rental demand with demand
higher in the spring and summer than in the late fall and winter. Such seasonal fluctuations may impact our
operating results.
In addition to general, regional, national, and international economic conditions, our operating performance
will be impacted by the economic conditions in our markets. We base a substantial part of our business plan on
our belief that property values and operating fundamentals for single-family properties in our markets will
29
continue to improve over the near to intermediate term. However, these markets have experienced substantial
economic downturns in recent years and could experience similar or worse economic downturns in the future.
We can provide no assurance as to the extent property values and operating fundamentals in these markets will
improve, if at all. If an economic downturn in these markets occurs or if we fail to accurately predict the timing
of economic improvement in these markets, the value of our properties could decline and our ability to execute
our business plan may be adversely affected to a greater extent than if we owned a real estate portfolio that was
more geographically diversified, which could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and
ability to make distributions to our stockholders and cause the value of our common stock to decline.
We may not be able to effectively control the timing and costs relating to the renovation and maintenance of
our properties, which may adversely affect our operating results and ability to make distributions to our
stockholders.
Nearly all of our properties require some level of renovation either immediately upon their acquisition or in
the future following expiration of a lease or otherwise. We may acquire properties that we plan to renovate
extensively. We may also acquire properties that we expect to be in good condition only to discover unforeseen
defects and problems that require extensive renovation and capital expenditures. To the extent properties are
leased to existing residents, renovations may be postponed until the resident vacates the premises, and we will
pay the costs of renovating. In addition, from time to time, we may perform ongoing maintenance or make
ongoing capital improvements and replacements and perform significant renovations and repairs that resident
deposits and insurance may not cover. Because our portfolio consists of geographically dispersed properties, our
ability to adequately monitor or manage any such renovations or maintenance may be more limited or subject to
greater inefficiencies than if our properties were more geographically concentrated.
Our properties have infrastructure and appliances of varying ages and conditions. Consequently, we
routinely retain independent contractors and trade professionals to perform physical repair work and are exposed
to all of the risks inherent in property renovation and maintenance, including potential cost overruns, increases in
labor and materials costs, delays by contractors in completing work, delays in the timing of receiving necessary
work permits, delays in receiving materials, fixtures, or appliances, certificates of occupancy, and poor
workmanship. We have seen a prolonged impact from the pandemic on our industry and business, affecting the
ability of our associates, suppliers, and other business partners to carry out their assigned tasks, provide services,
or supply materials at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of our business due to labor
shortages and supply chain disruptions, among other challenges. In addition, we are experiencing disruptions
from workforce turnover, affecting the renovation and maintenance of our properties, as businesses emerging
from the pandemic compete for personnel. Many of our positions require specialized skill sets resulting in a
longer than average time period to fill position vacancies. If our assumptions regarding the costs or timing of
renovation and maintenance across our properties prove to be materially inaccurate, our operating results and
ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected.
We face significant competition in the leasing market for quality residents, which may limit our ability to lease
our single-family homes on favorable terms.
We depend on rental income from residents for substantially all of our revenues. As a result, our success
depends in large part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified residents for our properties. We face
competition for residents from other lessors of single-family properties, apartment buildings, and condominium
units. Competing properties may be newer, better located, and more attractive to residents. Potential competitors
may have lower rates of occupancy than we do or may have superior access to capital and other resources, which
may result in competing owners more easily locating residents and leasing available housing at lower rental rates
than we might offer at our homes. Many of these competitors may successfully attract residents with better
incentives and amenities, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain quality residents and lease our single-
family properties on favorable terms. Additionally, some competing housing options may qualify for government
subsidies that may make such options more accessible and therefore more attractive than our properties. This
competition may affect our ability to attract and retain residents and may reduce the rental rates we are able to
charge.
30
In addition, increases in unemployment levels and other adverse changes in economic conditions in our
markets may adversely affect the creditworthiness of potential residents, which may decrease the overall number
of qualified residents for our properties within such markets. We could also be adversely affected by
overbuilding or high vacancy rates of homes in our markets, which could result in an excess supply of homes and
reduce occupancy and rental rates. Continuing development of apartment buildings and condominium units in
many of our markets will increase the supply of housing and exacerbate competition for residents.
In addition, improving economic conditions, along with the availability of low residential mortgage interest
rates and government sponsored programs to promote home ownership, have made home ownership more
accessible for potential renters who have strong credit. These factors may encourage potential renters to purchase
residences rather than lease them, thereby causing a decline in the number and quality of potential residents
available to us.
No assurance can be given that we will be able to attract and retain suitable residents. If we are unable to
lease our homes to suitable residents, we would be adversely affected and the value of our common stock could
decline.
We intend to continue to acquire properties from time to time consistent with our investment strategy even if
the rental and housing markets are not as favorable as they have been in the recent past, which could
adversely impact anticipated yields.
We intend to continue to acquire properties from time to time consistent with our investment strategy, even
if the rental and housing markets are not as favorable as they have been in the recent past. Future acquisitions of
properties may be more costly than those we have acquired previously. The following factors, among others, may
make acquisitions more expensive:
•
•
•
•
•
improvements in the overall economy and employment levels;
greater availability of consumer credit;
improvements in the pricing and terms of mortgages;
the emergence of increased competition for single-family properties from private investors and entities
with similar investment objectives to ours; and
tax or other government incentives that encourage homeownership.
A general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our
ability to acquire or dispose of single-family homes on terms that are attractive or at all.
We plan to continue acquiring properties as long as we believe such properties offer an attractive total return
opportunity. Accordingly, future acquisitions may have lower yield characteristics than recent past and present
opportunities and, if such future acquisitions are funded through equity issuances, the yield and distributable cash
per share will be reduced, and the value of our common stock may decline.
Competition in identifying and acquiring our properties could adversely affect our ability to implement our
business and growth strategies, which could materially and adversely affect us.
In acquiring our properties, we compete with a variety of institutional investors, including other REITs,
specialty finance companies, public and private funds, savings and loan associations, banks, mortgage bankers,
insurance companies, institutional investors, investment banking firms, financial institutions, governmental
bodies, and other entities. We also compete with individual private home buyers and small-scale investors.
Certain of our competitors may be larger in certain of our markets and may have greater financial or other
resources than we do. Some competitors may have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that may
not be available to us. In addition, any potential competitor may have higher risk tolerances or different risk
31
assessments and may not be subject to the operating constraints associated with qualification for taxation as a
REIT, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments. Competition may result in fewer
investments, higher prices, a broadly dispersed portfolio of properties that does not lend itself to efficiencies of
concentration, acceptance of greater risk, lower yields and a narrower spread of yields over our financing costs.
In addition, competition for desirable investments could delay the investment of our capital, which could
adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to identify and finance investments that are consistent with our investment objectives or to achieve positive
investment results, and our failure to accomplish any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on us
and cause the value of our common stock to decline.
Compliance with governmental laws, regulations, and covenants that are applicable to our properties or that
may be passed in the future, including affordability covenants, permit, license, and zoning requirements, may
adversely affect our ability to make future acquisitions, renovations, or dispositions, result in significant costs,
delays, or losses, and adversely affect our growth strategy.
Rental homes are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulatory requirements, including
permitting, licensing, and zoning requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances,
restrictions, and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties
and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with
respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring any of our properties or when undertaking renovations of
any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic,
asbestos-cleanup, or hazardous material abatement requirements. Such local regulations may cause us to incur
additional costs to renovate or maintain our properties in accordance with the particular rules and regulations.
Additionally, state and local agencies may place affordability covenants on certain properties to ensure that they
are used to provide affordable housing for persons or families of lower income. If any of our properties contain
affordability covenants recorded in their chains of title, we will be forced to sell such properties at a maximum
price limit as calculated per the applicable affordable housing covenant, which will likely result in us having to
sell such properties below their market values. Our properties are also subject to federal, state, and local
accessibility requirements, including and in addition to those imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act and
the Fair Housing Act.
Any violation by us of the laws and regulations we are subject to could lead to significant fines or penalties
and could limit our ability to conduct business. We cannot assure you that existing regulatory policies will not
adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions, renovations, or dispositions, or that additional
regulations will not be adopted that would increase such delays or result in additional costs or losses. Our
business and growth strategies may be materially and adversely affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses
and approvals. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses, and approvals could have a material adverse effect on
us and cause the value of our common stock to decline.
Tenant relief laws, including laws regulating evictions, rent control laws, and other regulations that limit our
ability to increase rental rates may negatively impact our rental income and profitability.
As the landlord of numerous properties, we are involved from time to time in evicting residents who are not
paying their rent or who are otherwise in material violation of the terms of their lease. Eviction activities impose
legal and managerial expenses that raise our costs and expose us to potential negative publicity. The eviction
process is typically subject to legal barriers, mandatory “cure” policies, our internal policies and procedures, and
other sources of expense and delay, each of which may delay our ability to gain possession and stabilize the
property. Additionally, state and local landlord-tenant laws may impose legal duties to assist residents in
relocating to new housing, or restrict the landlord’s ability to remove the resident on a timely basis or to recover
certain costs or charge residents for damage residents cause to the landlord’s premises. Because such laws vary
by state and locality, we must be familiar with and take all appropriate steps to comply with all applicable
landlord-tenant laws, and need to incur supervisory and legal expenses to ensure such compliance. To the extent
that we do not comply with state or local laws, we may be subjected to civil litigation filed by individuals, in
32
class actions or actions by state or local law enforcement and our reputation and financial results may suffer. We
may be required to pay our adversaries’ litigation fees and expenses if judgment is entered against us in such
litigation or if we settle such litigation.
Furthermore, state and local governmental agencies may introduce rent control laws or other regulations that
limit our ability to increase rental rates, which may affect our rental income. Especially in times of recession and
economic slowdown, rent control initiatives can amass significant political support. If rent controls unexpectedly
became applicable to certain of our properties, our revenue from and the value of such properties could be
adversely affected.
For example, in 2019, the state of California passed the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, a rent control law
which limits our ability to increase rental rates for existing residents and put into place protections for the
terminations of tenancies. We believe this law negatively affects our rental income from certain of the 12,280
homes we own in California as of December 31, 2021.
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has led entities directed by, or notionally affiliated
with, the federal government as well as certain states, counties, and cities, including those in which we own
properties and where our principal places of business are located, to impose ongoing measures in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary eviction moratoriums if certain criteria are met by residents, deferral
of missed rent payments without incurring late fees, and restrictions on rent increases. Jurisdictions and other
local and national authorities may expand or extend measures imposing restrictions on our ability to enforce
residents’ contractual rental obligations and limiting our ability to collect and increase rents. While such
measures are likely to enable residents to stay in their homes despite an inability to pay because of financial or
other hardship stemming from the pandemic, they restrict our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for
failure to pay rent and are likely to result in loss of rental income and other property income. We cannot predict if
states, municipalities, local, and/or national authorities will renew, extend, or expand existing restrictions, if
additional states or municipalities will implement similar restrictions, or when restrictions currently in place will
expire. See “— Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely
affected by pandemics and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
We may become a target of legal demands, litigation (including class actions), and negative publicity by tenant
and consumer rights organizations, which could directly limit and constrain our operations and may result in
significant litigation expenses and reputational harm.
Numerous tenant rights and consumer rights organizations exist throughout the country and operate in our
markets, and we may attract attention from some of these organizations and become a target of legal demands,
litigation, and negative publicity. Many such consumer organizations have become more active and better funded
in connection with mortgage foreclosure-related issues; and with the increased market for homes arising from
displaced homeownership, some of these organizations may shift their litigation, lobbying, fundraising, and grass
roots organizing activities to focus on landlord-resident issues. While we intend to conduct our business lawfully
and in compliance with applicable landlord-tenant and consumer laws, such organizations might work in
conjunction with trial and pro bono lawyers in one or multiple states to attempt to bring claims against us on a
class action basis for damages or injunctive relief and to seek to publicize our activities in a negative light. We
cannot anticipate what form such legal actions might take or what remedies they may seek.
Additionally, such organizations may lobby local county and municipal attorneys or state attorneys general
to pursue enforcement or litigation against us, may lobby state and local legislatures to pass new laws and
regulations to constrain or limit our business operations, adversely impact our business, or may generate negative
publicity for our business and harm our reputation. If they are successful in any such endeavors, they could
directly limit and constrain our operations and may impose on us significant litigation expenses, including
settlements to avoid continued litigation or judgments for damages or injunctions.
33
Our business is subject to laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and
other matters. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and
could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, or otherwise harm our business.
We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations that involve matters such as: privacy; data protection;
personal information; rights of publicity; content; marketing; distribution; data security; data retention and
deletion; electronic contracts and other communications; consumer protection; and online payment services.
These laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. As a result, the
application, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws and regulations are often uncertain and may be
interpreted and applied inconsistently. Additionally, as we depend on third parties for key services (see “— Our
dependence upon third parties for key services may have an adverse effect on our operating results or
reputation if the third parties fail to perform”), we rely on such third party service providers’ compliance with
laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and other matters relating to our
customers.
There are a number of legislative proposals at both the federal and state level, as well as other jurisdictions
that could impose new obligations in areas affecting our business. We are subject to numerous, complex, and
frequently changing laws, regulations, and contractual obligations designed to protect personal information.
Various federal and state privacy and data security laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and
Nevada Privacy Law, or other regulatory standards create data privacy rights for users, including more ability to
control how their data is shared with third parties. These laws and regulations, as well as any associated inquiries
or investigations or any other government actions, may be costly to comply with, result in negative publicity,
require significant management time and attention, and subject us to remedies that may harm our business,
including fines or demands or orders that we modify or cease existing business practices.
Our evaluation of properties involves a number of assumptions that may prove inaccurate, which could result
in us paying too much for properties we acquire and/or overvaluing our properties or our properties failing to
perform as we expect.
We are authorized to follow a broad investment policy established by our board of directors and subject to
implementation by our management. Our board of directors periodically reviews and updates the investment
policy and also reviews our portfolio of residential real estate, but it generally does not review or approve
specific property acquisitions. Our success depends on our ability to acquire properties that can be quickly
possessed, renovated, repaired, upgraded, and rented with minimal expense and maintained in quality condition.
In determining whether a particular property meets our investment criteria, we also make a number of
assumptions, including, among other things, assumptions related to estimated time of possession and estimated
renovation costs and time frames, annual operating costs, market rental rates and potential rent amounts, time
from purchase to leasing, and resident default rates. These assumptions may prove inaccurate, particularly since
the properties that we acquire vary materially in terms of time to possession, renovation, quality and type of
construction, geographic location, and hazards. As a result, we may pay too much for properties we acquire and/
or overvalue our properties, or our properties may fail to perform as anticipated. Adjustments to the assumptions
we make in evaluating potential purchases may result in fewer properties qualifying under our investment
criteria, including assumptions related to our ability to lease properties we have purchased.
Our dependence upon third parties for key services may have an adverse effect on our operating results or
reputation if the third parties fail to perform.
Though we are internally managed, we use local and national third party vendors and service providers to
provide certain services for our properties. For example, we typically engage third party home improvement
professionals with respect to certain maintenance and specialty services, such as HVAC, roofing, painting, and
floor installations. Selecting, managing, and supervising these third party service providers requires significant
resources and expertise, and because our portfolio consists of geographically dispersed properties, our ability to
34
adequately select, manage, and supervise such third parties may be more limited or subject to greater
inefficiencies than if our properties were more geographically concentrated.
An overall labor shortage experienced by our vendors, lack of skilled labor, increased turnover, or labor
inflation, caused by COVID-19 or as a result of general macroeconomic factors, could have a material adverse
impact on our business, financial condition, or operating results. We have entered into a multi-year contract with
a third party vendor to provide certain services for our properties. Because of the large volume of services under
this contract, only a limited number of companies are capable of servicing our needs on this scale. Accordingly,
the inability or unwillingness of this vendor to continue to provide these services on acceptable terms or at all
could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We generally do not have exclusive or long-term contractual relationships with third party providers and we
can provide no assurance that we will have uninterrupted or unlimited access to their services. If we do not
select, manage, and supervise appropriate third parties to provide these services, our reputation and financial
results may suffer.
We rely on the systems of our third party service providers, their ability to perform key operations on our
behalf in a timely manner and in accordance with agreed levels of service, and their ability to attract and retain
sufficient qualified associates to perform our work. A failure in the systems of one of our third party service
providers, or their inability to perform in accordance with the terms of our contracts or to retain sufficient
qualified associates, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial
condition.
Notwithstanding our efforts to implement and enforce strong policies and practices regarding service
providers, we may not successfully detect and prevent fraud, misconduct, incompetence, or theft by our third
party service providers. In addition, any removal or termination of third party service providers would require us
to seek new vendors or providers, which would create delays and adversely affect our operations. Poor
performance by such third party service providers may reflect poorly on us and could significantly damage our
reputation among desirable residents. In the event of fraud or misconduct by a third party, we could also be
exposed to material liability and be held responsible for damages, fines, or penalties and our reputation may
suffer. In the event of failure by our general contractors to pay their subcontractors, our properties may be subject
to filings of mechanics or materialmen liens, which we may need to resolve to remain in compliance with certain
debt covenants, and for which indemnification from the general contractors may not be available.
Title defects could lead to material losses on our investments in our properties.
Our title to a property may be challenged for a variety of reasons, and in such instances title insurance may
not prove adequate. For example, while we do not lend to homeowners and accordingly do not foreclose on a
home, our title to properties we acquire at foreclosure auctions may be subject to challenge based on allegations
of defects in the foreclosure process undertaken by other parties. In addition, we have in the past, and may from
time to time in the future, acquire a number of our properties on an “as is” basis, at auctions or otherwise. When
acquiring properties on an “as is” basis, title commitments are often not available prior to purchase and title
reports or title information may not reflect all senior liens, which may increase the possibility of acquiring houses
outside predetermined acquisition and price parameters, purchasing residences with title defects and deed
restrictions, HOA restrictions on leasing, or purchasing the wrong residence without the benefit of title insurance
prior to closing. Although we use various policies, procedures, and practices to assess the state of title prior to
purchase and obtain title insurance if an acquired property is placed into a securitization facility in connection
with a mortgage loan financing, there can be no assurance that these policies and procedures will be effective,
which could lead to a material if not complete loss on our investment in such properties.
For properties we acquire at auction, we similarly may not obtain title insurance prior to purchase, and we
are not able to perform the type of title review that is customary in acquisitions of real property. As a result, our
35
knowledge of potential title issues will be limited, and title insurance protection may not be in place. This lack of
title knowledge and insurance protection may result in third parties having claims against our title to such
properties that may materially and adversely affect the values of the properties or call into question the validity of
our title to such properties. Without title insurance, we are fully exposed to, and would have to defend ourselves
against, such claims. Further, if any such claims are superior to our title to the property we acquired, we risk loss
of the property purchased.
Increased scrutiny of title matters could lead to legal challenges with respect to the validity of the sale. In
the absence of title insurance, the sale may be rescinded, and we may be unable to recover our purchase price,
resulting in a complete loss. Title insurance obtained subsequent to purchase offers little protection against
discoverable defects because they are typically excluded from such policies. In addition, any title insurance on a
property, even if acquired, may not cover all defects or the significant legal costs associated with obtaining clear
title.
Any of these risks could adversely affect our operating results, cash flows, and ability to make distributions
to our stockholders.
We are subject to certain risks associated with bulk portfolio acquisitions and dispositions and acquisitions
through an auction process.
We have acquired and disposed of, and may continue to acquire and dispose of, properties we acquire or sell
in bulk from or to other owners of single-family homes, banks, and loan servicers. When we purchase properties
in bulk or through an auction process, we often do not have the opportunity to conduct interior inspections or
conduct more than cursory exterior inspections on a portion of the properties, if at all. Such inspection processes
may fail to reveal major defects associated with such properties, which may cause the amount of time and cost
required to renovate and/or maintain such properties to substantially exceed our estimates. The costs involved in
locating and performing due diligence (when feasible) on portfolios of homes as well as negotiating and entering
into transactions with potential portfolio sellers could be significant, and there is a risk that either the seller may
withdraw from the entire transaction for failure to come to an agreement or the seller may not be willing to sell
us the bulk portfolio on terms that we view as favorable. In addition, a seller may require that a group of homes
be purchased as a package even though we may not want to purchase certain individual assets in the bulk
portfolio.
Bulk portfolio acquisitions are also more complex than single-family home acquisitions, and we may not be
able to implement this strategy successfully. With respect to auction process acquisitions, allegations of
deficiencies in auction practices could result in claims challenging the validity of some auctions, potentially
placing our claim of ownership to the properties at risk. Upon acquiring a new home, we may have to evict
residents who are in unlawful possession before we can secure possession and control of the home.
Moreover, to the extent the management and leasing of such properties has not been consistent with our
property management and leasing standards, we may be subject to a variety of risks, including risks relating to
the condition of the properties, the credit quality and employment stability of the residents, and compliance with
applicable laws, among others. In addition, financial and other information provided to us regarding such
portfolios during our due diligence may be inaccurate, and we may not discover such inaccuracies until it is too
late to seek remedies against such sellers. To the extent we pursue such remedies, we may not be able to
successfully prevail against the seller in an action seeking damages for such inaccuracies. If we conclude that
certain individual properties purchased in bulk portfolio sales do not fit our target investment criteria, we may
decide to sell, rather than renovate and lease, such properties, which could take an extended period of time and
may not result in a sale at an attractive price.
From time to time we engage in bulk portfolio dispositions of properties consistent with our business and
investment strategy. With respect to any such disposition, the purchaser may default on payment or otherwise
breach the terms of the relevant purchase agreement, and it may be difficult for us to pursue remedies against
36
such purchaser or retain or resume possession of the relevant properties. To the extent we pursue such remedies,
we may not be able to successfully prevail against the purchaser.
Our strategy to acquire homes from third party homebuilders could subject us to significant risks that could
adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results.
We recently began, and expect to continue, entering into contracts with homebuilder counterparties for the
acquisition of new homes. Pursuant to these contracts, which are generally entered into in a single negotiated
transaction, homes will be delivered to us pursuant to a negotiated delivery schedule. We have made commitments
for future fundings, and there can be no assurance that funding will be available to us for such purposes.
This strategy depends on the performance of our counterparties. We rely on builder counterparties to acquire
land suitable for residential building in our markets, and to deliver quality homes at reasonable prices in a timely
manner, in accordance with agreed to specifications. A failure of builder counterparties to perform in accordance
with the terms of our agreements, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further, poor
performance by homebuilder counterparties may reflect poorly on us and could damage our reputation.
Contingent or unknown liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, cash flows, and operating
results.
Assets and entities that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to unknown or
contingent liabilities for which we may have limited or no recourse against the sellers. Unknown or contingent
liabilities might include liabilities for, or with respect to, liens attached to properties, unpaid property tax,
utilities, or HOA charges for which a subsequent owner remains liable, clean-up or remediation of environmental
conditions or code violations, claims of customers, vendors, or other persons dealing with the acquired entities,
and tax liabilities. Purchases of single-family properties acquired at auction, in short sales, from lenders, or in
portfolio purchases typically involve few or no representations or warranties with respect to the properties and
may allow us limited or no recourse against the sellers. Such properties also often have unpaid tax, utility, and
HOA liabilities which we may be obligated to pay but fail to anticipate. As a result, the total amount of costs and
expenses that we may incur with respect to liabilities associated with acquired properties and entities may exceed
our expectations, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Additionally, such
properties may be subject to covenants, conditions, or restrictions that restrict the use or ownership of such
properties, including prohibitions on leasing. We may not discover such restrictions during the acquisition
process and such restrictions may adversely affect our ability to operate such properties as we intend.
In particular, under a Florida statutory framework implemented by certain Florida jurisdictions, a violation of
the relevant building codes, zoning codes, or other similar regulations applicable to a property may result in a lien
on that property and all other properties owned by the same violator and located in the same county as the property
with the code violation, even though the other properties might not be in violation of any code. Until a municipal
inspector verifies that the violation has been remedied and any applicable fines have been paid, additional fines
accrue on the amount of the lien and the lien may not be released, in each case even at those properties that are not
in violation. As a practical matter, it might be possible to obtain a release of these liens without remedying the
property in violation through other methods, such as payment of an amount to the relevant county, although no
assurance can be given that this option will necessarily be available or how long such a process would take.
A significant number of our residential properties are part of HOAs and we and our residents are subject to
the rules and regulations of such HOAs, which are subject to change and which may be arbitrary or
restrictive, and violations of such rules may subject us to additional fees and penalties and litigation with such
HOAs, which would be costly.
A significant number of our properties are located within HOAs, which are private entities that regulate the
activities of owners and occupants of, and levy assessments on, properties in a residential subdivision. The HOAs
37
in which we own our properties may have enacted or may from time to time enact onerous or arbitrary rules that
restrict our ability to restore, market, lease, or operate our properties in accordance with our investment strategy, or
require us to restore or maintain such properties at standards or costs that are in excess of our planned budgets.
Some HOAs impose limits on the number of property owners who may lease their homes, which, if met or
exceeded, would cause us to incur additional costs to sell the property and opportunity costs from lost rental
revenue. Furthermore, we may have residents who violate HOA rules and incur fines for which we may be liable as
the property owner and for which we may not be able to obtain reimbursement from the resident. Additionally, the
governing bodies of the HOAs in which we own property may not make important disclosures about the properties
or may block our access to HOA records, initiate litigation, restrict our ability to sell our properties, impose
assessments, or arbitrarily change the HOA rules. We may be unaware of or unable to review or comply with HOA
rules before purchasing a property, and any such excessively restrictive or arbitrary regulations may cause us to sell
such property at a loss, prevent us from leasing such property, or otherwise reduce our cash flow from such
property, which would have an adverse effect on our returns on these properties. Several states have enacted laws
that provide that a lien for unpaid monies owed to an HOA may be senior to or extinguish mortgage liens on
properties. Such actions, if not cured, may give rise to events of default under certain of our indebtedness, which
could have a material adverse impact on us.
Vacant properties could be difficult to lease, which could adversely affect our revenues.
The properties we acquire may often be vacant at the time of closing, and we may acquire multiple vacant
properties in close geographic proximity to one another. We may not be successful in locating residents to lease
the individual properties that we acquire as quickly as we had expected, or at all. Even if we are able to place
residents as quickly as we had expected, we may incur vacancies in the future and may not be able to re-lease
those properties without longer than assumed delays, which may result in increased renovation and maintenance
costs and opportunity costs from lost revenues.
Vacant homes may also be at risk for fraudulent activity which could impact our ability to lease a home. As
a result, if vacancies continue for a longer period of time than we expect or indefinitely, we may suffer reduced
revenues, incur additional operating expenses and capital expenditures, and our homes could be substantially
impaired, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us.
Leasing fraud could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities such as leasing fraud.
As we make more of our services available over the internet, we subject ourselves to new types of leasing fraud
risk. We use a variety of tools to protect against fraud; however, these tools may not always be successful.
Allegations of fraud may result in fines, settlements, litigation expenses, and reputational damage.
We rely on information supplied by prospective residents in managing our business.
We evaluate prospective residents in a standardized manner through the use of a third party resident
screening vendor partner. Our resident screening process includes obtaining appropriate identification, a
thorough evaluation of credit history and household income, a review of the applicant’s rental history, and a
background check for criminal activity. We make leasing decisions based on information in rental applications
completed by a prospective resident and screened by our third party partner, and we cannot be certain that this
information is accurate. Additionally, these applications are submitted to us at the time we evaluate a prospective
resident, and we do not require residents to provide us with updated information during the terms of their leases,
notwithstanding the fact that this information can, and frequently does, change over time. For example, increases
in unemployment levels or adverse economic conditions in certain of our markets may adversely affect the
creditworthiness of our residents in such markets. Even though this information is not updated, we will use it to
evaluate the characteristics of our portfolio over time. If resident-supplied information is inaccurate or our
residents’ creditworthiness declines over time, we may make poor or imperfect leasing decisions and our
portfolio may contain more risk than we believe.
38
We depend on our residents and their willingness to meet their lease obligations and renew their leases for
substantially all of our revenues. Poor resident selection, defaults, and non-renewals by our residents may
adversely affect our reputation, financial performance, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We depend on rental income from residents for substantially all of our revenues. As a result, our success
depends in large part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified residents for our properties. Our reputation,
financial performance, and ability to make distributions to our stockholders would be adversely affected if a
significant number of our residents fail to meet their lease obligations or fail to renew their leases. For example,
residents may default on rent payments, make unreasonable and repeated demands for service or improvements,
make unsupported or unjustified complaints to regulatory or political authorities, use our properties for illegal
purposes, damage or make unauthorized structural changes to our properties that are not covered by security
deposits, refuse to leave the property upon termination of the lease, engage in domestic violence or similar
disturbances, disturb nearby residents with noise, trash, odors, or eyesores, fail to comply with HOA regulations,
sublet to less desirable individuals in violation of our lease, or permit unauthorized persons to live with them.
Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as continuing measures taken by governmental authorities and
private actors to limit the spread of this virus or mitigate its impact, are interfering with the ability of some of our
residents to meet their lease obligations and make their rent payments on time or at all. Furthermore, entities
directed by, or notionally affiliated with, the federal government as well as some state and local jurisdictions
across the United States have imposed temporary eviction moratoriums if certain criteria are met by residents, are
allowing residents to defer missed rent payments without incurring late fees, and are prohibiting rent increases.
Jurisdictions and other local and national authorities may expand or extend measures imposing restrictions on our
ability to enforce residents’ contractual rental obligations and limiting our ability to increase rents. See “— Our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected by pandemics
and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
Damage to our properties may delay re-leasing after eviction, necessitate expensive repairs, or impair the
rental income or value of the property resulting in a lower than expected rate of return. Increases in
unemployment levels and other adverse changes in economic conditions in our markets could result in substantial
resident defaults. In the event of a resident default or bankruptcy, we may experience delays in enforcing our
rights as landlord at that property and will incur costs in protecting our investment and re-leasing the property.
Our leases are relatively short-term, exposing us to the risk that we may have to re-lease our properties
frequently, which we may be unable to do on attractive terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
Substantially all of our new leases have a duration of one to two years. As such leases permit the residents to
leave at the end of the lease term, we anticipate our rental revenues may be affected by declines in market rental
rates more quickly than if our leases were for longer terms. Short-term leases may result in high turnover, which
involves costs such as restoring the properties, marketing costs, and lower occupancy levels. Our resident
turnover rate and related cost estimates may be less accurate than if we had more operating data upon which to
base such estimates. If the rental rates for our properties decrease or our residents do not renew their leases, our
operating results and ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition,
most of our potential residents are represented by leasing agents and we may need to pay all or a portion of any
related agent commissions, which will reduce the revenue from a particular rental home. Alternatively, to the
extent that a lease term exceeds one year, we may lose the opportunity to raise rents in an appreciating market
and be locked into a lower rent until such lease expires.
Many factors impact the single-family rental market, and if rents in our markets do not increase sufficiently to
keep pace with rising costs of operations, our income and distributable cash could decline.
The success of our business model depends, in part, on conditions in the single-family rental market in
which we operate. One of the possible impacts on our results of operations and key operating metrics due to the
restrictions on rent increases imposed in certain jurisdictions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could be a
decrease in gross rental revenues and other property income. Our investment strategy is based on assumptions
39
about occupancy levels, rental rates, interest rates, and other factors; and if those assumptions prove to be
inaccurate, our cash flows and profitability may be reduced. Multiple economic and demographic factors may
contribute to increases or decreases in homeownership rates resulting in fluctuating rental rates and average
occupancy levels. In addition, we expect that as investors like us increasingly seek to capitalize on opportunities
to purchase housing assets and convert them to productive uses, the supply of single-family rental properties will
decrease, which may increase competition for residents, limit our strategic opportunities, and increase the cost to
acquire those properties. A softening of the rental market in our core areas would reduce our rental revenue and
profitability.
We may not have control over timing and costs arising from renovating our properties, and the cost of
maintaining rental properties is generally higher than the cost of maintaining owner-occupied homes, which
will affect our results of operations and may adversely impact our ability to make distributions to our
stockholders.
Renters impose additional risks to owning real property. Renters do not have the same interest as an owner
in maintaining a property and its contents and generally do not participate in any appreciation of the property.
Accordingly, renters may damage a property and its contents, and may not be forthright in reporting damages or
amenable to repairing them completely, or at all. A rental property may need repairs and/or improvements after
each resident vacates the premises, the costs of which may exceed any security deposit provided to us by the
resident when the rental property was originally leased. Accordingly, the cost of maintaining rental properties
can be higher than the cost of maintaining owner-occupied homes, which will affect our results of operations and
may adversely impact our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Declining real estate valuations and impairment charges could adversely affect our financial condition and
operating results.
We periodically review the value of our properties to determine whether their value, based on market
factors, projected income, and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), has
permanently decreased such that it is necessary or appropriate to take an impairment loss in the relevant
accounting period. Such a loss would cause an immediate reduction of net income in the applicable accounting
period and would be reflected in a decrease in our balance sheet assets. The reduction of net income from
impairment losses could lead to a reduction in our dividends, both in the relevant accounting period and in future
periods. Even if we do not determine that it is necessary or appropriate to record an impairment loss, a reduction
in the intrinsic value of a property would become manifest over time through reduced income from the property
and would therefore affect our earnings and financial condition.
We are highly dependent on information systems, and systems failures could significantly disrupt our
business, which may, in turn, negatively affect us and the value of our common stock.
Our operations are dependent upon our information systems that support our business processes, including
marketing, leasing, vendor communications, finance, intercompany communications, our resident portals, and
property management service platforms, which include certain automated processes that require access to
telecommunications or the Internet, each of which is subject to system security risks. Certain critical components
of our platform are dependent upon third party service providers, and a significant portion of our business
operations are conducted over the Internet. As a result, we could be severely impacted by a catastrophic
occurrence, such as a natural disaster or a terrorist attack, or a circumstance that disrupted access to
telecommunications, the Internet, or operations at our third party service providers, including viruses that could
penetrate network security defenses and cause system failures and disruptions of operations. Even though we
believe we utilize appropriate duplication and back-up procedures, a significant outage in telecommunications,
the Internet, or at our third party service providers could negatively impact our operations.
40
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our information systems and expose us to liability,
which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
Information security risks have generally increased in recent years due to the rise in new technologies and
the increased sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyberattacks. In the ordinary course of our business,
we acquire and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information, and
personally identifiable information of our prospective and current residents, employees, and third party service
providers. The secure processing and maintenance of such information is critical to our operations and business
strategy. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure are subject and may be
vulnerable to attacks by malicious third parties or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other
disruptions. Due to the nature of some of the attacks, there is a risk that they may remain undetected for a period
of time. While we have invested in the protection of data and information technology and implemented
processes, procedures, and internal controls that are designed to mitigate cybersecurity risks and cyber intrusions,
there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent cyber incidents or security breaches. Any such breach
could compromise our networks and the information stored therein could be accessed, publicly disclosed,
misused, lost, or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or
proceedings, misstated or unreliable financial data, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal
information, regulatory penalties, disruption to our operations and the services we provide to customers, or
damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, reputation, and competitive
position. We maintain cyber liability insurance; however, this insurance may not be sufficient to cover the
financial, legal, business, or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems.
Business continuity and disaster recovery issues which may result from the current COVID-19 pandemic or any
future pandemic could materially interrupt our business operations. Due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19
cases in states where we operate and in connection with our flexible work arrangements, a significant number of
our associates based at our headquarters and local offices continue working remotely. An extended period of
remote work arrangements could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including, but
not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. See “— Our business, results
of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected by pandemics and outbreaks of
infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
Our participation in joint venture investments may limit our ability to invest in certain markets, and we may be
adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on joint venture partners’
financial condition, and disputes between us and our joint venture partners.
We currently, and may in the future, co-invest with third parties through partnerships, joint ventures, or
other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a
property, partnership, joint venture, or other entity. These joint ventures may be subject to restrictions that
prohibit us from making other investments in certain markets until all of the funds in such partnership, joint
venture, or other entity are invested or committed. In addition, we may also not be in a position to exercise sole
decision-making authority regarding the property, partnership, joint venture, or other entity, and our joint venture
partners could take actions that are not within our control. Such actions could, among other things, impact our
ability to maintain our status as a REIT. Further, investments in partnerships, joint ventures, or other entities
may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the
possibility that joint venture partners might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital
contributions. Joint venture partners may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent
with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or
objectives. Such investments also may have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because
neither we nor our partners would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. Disputes between us and
our partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/
or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by, or disputes with, any
of our joint venture partners might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to
additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of any of our third party
partners or co-venturers.
41
We provide property management and other services on a contractual basis to co-investors in certain of our
joint ventures that invest in single-family rental properties. These services include marketing, leasing,
maintenance, renovation, accounting, transaction management, and financial markets services. Our exposure to
liabilities in connection with such property management activities could have an adverse effect on our business
and financial results.
We are subject to litigation and regulatory proceedings.
We are involved in a range of legal and regulatory proceedings, claims, actions, inquiries, and investigations
in the ordinary course of business. These legal and regulatory proceedings may include, among others, eviction
proceedings and other landlord-tenant disputes, challenges to title and ownership rights, disputes arising over
potential violations of HOA rules and regulations, issues with local housing officials arising from the condition
or maintenance of the property, outside vendor disputes, and trademark infringement and other intellectual
property claims. Additionally, our industry is under increasing political and regulatory scrutiny resulting in
governmental inquiries relating to the conduct of our business generally and during the COVID-19 pandemic
specifically, including information relating to compliance with federal eviction moratorium requirements and
cooperation with impacted residents to use federal assistance funds as an alternative to eviction. These actions or
inquiries may be costly to comply with, result in negative publicity, require significant management time and
attention, and subject us to remedies that may harm our business, including fines or demands or orders that we
modify or cease existing business practices. For example, eviction proceedings by owners and operators of
single-family homes for lease have recently been the focus of negative media attention. Although we are not
involved in any legal or regulatory proceedings that we expect would have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, or financial condition, such proceedings may arise in the future.
We may suffer losses that are not covered by insurance.
We attempt to ensure that our properties are adequately insured to cover casualty losses. However, there are
certain losses, including losses from floods, fires, earthquakes, wind, hail, pollution, acts of war, acts of terrorism
or riots, certain environmental hazards, and security breaches for which we may self-insure or which may not
always or generally be insured against because it may not be deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so.
Changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In particular, a
number of our properties are located in areas that are known to be subject to increased earthquake activity, fires,
or wind and/or flood risk. Any and all such severe weather events may be exacerbated by global climate change,
resulting in increased insurance premiums and deductibles, or a decrease in the availability of coverage. See
“Risks Related to Environmental, Social, and Governance Issues — We are subject to risks from natural
disasters such as earthquakes and severe weather.” While we have multi-year policies for earthquakes,
hurricane, and/or flood risk, our properties may nonetheless incur casualty losses that are not fully covered by
insurance. In such an event, the value of the affected properties would be reduced by the amount of any such
uninsured loss, and we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues in such
properties and could potentially remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with such properties.
Inflation, changes in building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors might also
keep us from using insurance proceeds to replace or renovate a particular property after it has been damaged or
destroyed. Under those circumstances, the insurance proceeds we receive might be inadequate to restore our
economic position in the damaged or destroyed property. Any such losses could adversely affect us and cause the
value of our common stock to decline. In addition, we may have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct the
damaged home, and we cannot assure that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes
in the future.
Eminent domain could lead to material losses on our investments in our properties.
Governmental authorities may exercise eminent domain to acquire the land on which our properties are built
in order to build roads and other infrastructure. Any such exercise of eminent domain would allow us to recover
only the fair value of the affected properties. In addition, “fair value” could be substantially less than the real
42
market value of the property for a number of years, and we could effectively have no profit potential from
properties acquired by the government through eminent domain.
We may have difficulty selling our real estate investments, and our ability to distribute all or a portion of the
net proceeds from any such sale to our stockholders may be limited.
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and, as a result, we may have a limited ability to sell our
properties. When we sell any of our properties, we may recognize a loss on such sale. We may elect not to
distribute any proceeds from the sale of properties to our stockholders. Instead, we may use such proceeds for
other purposes, including:
•
•
•
purchasing additional properties;
repaying debt or buying back stock;
creating working capital reserves; or
• making repairs, maintenance or other capital improvements or expenditures to our remaining
properties.
Our ability to sell our properties may also be limited by our need to avoid the 100% prohibited transactions
tax that is imposed on gain recognized by a REIT from the sale of property characterized as dealer property. For
example, we may be required to hold our properties for a minimum period of time and comply with certain other
requirements in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or dispose of our properties
through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), in which case we will incur corporate level tax on any net gains
from such dispositions.
Risks Related to Environmental, Social, and Governance Issues
Climate change, related legislative and regulatory responses to climate change, and the transition to a lower-
carbon economy may adversely affect our business.
There is increasing concern that a gradual rise in global average temperatures due to increased concentration
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will cause significant changes in weather
patterns around the globe, an increase in the frequency, severity, and duration of extreme weather conditions and
natural disasters, and water scarcity and poor water quality. These events could also compound adverse economic
conditions. To the extent that significant changes in the climate occur in areas where our properties are located,
we may experience extreme weather and/or changes in precipitation and temperature, all of which may result in
physical damage to, or a decrease in demand for, properties located in these areas or affected by these conditions
and our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected. See “— We are subject to risks
from natural disasters such as earthquakes and severe weather.” In addition, changes in federal, state, and local
legislation and regulation based on concerns about climate change, including regulations aimed at limiting
greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of “green” building codes, could result in increased capital
expenditures on our existing properties (for example, to improve their energy efficiency and/or resistance to
inclement weather) without a corresponding increase in revenue, resulting in adverse impacts to our results of
operations. Any assessment of the potential impact of future climate change legislation, regulations, or industry
standards, as well as any international treaties and accords, is uncertain given the wide scope of potential
regulatory change.
We are subject to risks from natural disasters such as earthquakes and severe weather.
Natural disasters, severe weather such as earthquakes, tornadoes, wind, or floods, and wildfires may result
in significant damage to our properties. The extent of our casualty losses and loss of income in connection with
such events is a function of the severity of the event and the total amount of exposure in the affected area.
43
Additional consequences of severe weather could include increased insurance premiums and deductibles or a
decrease in the availability of coverage. See “Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We may suffer
losses that are not covered by insurance.”
We are subject to risks from events such as natural disasters, severe weather, and wildfires, which may have
a significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Any and all of these factors may
be exacerbated by global climate change. See “— Climate change, related legislative and regulatory responses
to climate change, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy may adversely affect our business.” As a
result, our operating and financial results may vary significantly from one period to the next. We have in the past
and may in the future incur losses arising from natural disasters or severe weather.
Environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect us.
Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real
property may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on such property.
Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the
contamination, each person covered by applicable environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the
clean-up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the owner or operator of a site for damages based on
personal injury, natural resources, or property damage or other costs, including investigation and clean-up costs,
resulting from the environmental contamination. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances on one of our
properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the
government for costs it may incur to address the contamination or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or
lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on
the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated. A property owner who violates
environmental laws may be subject to sanctions which may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain
circumstances, private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be
exposed to such costs. The cost of defending against environmental claims, of compliance with environmental
regulatory requirements, or of remediating any contaminated property could materially and adversely affect us.
Compliance with new or more stringent environmental laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of
existing laws may require material expenditures by us. We are subject to environmental laws or regulations
relating to our properties, such as those concerning lead-based paint, mold, asbestos, proximity to power lines, or
other issues. We cannot assure you that future laws, ordinances, or regulations will not impose any material
environmental liability or that the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by the
activities of residents, existing conditions of the land, operations in the vicinity of the properties, or the activities
of unrelated third parties. In addition, we may be required to comply with various local, state, and federal fire,
health, life-safety, and similar regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in
fines and/or damages, suspension of personnel, civil liability, or other sanctions.
We are subject to increasing scrutiny from investors and others regarding our environmental, social,
governance, or sustainability, responsibilities, which could result in additional costs or risks and adversely
impact our reputation, associate retention, and ability to raise capital from such investors.
Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants, and
stakeholders have focused increasingly on the ESG or “sustainability” practices of companies, including those
associated with climate change. These parties have placed increased importance on the implications of the social
cost of their investments. If our ESG practices do not meet investor or other industry stakeholder expectations
and standards, which continue to evolve, our reputation and associate retention may be negatively impacted
based on an assessment of our ESG practices. Any sustainability disclosures we make may include our policies
and practices on a variety of social and ethical matters, including corporate governance, environmental
compliance, associate health and safety practices, human capital management, product quality, supply chain
44
management, and workforce inclusion and diversity. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our
ESG practices or the speed of their adoption. We could also incur additional costs and require additional
resources to monitor, report, and comply with various ESG practices. In addition, investors may decide to refrain
from investing in us as a result of their assessment of our approach to and consideration of the ESG factors.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness
Our cash flows and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related
interest and other risks of our debt financing.
We are generally subject to risks associated with debt financing. These risks include: (1) our cash flow may
not be sufficient to satisfy required payments of principal and interest; (2) we may not be able to refinance
existing indebtedness or the terms of any refinancing may be less favorable to us than the terms of existing debt;
(3) required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines; (4) debt
service obligations could reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders and funds available for
capital investment; (5) any default on our indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations and
possible loss of property to foreclosure; (6) the risk that necessary capital expenditures cannot be financed on
favorable terms; and (7) the value of the collateral securing our indebtedness may fluctuate and fall below the
amount of indebtedness it secures. If the income from a property is pledged to secure payment of indebtedness
and we cannot make the applicable debt payments, we may have to surrender the property to the lender with a
consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from such property. Any of these risks could place
strains on our cash flows, reduce our ability to grow, and adversely affect our results of operations. The
COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could have material and adverse effect on our residents’ ability to
meet their lease obligations and our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for failure to pay rent thereby
reducing our cash flows, and the resulting impact on rental and other property income could impact our ability to
make all required debt service payments and to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at expected levels
or at all. See “— Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely
affected by pandemics and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.”
We utilize a significant amount of indebtedness in the operation of our business.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $8,062.4 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding.
Our leverage could have important consequences to us. For example, it could: (1) result in the acceleration of a
significant amount of debt for non-compliance with the terms of such debt or, if such debt contains cross-default
or cross-acceleration provisions, other debt; (2) result in the loss of assets, including individual properties or
portfolios, due to foreclosure or sale on unfavorable terms, which could create taxable income without
accompanying cash proceeds; (3) materially impair our ability to borrow unused amounts under existing
financing arrangements or to obtain additional financing or refinancing on favorable terms, or at all; (4) require
us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to paying principal and interest on our indebtedness,
reducing the cash flow available to fund our business, to pay dividends, including those necessary to maintain our
REIT qualification, or to use for other purposes; (5) increase our vulnerability to an economic downturn; (6) limit
our ability to withstand competitive pressures; or (7) reduce our flexibility to respond to changing business and
economic conditions.
If any of the foregoing occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and
prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock could decline
significantly.
We may be unable to obtain financing through the debt and equity markets, which would have a material
adverse effect on our growth strategy and our financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to access the capital and credit markets to obtain additional debt
or equity financing or that we will be able to obtain financing on terms favorable to us. Our inability to obtain
45
financing could have negative effects on our business. Among other things, we could have difficulty acquiring,
re-developing or maintaining, our properties, which would materially and adversely affect our business strategy
and portfolio, and may result in our: (1) liquidity being adversely affected; (2) inability to repay or refinance our
indebtedness on or before its maturity; (3) making higher interest and principal payments or selling some of our
assets on terms unfavorable to us to service our indebtedness; or (4) issuing additional capital stock, which could
further dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders.
Our access to additional third party sources of financing will depend, in part, on:
•
•
general market conditions;
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
• with respect to acquisition financing, the market’s perception of the value of the homes to be acquired;
•
•
•
•
our current debt levels;
our current and expected future earnings;
our cash flow and cash distributions; and
the market price of our common stock.
Potential lenders may be unwilling or unable to provide us with financing that is attractive to us or may
charge us prohibitively high fees in order to obtain financing. Consequently, there is uncertainty regarding our
ability to access the credit markets in order to attract financing on reasonable terms. Investment returns on our
assets and our ability to make acquisitions could be adversely affected by our inability to secure financing on
reasonable terms, if at all.
A downgrade in our credit ratings could adversely affect our financing ability.
Our credit ratings affect the amount and type of capital, as well as the terms and pricing of any financing we
may obtain. If we are unable to maintain our current credit ratings, we would likely incur higher borrowing costs,
and it would make it more difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations
and commitments, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows, and liquidity.
Secured indebtedness exposes us to the possibility of foreclosure on our ownership interests in our rental
homes.
Incurring secured mortgage indebtedness increases our risk of loss of our ownership interests in our rental
homes because defaults thereunder, and/or the inability to refinance such indebtedness, may result in foreclosure
action initiated by lenders. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our rental homes would be treated as a sale
of the home for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the indebtedness secured by such rental
home. If the outstanding balance of the indebtedness secured by such rental home exceeds our tax basis in the
rental home, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure without receiving any cash proceeds.
Covenants in our debt agreements may restrict our operating activities and adversely affect our financial
condition.
Our existing debt agreements contain, and future debt agreements may contain, financial and/or operating
covenants including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the ability to incur
additional secured and unsecured debt, and/or otherwise affect our distribution and operating policies. These
covenants may limit our operational flexibility and acquisition and disposition activities. Moreover, if any of the
covenants in these debt agreements are breached and not cured within the applicable cure period, we could be
required to repay the debt immediately, even in the absence of a payment default. A default under one of our debt
46
agreements could result in a cross-default under other debt agreements, and our lenders could elect to declare
outstanding amounts due and payable, terminate their commitments, require the posting of additional collateral,
and enforce their respective interests against existing collateral. As a result, a default under applicable debt
covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally,
borrowing base requirements associated with our financing arrangements may prevent us from drawing upon our
total maximum capacity under these financing arrangements if sufficient collateral, in accordance with our
facility agreements, is not available.
For example, our mortgage loans and secured term loan require, among other things, that a cash
management account controlled by the lender collect all rents and cash generated by the properties securing the
portfolio. Upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to satisfy the required minimum debt yield or debt
service coverage ratio, the lender may apply any excess cash in such cash management account as the lender
elects, including prepayment of principal and amounts due under the loans.
These covenants may restrict our ability to engage in transactions that we believe would otherwise be in the
best interests of our stockholders. Further, such restrictions could make it difficult for us to satisfy the
requirements necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes.
We have and may continue to utilize non-recourse long-term mortgage loans, and such structures may expose
us to certain risks not prevalent in other debt financings, which could affect the availability and attractiveness
of this financing option or otherwise result in losses to us.
We have and may continue to utilize non-recourse long-term mortgage loans relating to pools of homes
which we own, if and when they become available and to the extent consistent with the maintenance of our REIT
qualification. Mortgage loans may expose us to certain risks not prevalent in other debt financings. Moreover, we
cannot be assured that we will be able to access the securitization market in the future, or be able to do so at
favorable rates. The global economy’s previous recession, coupled with a general decline in business activity
resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused dislocations, illiquidity, and volatility in the market for
asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, as well as disruption in the wider global financial
markets, including a significant reduction of investor demand for, and purchases of, asset-backed securities and
structured financial products. Disruptions of the securitization market could preclude our ability to use mortgage
loans as a financing source or could render it an inefficient source of financing, making us more dependent on
alternative sourcing of financing that might not be as favorable as mortgage loans in otherwise favorable
markets. In addition, in the United States and elsewhere, there is now increased political and regulatory scrutiny
of the asset-backed securities industry. This has resulted in a raft of measures for increased regulation which are
currently at various stages of implementation and which may have an adverse impact on the regulatory capital
charge to certain investors in securitization exposures or the incentives for certain investors to hold asset-backed
securities, and may thereby affect the liquidity of such securities. Any of these factors could limit our access to
mortgage loans as a source of financing. The inability to consummate mortgage loans to finance our investments
on a long-term basis could require us to seek other forms of potentially less attractive financing or to liquidate
assets at an inopportune time or price, which could adversely affect our performance and our ability to grow our
business.
Offerings of additional debt securities or equity securities that rank senior to our common stock may adversely
affect the market price of our common stock.
If we decide to issue additional debt securities or equity securities that rank senior to our common stock in
the future, it is likely that they will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants
restricting our operating flexibility. Any additional debt or equity securities that we issue in the future may have
rights, preferences, and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock and, if such securities are
convertible or exchangeable, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to owners of our common
stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because
47
our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other
factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of our future offerings.
Thus, holders of our common stock will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our
common stock and diluting the value of their stock holdings in us.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate increases may adversely affect our results of operations and
our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
Borrowings under our debt instruments totaling $4,571.9 million as of December 31, 2021 bear interest at
variable rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase, including during 2022 based on
recent statements by the United States Federal Reserve and their plans to raise benchmark interest rates, our debt
service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained
the same, and our earnings and cash flows will correspondingly decrease. After giving effect to our interest rate
swap agreements (see Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information), each 100 bps increase or
decrease on our floating rate indebtedness would result in an estimated increase of $1.5 million or $20.9 million,
respectively, in annual interest expense. A 100 bps decrease in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)
results in a negative LIBOR rate and additional interest expense for us. Our credit facility agreement contains a
LIBOR floor, and there is no reciprocal feature in our interest rate swap agreements.
In connection with our debt instruments, we have obtained interest rate caps and swaps, and subject to
complying with the requirements for REIT qualification, we may obtain in the future one or more additional
forms of interest rate protection (in the form of swap agreements, interest rate cap contracts, or similar
agreements) to hedge against the possible negative effects of interest rate fluctuations. However, we cannot
assure you that any hedging will adequately relieve the adverse effects of interest rate increases or that
counterparties under these agreements will honor their obligations thereunder. In addition, we may be subject to
risks of default by hedging counterparties. Adverse economic conditions could also cause the terms on which we
borrow to be unfavorable. We could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments at times which may
not permit us to receive an attractive return on our investments in order to meet our debt service obligations.
The REIT provisions of the Code may also limit our ability to hedge effectively. See “Risks Related to our
REIT Status and Certain Other Tax Items — Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge
effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities.”
Expected phasing out of LIBOR may adversely affect the capital markets and our ability to raise capital.
When LIBOR is discontinued, our variable rate debt agreements and financial instruments may be calculated
using another base rate.
On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom, which has statutory powers to
require panel banks to contribute to LIBOR, announced that it would cease publication of the one week and two
month USD LIBOR immediately after December 31, 2021 and cease publication of the remaining tenors
immediately after June 30, 2023. Accordingly, in the near future LIBOR will cease being a widely used
benchmark interest rate. The current and any future reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to be replaced
with a new benchmark or to perform differently than in the past, including during the transition period. As of
December 31, 2021, we had $4,571.9 million of variable rate debt outstanding that references one month LIBOR
as the benchmark rate to determine the applicable interest rate or payment amount and for which maturities
extend past June 2023 (assuming all extensions are exercised). The agreements underlying our outstanding
variable debt contemplate procedures for transitioning from LIBOR upon the occurrence of specified events.
Nevertheless, the consequences of these market developments cannot be entirely predicted and a transition from
LIBOR, even if administered consistent with the credit facility’s provisions, could increase the cost of our
variable rate indebtedness. If one month LIBOR is discontinued during 2023 as expected, there will be
uncertainty or differences in the calculation of the applicable interest rate or payment amount, depending on the
48
terms of the agreement, and significant management time and attention may be required to transition to using the
new benchmark rates and to implement necessary changes to our financial models. This could result in different
financial performance for previously recorded transactions and may impact our existing transaction data,
operations, and pricing processes. The calculation of interest rates under the replacement benchmarks could also
impact our net interest expense. LIBOR may perform differently during the phase-out period than in the past
which could result in an adverse impact on the market for or value of any LIBOR-based securities, loans,
derivatives, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit held by us and on our overall financial
condition or results of operations. Additionally, debt holders or governing bodies may decide to transition to a
successor rate prior to the expected LIBOR phase-out date.
Risks Related to Our Organization, Structure, and Ownership of Our Common Stock
Provisions of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us by requiring our
board of directors or stockholders to approve proposals to acquire our company or effect a change in control.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) may have the effect of
inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change in control under
circumstances that otherwise could provide our stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the
then-prevailing market price of their shares of common stock, including:
•
•
“business combination” provisions that, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, prohibit certain
business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder” (defined
generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding
voting stock or an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period
immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power
of our then outstanding shares of stock) or an affiliate of any interested stockholder for five years after
the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter
imposes two super-majority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations, unless, among
other conditions, our common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined in the MGCL, for
their shares of stock and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by
the interested stockholder for its shares of stock; and
“control share” provisions that provide that, subject to certain exceptions, holders of “control shares”
(defined as voting shares that, when aggregated with all other shares controlled by the stockholder,
entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors)
acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or
control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved
by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer, by our officers, or by our employees who are also
directors of our company.
We have opted out of the business combination provisions of the MGCL and any business combination
between us and any other person is exempt from the business combination provisions of the MGCL. In addition,
pursuant to a provision in our bylaws, we opted out of the control share provisions of the MGCL. Provisions of
our bylaws will prohibit our board of directors from revoking, altering, or amending its resolution exempting any
business combination from the business combination provisions of the MGCL or amending our bylaws to opt in
to the control share provisions of the MGCL, in each case, without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes
cast on the matter by our stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
In addition, the “unsolicited takeover” provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permit our board of
directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement
certain takeover defenses, including adopting a classified board or increasing the vote required to remove a
director. Such takeover defenses may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition
49
proposal for us or of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us under the circumstances that
otherwise could provide our common stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-
current market price. Our charter provides that, without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the
matter by our stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, we may not elect to be subject to
certain provisions of Subtitle 8, including the provisions relating to adopting a classified board or increasing the
vote required to remove a director.
Our board of directors may approve the issuance of stock, including preferred stock, with terms that may
discourage a third party from acquiring us.
Our charter permits our board of directors, without any action by our stockholders, to authorize the issuance
of stock in one or more classes or series. Our board of directors may also classify or reclassify any unissued stock
and set or change the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of any such stock,
which rights may be superior to those of our common stock. Thus, our board of directors could authorize the
issuance of shares of a class or series of stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of
discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some or a majority of our outstanding common
stock might receive a premium for their shares of stock over the then current market price of our common stock.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Our charter eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money
damages to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. Under current Maryland law and our charter, our
directors and officers do not have any liability to us or our stockholders for money damages other than liability
resulting from:
•
•
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property, or services; or
active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was established by a final judgment and
is material to the cause of action adjudicated.
Our charter authorizes us and our bylaws obligate us to indemnify each of our directors or officers who is or
is threatened to be made a party to or witness in a proceeding by reason of his or her service in those or certain
other capacities, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, from and against any claim or liability to
which such person may become subject or which such person may incur by reason of his or her status as a
present or former director or officer of us or serving in such other capacities. In addition, we may be obligated to
pay or reimburse the expenses incurred by our present and former directors and officers without requiring a
preliminary determination of their ultimate entitlement to indemnification. As a result, we and our stockholders
may have more limited rights to recover money damages from our directors and officers than might otherwise
exist absent these provisions in our charter and bylaws or that might exist with other companies, which could
limit your recourse in the event of actions that are not in our best interests.
Our charter contains a provision that expressly permits our non-employee directors, certain of our pre-IPO
owners, and their affiliates to compete with us.
Our charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law, we
renounce any interest or expectancy that we have in, or any right to be offered an opportunity to participate in,
any business opportunities that are from time to time presented to or developed by our directors or their affiliates,
other than to those directors who are employed by us or our subsidiaries, unless the business opportunity is
expressly offered or made known to such person in his or her capacity as our director, and none of our pre-IPO
owners, or any of their respective affiliates, or any director who is not employed by us or any of his or her
affiliates, will have any duty to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the same business activities or
similar business activities or lines of business in which we or our affiliates engage or propose to engage or to
refrain from otherwise competing with us or our affiliates.
50
Our charter provides that, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law, each of our
non-employee directors, and any of their affiliates, may:
•
•
acquire, hold, and dispose of interests in us and/or our subsidiaries, including shares of our stock or
common units of partnership interest in INVH LP for his, her or its own account or for the account of
others, and exercise all of the rights of a stockholder of Invitation Homes Inc., or a limited partner of
INVH LP, to the same extent and in the same manner as if he, she, or it were not our director or
stockholder; and
in his, her, or its personal capacity or in his, her, or its capacity, as applicable, as a director, officer,
trustee, stockholder, partner, member, equity owner, manager, advisor, or employee of any other
person, have business interests and engage, directly or indirectly, in business activities that are similar
to ours or compete with us, that involve a business opportunity that we could seize and develop or that
include the acquisition, syndication, holding, management, development, operation, or disposition of
interests in mortgages, real property or persons engaged in the real estate business.
Our charter also provides that, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Maryland law, in the
event that any of our non-employee directors, or any of their respective affiliates, acquires knowledge of a
potential transaction or other business opportunity, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such
transaction or business opportunity to us or any of our affiliates and may take any such opportunity for itself,
himself, or herself or offer it to another person or entity unless the business opportunity is expressly offered to
such person in his or her capacity as our director. These provisions may limit our ability to pursue business or
investment opportunities that we might otherwise have had the opportunity to pursue, which could have an
adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our cash flow, the per share trading price of
our common stock, and our ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends to our
stockholders.
Risks Related to our REIT Status and Certain Other Tax Items
If we do not maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be subject to tax as a regular domestic corporation
and could face a substantial tax liability.
We believe that we have been organized and have operated in conformity with the requirements for
qualification and taxation as a REIT and that our current organization and proposed method of operation enable
us to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical
and complex Code provisions for which only a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations exist,
and we cannot assure you that we qualify or that we will remain qualified as a REIT. Our qualification as a REIT
depends upon our satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, stockholder ownership, and
other requirements on a continuing basis, and even a technical or inadvertent violation of these requirements
could jeopardize our REIT qualification. Furthermore, new tax legislation, administrative guidance, or court
decisions, in each instance potentially with retroactive effect, could make it more difficult or impossible for us to
qualify as a REIT.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, and we do not qualify for relief under applicable statutory
provisions, then:
• we would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation (a “C corporation”), which under current laws
means, among other things, being unable to deduct distributions to stockholders in computing taxable
income and being subject to United States federal income tax on our taxable income at regular
corporate income tax rates;
•
any resulting tax liability could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our book
value;
51
• we would be required to pay taxes, and thus, our cash available for distribution to stockholders would
be reduced for each of the years during which we did not qualify as a REIT and for which we had
taxable income;
• we could be subject to increased state and local taxes; and
• we generally would not be eligible to requalify as a REIT for the subsequent four full taxable years.
REITs, in certain circumstances, may incur tax liabilities that would reduce our cash flows.
Even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT, we may be subject to certain United States federal,
state, and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from
some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property, and transfer taxes. In
addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our
stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under the Code, and we could, in certain
circumstances, be required to pay an excise or penalty tax (which could be significant in amount) in order to
utilize one or more relief provisions under the Code to maintain our qualification as a REIT. Furthermore, in
order to meet the REIT qualification requirements, or to avert the imposition of a 100% tax that applies to certain
gains derived by a REIT from dealer property or inventory, we conduct some of our operations and hold some of
our assets through a TRS or other subsidiary corporations that are subject to United States federal, state, and local
corporate taxes. Any of the aforementioned taxes we pay directly or indirectly will reduce our cash available for
distribution to our stockholders.
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities and limit our
expansion opportunities.
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of
income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders, and the
ownership of our stock. To meet these tests, we may be required to take or forgo taking actions that we would
otherwise consider advantageous. For instance, in order to satisfy the gross income or asset tests applicable to
REITs under the Code, we may be required to forgo investments that we otherwise would make. Furthermore, we
may be required to liquidate from our portfolio otherwise attractive investments. These actions could reduce our
income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. In addition, we may also be required to make
distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for
distribution. Thus, compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of
maximizing profits.
Complying with REIT requirements may force us to liquidate or restructure otherwise attractive investments.
In order to qualify as a REIT, we must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of
the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities, and qualified REIT real estate assets.
The remainder of our investments in securities (other than qualified real estate assets and government securities)
generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or 10% of the total
value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer unless we and such issuer jointly elect for such issuer to be
treated as a TRS under the Code. The total value of all of our investments in TRSs cannot exceed 20% of the
value of our total assets. In addition, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than qualified real estate
assets and government securities) can consist of the securities of any one issuer other than a TRS. If we fail to
comply with these requirements, we must dispose of a portion of our assets within 30 days after the end of the
calendar quarter in order to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. In addition to
the quarterly asset test requirements, we must annually satisfy two income test requirements (the “75% and 95%
gross income tests”). As a result, we may be required to liquidate from our portfolio, or contribute to a TRS,
otherwise attractive investments in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. These actions could have the
effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders. We may be unable to
52
pursue investments that would otherwise be advantageous to us in order to satisfy the income or asset
diversification requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Thus, compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our
ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to engage in sale transactions.
A REIT’s income from “prohibited transactions” is subject to a 100% tax. In general, “prohibited
transactions” are sales or other dispositions of property other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. We may be subject to the prohibited transactions tax
equal to 100% of net gain upon a disposition of real property that we hold. Although a safe harbor is available,
for which certain sales of property by a REIT are not subject to the 100% prohibited transaction tax, we cannot
assure you that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be
characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. Consequently,
we may choose not to engage in certain sales of our properties, or we may conduct such sales through our TRS,
which would be subject to United States federal and state income taxation. In addition, we may have to sell
numerous properties to a single or a few purchasers, which could cause us to be less profitable than would be the
case if we sold properties on a property-by-property basis. For example, if we decide to acquire properties
opportunistically to renovate in anticipation of immediate resale, we will need to conduct that activity through a
TRS to avoid the 100% prohibited transactions tax.
The 100% tax described above may limit our ability to enter into transactions that would otherwise be
beneficial to us. For example, if circumstances make it not profitable or otherwise uneconomical for us to remain
in certain states or geographical markets, the 100% tax could delay our ability to exit those states or markets by
selling our assets in those states or markets other than through a TRS, which could harm our operating profits and
the trading price of our stock. In addition, in order to avoid the prohibited transactions tax, we may be required to
limit the structures we utilize for our securitization transactions, even though the sales or structures might
otherwise be beneficial to us.
Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge effectively and may cause us to incur tax
liabilities.
The REIT provisions of the Code may limit our ability to hedge liabilities. Income from hedging
transactions that do not meet the specific requirements of these provisions will generally constitute nonqualifying
income for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may have to limit our
use of advantageous hedging techniques or, subject to the limitations on the value of and income from our TRSs,
implement those hedges through a domestic TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because
our TRS would be subject to tax on gains, for which losses may not be available or allowed to offset, or expose
us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear.
Even if we qualify to be subject to United States federal income tax as a REIT, we could be subject to tax on
any unrealized net built-in gains in certain assets.
As part of our pre-IPO reorganization transactions, we acquired certain appreciated assets that were held
(directly or indirectly) in part by one or more C corporations in transactions in which the adjusted tax basis of the
assets in our hands is determined by reference to the adjusted basis of such assets in the hands of such
C corporations. If we dispose of any such appreciated assets during the five-year period following the date we
acquired those assets, we will be subject to United States federal income tax on the portion of such gain
attributable to such C corporations at the highest corporate tax rates to the extent of the excess of the fair market
value of such assets on the date that we acquired those assets over the adjusted tax basis of such assets on such
date, which are referred to as built-in gains. Further, such built-in gains may also be subject to certain state
income taxes, for a length of time equal to or exceeding the federal five-year period. We would be subject to this
tax liability even if we qualify and maintain our status as a REIT. Any recognized built-in gain will retain its
53
character as ordinary income or capital gain and will be taken into account in determining REIT taxable income
and our distribution requirement. Any tax on the recognized built-in gain will reduce REIT taxable income. We
may choose not to sell in a taxable transaction appreciated assets we might otherwise sell during the five-year
period in which the built-in gain tax applies to avoid the built-in gain tax. However, there can be no assurances
that such a taxable transaction will not occur. If we sell such assets in a taxable transaction, the amount of
corporate tax that we will pay will vary depending on the actual amount of net built-in gain or loss present in
those assets as of the time we acquired those assets and the portion of such assets which were held by
C corporations prior to their contribution to us.
Our charter does not permit any person to own more than 9.8% of our outstanding common stock or of our
outstanding stock of all classes or series, and attempts to acquire our common stock or our stock of all other
classes or series in excess of these 9.8% limits would not be effective without an exemption from these limits
by our board of directors.
For us to qualify as a REIT under the Code, not more than 50% of the value of our outstanding stock may be
owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals (including certain entities treated as individuals for this
purpose) during the last half of a taxable year. For the purpose of assisting our qualification as a REIT for United
States federal income tax purposes, among other purposes, our charter prohibits beneficial or constructive
ownership by any person of more than a certain percentage, currently 9.8%, in value or by number of shares of
stock, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock or 9.8% in value of the
outstanding shares of our stock, which we refer to as the “ownership limit.” The constructive ownership rules
under the Code and our charter are complex and may cause shares of the outstanding common stock owned by a
group of related persons to be deemed to be constructively owned by one person. As a result, the acquisition of
less than 9.8% of our outstanding common stock or our stock by a person could cause a person to own
constructively in excess of 9.8% of our outstanding common stock or our stock, respectively, and thus violate the
ownership limit. There can be no assurance that our board of directors, as permitted in the charter, will not
decrease this ownership limit in the future, and any decision to grant a waiver from the ownership limit in any
particular instance is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. Any attempt to own or transfer shares of our
common stock in excess of the ownership limit without the consent of our board of directors will result either in
the shares of stock in excess of the limit being transferred by operation of the charter to a charitable trust, and the
person who attempted to acquire such excess shares of stock will not have any rights in such excess shares of
stock, or in the transfer being void. The ownership limit may have the effect of precluding a change in control of
us by a third party, even if such change in control would be in the best interests of our stockholders or would
result in receipt of a premium to the price of our common stock (and even if such change in control would not
reasonably jeopardize our REIT status).
The cash available for distribution to stockholders may not be sufficient to pay dividends at expected levels,
nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future. We may use borrowed funds or our
own funds to make distributions.
The Code generally requires that a REIT annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income,
determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain, and imposes
tax on any REIT taxable income retained by a REIT, including capital gains. We anticipate making quarterly
distributions to our stockholders. We expect that the cash required to fund our dividends will be covered by cash
generated by operations. However, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders will depend upon the
performance of our asset portfolio. If our operations do not generate sufficient cash flow to allow us to satisfy the
REIT distribution requirements, we may be required to fund distributions from working capital, borrow funds,
raise additional equity capital, sell assets, issue distributions in our own stock, or reduce our distributions.
Furthermore, if such cash available for distribution decreases in future periods from expected levels, our
inability to make the expected distributions could result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock.
In addition, our charter allows us to issue preferred stock that could have a preference over our common stock as
54
to distributions. All distributions will be made at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend
upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, financial condition, cash flows
and liquidity, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other tax considerations, capital expenditure and other
obligations, debt covenants, contractual prohibitions or other limitations, and applicable law and such other
matters as our board of directors may deem relevant from time to time.
We may not be able to make distributions in the future. In addition, some of our distributions may include a
return of capital. To the extent that we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated
earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for United States federal
income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in their stock. A return of capital is not
taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that
distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s stock, they will be treated as gain from the sale or
exchange of such stock. If we borrow to fund distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby
reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been.
We may choose to make distributions in our own stock that require you to pay income taxes in excess of any
cash distributions.
We may make distributions to our stockholders that are payable in cash and/or shares of our common stock.
As a result, stockholders may be required to pay income taxes with respect to such distributions in excess of any
cash portion of the distribution received, and it may be necessary to sell stocks received in such distribution at a
time that may be disadvantageous, in order to satisfy any tax imposed on such distribution. Furthermore, with
respect to certain non-United States holders, we may be required to withhold United States tax with respect to
such distribution, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is payable in stock, by
withholding or disposing of part of the stock included in such distribution and using the proceeds of such
disposition to satisfy the withholding tax imposed. In addition, if a significant number of our stockholders
determine to sell shares of our common stock in order to pay taxes owed on dividend income, such sale may put
downward pressure on the market price of our common stock.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes that could increase our tax liability, reduce
our operating flexibility, and reduce the price of our common stock.
The Internal Revenue Service, the United States Treasury Department, and Congress frequently review
United States federal income tax legislation, regulations, and other guidance. We cannot predict whether, when
or to what extent new United States federal tax laws, regulations, interpretations, or rulings will be adopted. Any
legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify our tax treatment and, therefore, may adversely
affect our taxation or our stockholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in our
stock or on the market value or the resale potential of our assets. You are urged to consult with your tax advisor
with respect to the status of legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals and their
potential effect on an investment in our stock. Although REITs generally receive certain tax advantages
compared to entities taxed as C corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having
fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to
be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a C corporation. As a result, our charter provides our
board of directors with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT
election and cause us to be taxed as a C corporation, without the approval of our stockholders.
Our ownership of TRSs is subject to limitations, and our transactions with our TRSs will cause us to be
subject to a 100% excise tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on
arm’s-length terms.
The Code provides that no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s assets may consist of stock or securities
of one or more TRSs. Our TRSs earn income that would not be qualifying income if earned directly by the parent
55
REIT and may also be used to hold certain properties the sale of which may not qualify for the safe harbor for
prohibited transactions. These limitations on ownership of TRS stock could limit the extent to which we can
conduct these activities and other activities through our TRSs. In addition, the tax rules may limit the
deductibility of interest paid or accrued by a TRS to its parent REIT. The rules also impose a 100% excise tax on
certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the TRS limitations or avoid application of the 100%
excise tax.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “INVH.”
Holders
As of February 18, 2022, there were 49 holders of record of 607,652,169 shares of common stock
outstanding. This does not include the number of stockholders who hold shares of our common stock through
banks, brokers, and other financial institutions.
Dividends
We have elected to qualify as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes. The Code generally
requires that a REIT annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to
the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain, and imposes tax on any REIT taxable
income retained by a REIT, including capital gains. To satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT and to avoid
paying tax on our income, we intend to make quarterly distributions of all, or substantially all, of our REIT
taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders.
For income tax purposes, dividends paid to holders of common stock primarily consist of ordinary income,
capital gains, qualified dividends, unrecaptured Section 1250 gains, and return of capital, or a combination
thereof. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, dividends per share held for the entire year were
estimated to be taxable as follows:

Overview
Invitation Homes is a leading owner and operator of single-family homes for lease, offering residents high-
quality homes in sought-after neighborhoods across America. With over 80,000 homes for lease in 16 markets
across the country as of December 31, 2021, we are meeting the needs of a growing share of Americans who
prefer the ease of leasing over the burden of owning a home. We provide our residents access to updated homes
with features they value, as well as close proximity to jobs and access to good schools. The continued demand for
our product proves that the choice and flexibility we offer is attractive to many prospective residents.
We operate in markets with strong demand drivers, high barriers to entry, and high rent growth potential,
primarily in the Western United States, Florida, and the Southeast United States. Through disciplined market and
asset selection, as well as through strategic mergers and acquisitions, we designed our portfolio to capture the
operating benefits of local density as well as economies of scale that we believe cannot be readily replicated.
Since our founding in 2012, we have built a proven, vertically integrated operating platform that enables us to
effectively and efficiently acquire, renovate, lease, maintain, and manage our homes.
Our homes average approximately 1,870 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, appealing to a
resident base that we believe is less transitory than a typical multifamily resident. We invest in the upfront
renovation of homes in our portfolio in order to address capital needs, reduce ongoing maintenance costs, and
drive resident demand.
At Invitation Homes, we are committed to creating a better way to live and to being a force for positive
change, while at the same time advancing efforts that make our company more innovative and our processes
more sustainable. ESG initiatives are an important part of our strategic business objectives and are critical to our
long-term success.
Our mission statement, “Together with you, we make a house a home,” reflects our commitment to high-
touch customer service that continuously enhances residents’ living experiences and provides homes where
individuals and families can thrive. Each aspect of our operations — whether in our corporate headquarters or
field offices located in our 16 markets — is driven by a resident-centric model. Our associates take our values
seriously and work hard every day to honor the trust our residents have placed in us to provide safe and secure
homes for them and their loved ones. In turn, we focus on ensuring our associates are fairly compensated and that
we provide a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture where they are appreciated for who they are and what they
bring to the business. We also place a strong emphasis on the impact we have in our communities and to the
environment in general, and we continue to develop programs that will demonstrate that commitment. In
addition, we ensure that we operate under strong, well-defined governance practices and adhere to the highest
ethical standards at all times.
59
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly, adversely affecting public health, economic activity, financial
markets and employment. The continued development and fast-changing nature of the COVID-19 pandemic
creates many unknowns that impact our residents, associates, and suppliers. The ultimate impacts remain
unknown, but have included and could range from macroeconomic effects (such as continued strain on global
and United States economic conditions and disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets,
consumer spending, supply chains, and the market for acquisition and disposition of single-family homes) to
more industry-specific effects (such as depressed collection rates, higher or lower occupancy levels, and
restrictions on evictions, collections, rent increases, and late fees), and other unanticipated consequences.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have maintained continuity in business operations and have
supported our residents and associates by implementing a host of measures and protocols that enable our teams to
safely provide outstanding service to residents. These protocols include: (1) implementing a safety training
program and providing personal protective equipment for all associates; (2) creating flexible work schedules for
our associates in terms of both location and hours of work; (3) adhering to strict safety protocols for maintenance
service trips; (4) leveraging self-show and virtual-tour technology; and (5) offering virtual options for resident
move-in orientations and pre-move-out visits.
We also believe that we are in material compliance with federal, state, and local restrictions on items such
as evictions, collections, rent increases, and late fees as appropriate. Additionally, to act on our core values of
“Genuine Care” and “Standout Citizenship,” we offer flexible solutions for residents experiencing financial
hardship when requested, including payment plans and late fee abatements. We continue to work with
residents experiencing financial hardship to find solutions that keep them in their homes. This includes
continuing to provide residents with information about rental assistance programs for which they may be
eligible, application instructions, necessary documentation, and owner requirements. We have helped
thousands of residents apply for rental assistance programs and, as a result, they have received $48.0 million
in rental assistance payments during the year ended December 31, 2021, and $50.5 million cumulatively since
such programs were put in place.
Neither the aforementioned procedural adjustments nor the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
created significant disruptions to our business model during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The situation surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its variants remains fluid, and we continue
to actively monitor the effects of the pandemic and manage our response in collaboration with our residents and
business partners and to assess potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as
potential adverse developments in our business.
For further discussion of risks related to the pandemic, see Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors — Risks Related
to Our Business and Industry — Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may
be adversely affected by pandemics and outbreaks of infectious disease, particularly the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Other Matters
In July 2021, we received congressional inquiries requesting information and documentation about our
eviction practices during the COVID-19 pandemic, including information relating to compliance with federal
eviction moratorium requirements and cooperation with impacted residents to use federal assistance funds as an
alternative to eviction. In October 2021 and January 2022, we received additional congressional inquiries
requesting information about our activities in the housing market. We are in the process of responding to and
cooperating with these inquiries and information requests.
60
In August 2021, we received a letter from the staff of the Federal Trade Commission requesting information
as to how we conduct our business generally and during the COVID-19 pandemic specifically. We are in the
process of responding to and cooperating with this request.
As these inquiries are ongoing, we cannot currently predict their timing, outcome, or scope.
Climate Change
Climate change continues to attract considerable public, political, and scientific attention. Experiencing or
addressing the various physical, regulatory, and adaptation/transition risks of climate change may affect our
profitability. Government authorities and various interest groups are promoting laws and regulations relating to
climate change, including regulations aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of
“green” building codes. These laws and regulations may require us to make costly improvements to our existing
properties beyond our current plans to decrease the impact of our homes on the environment, resulting in
increased operating costs. Implementation of any voluntary improvements requires consideration of multiple
factors, including whether such elections would raise our costs to maintain our homes. Alternatively, choosing
not to enhance our homes’ resource efficiency could make our portfolio less attractive to residents and investors
and/or increase the vulnerability of our residents to rising energy and water expenses and use restrictions.
As the climate continues to change, and with a portfolio located in a variety of United States markets that
include coastal areas, we recognize the increased potential for acute weather events and other climate-related
impacts to our business, operations, and homes. We take a proactive approach to protect our properties against
potential risks related to climate change and business interruptions, and we recognize that we must continue to
adapt our policies, objectives, and processes to improve the resiliency of our physical properties and our
business.
Our management and the Board of Directors are focused on managing our business risks, including climate
change-related risks. The process to identify, manage, and integrate climate-change risk is part of our enterprise
risk management program. For more information on risks related to climate change, see Part I. Item 1A. “Risk
Factors — Risks Related to Environmental, Social, and Governance Issues — Climate change, related
legislative and regulatory responses to climate change, and the transition to a lower-carbon economy may
adversely affect our business, and — We are subject to risks from natural disasters such as earthquakes and
severe weather.”

Factors That Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, many of which are
beyond our control. See Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for more information regarding factors that could
materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Key factors that impact our results of
operations and financial condition include market fundamentals, rental rates and occupancy levels, collection
rates, turnover rates and days to re-resident homes, property improvements and maintenance, property
acquisitions and renovations, and financing arrangements. Sensitivity to many of these factors has been
heightened as a result of the ongoing and numerous adverse impacts of COVID-19.
Market Fundamentals: Our results are impacted by housing market fundamentals and supply and demand
conditions in our markets, particularly in the Western United States and Florida, which represented 71.1% of our
rental revenues and other property income during the year ended December 31, 2021. We actively monitor the
impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and its resulting macroeconomic impacts on market fundamentals and quickly
implement changes in pricing as market fundamentals shift.
Rental Rates and Occupancy Levels: Rental rates and occupancy levels are primary drivers of rental
revenues and other property income. Our rental rates and occupancy levels are affected by macroeconomic
factors and local and property-level factors, including market conditions, seasonality, resident defaults, and the
amount of time it takes to prepare a home for its next resident and re-lease homes when residents vacate. An
important driver of rental rate growth is our ability to increase monthly rents from expiring leases, which
typically have a term of one to two years. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our ability
to increase rents in certain markets.
Collection Rates: Our rental revenues and other property income is impacted by the rate at which we collect
such revenues from our residents. We routinely work with residents facing financial hardships who need
flexibility to fulfill their lease obligations, but the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of
such residents. When requested, we work with these residents to create payment plans, without late fees, and then
actively manage these receivables. Additionally, we work with residents to identify and pursue rental assistance
payments from various federal, state, and local government and other entities providing such assistance. Despite
these efforts, a portion of amounts receivable may not ultimately be collected. Any amounts billed to residents
that have been deemed uncollectible along with our estimate of amounts that may ultimately be uncollectible
decrease our rental revenues and other property income.
Turnover Rates and Days to Re-Resident: Other drivers of rental revenues and property operating and
maintenance expense include the length of stay of our residents, resident turnover rates, and the number of days a
home is unoccupied between residents. Our operating results are also impacted by the amount of time it takes to
market and lease a property, which is a component of the number of days a home is unoccupied between
residents. The period of time to market and lease a property can vary greatly and is impacted by local demand,
our marketing techniques, the size of our available inventory, the ability of our suppliers and other business
partners to carry out their assigned tasks and/or source labor or supply materials at ordinary levels of
performance relative to the conduct of our business, and both current economic conditions and future economic
outlook. Many of these factors have been and continue to be impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, our turnover rate may be affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic as a result of delayed
eviction proceedings and/or move outs potentially being canceled by residents who have not secured their next
housing plans. Increases in turnover rates and the average number of days to re-resident reduce rental revenues as
the homes are not generating income during this period of vacancy.
Property Improvements and Maintenance: Property improvements and maintenance impact capital
expenditures, property operating and maintenance expense, and rental revenues. We actively manage our homes
on a total portfolio basis to determine what capital and maintenance needs may be required and what
opportunities we may have to generate additional revenues or expense savings from such expenditures. Due to
63
our size and scale both nationally and locally, we believe we are able to purchase goods and services at favorable
prices.
While the COVID-19 outbreak has required us to modify our property improvement and maintenance
procedures to accommodate resident preferences, we complete all maintenance work orders in a timely manner
unless a resident reports symptoms of or exposure to COVID-19.
Property Acquisitions and Renovations: Future growth in rental revenues and other property income may
be impacted by our ability to identify and acquire homes, our pace of property acquisitions, and the time and cost
required to renovate and lease a newly acquired home. Our ability to identify and acquire single-family homes
that meet our investment criteria is impacted by home prices in targeted acquisition locations, the inventory of
homes available for sale through our acquisition channels, and competition for our target assets. All of these
factors may be negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, potentially reducing the number of
homes we acquire.
The acquisition of homes involves expenditures in addition to payment of the purchase price, including
payments for acquisition fees, property inspections, closing costs, title insurance, transfer taxes, recording fees,
broker commissions, property taxes, and HOA fees (when applicable). Additionally, we typically incur costs to
renovate a home to prepare it for rental. The scope of renovation work varies, but may include paint, flooring,
carpeting, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing hardware, roof replacement, HVAC replacement, and other items
required to prepare the home for rental. The time and cost involved in accessing our homes and preparing them
for rental can significantly impact our financial performance. The time to renovate a newly acquired property can
vary significantly among homes for several reasons, including the property’s acquisition channel, the condition
of the property, whether the property was vacant when acquired, and whether there are any state or local
restrictions on our ability to complete renovations as an essential business function. Additionally, the ability of
our suppliers and other business partners to carry out their assigned tasks and/or source labor or supply materials
at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of our business have increased the time required to
renovate our homes. Due to our size and scale both nationally and locally, we believe we are able to purchase
goods and services at favorable prices.
Financing Arrangements: Financing arrangements directly impact our interest expense, our various debt
instruments, and our ability to acquire and renovate homes. We have historically utilized indebtedness to fund the
acquisition and renovation of new homes. Our current financing arrangements contain financial covenants, and
certain financing arrangements contain variable interest rate terms. Interest rates are impacted by market
conditions and the terms of the underlying financing arrangements. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a
widespread health crisis adversely affecting the economy and financial markets of many countries resulting in an
economic downturn that could negatively affect our ability to access financial markets as well as our business,
results of operations, and financial condition. See Part II. Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk” for further discussion regarding interest rate risk. Our future financing arrangements may not
have similar terms with respect to amounts, interest rates, financial covenants, and durations.
Components of Revenues and Expenses
The following is a description of the components of our revenues and expenses.
Revenues
Rental Revenues and Other Property Income
Rental revenues, net of any concessions and bad debt (including write-offs, credit reserves, and uncollectible
amounts), consist of rents collected under lease agreements related to our single-family homes for lease. We
enter into leases directly with our residents, and the leases typically have a term of one to two years.
64
Other property income is comprised of: (i) resident reimbursements for utilities, HOA fines, and other
charge-backs; (ii) rent and non-refundable deposits associated with pets; (iii) revenues from ancillary services
such as smart homes and HVAC replacement filters; and (iv) various other fees, including late fees and lease
termination fees, among others.
Joint Venture Management Fees
Joint venture management fees consist of asset and property management fees from our unconsolidated joint
ventures.
Expenses
Property Operating and Maintenance
Once a property is available for its initial lease, which we refer to as “rent-ready,” we incur ongoing
property-related expenses, which consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, HOA fees (when applicable),
market-level personnel expenses, utility expenses, repairs and maintenance, and property administration. Prior to
a property being “rent-ready,” certain of these expenses are capitalized as building and improvements. Once a
property is “rent-ready,” expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance thereafter are expensed as incurred,
and we capitalize expenditures that improve or extend the life of a home.
Property Management Expense
Property management expense represents personnel and other costs associated with the oversight and
management of our portfolio of homes, including those within our unconsolidated joint ventures. All of our
homes are managed through our internal property manager.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense represents personnel costs, professional fees, and other costs associated
with our day-to-day activities. General and administrative expense may also include expenses that are of a
non-recurring nature, such as severance.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
All share-based compensation expense is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as
components of general and administrative expense and property management expense. We issue share-based
awards to align the interests of our associates with those of our investors.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest payable on our debt instruments, payments and receipts related to our
interest rate swap agreements, amortization of discounts and deferred financing costs, unrealized gains (losses)
on non-designated hedging instruments, and non-cash interest expense related to our interest rate swap
agreements.
Depreciation and Amortization
We recognize depreciation and amortization expense associated with our homes and other capital
expenditures over the expected useful lives of the assets.
65
Impairment and Other
Impairment and other represents provisions for impairment when the carrying amount of our single-family
residential properties is not recoverable and casualty (gains) losses, net of any insurance recoveries.
Gains (Losses) on Investments in Equity Securities, net
Gains (losses) on investments in equity securities, net includes unrealized gains and losses resulting from
mark to market adjustments and realized gains and losses resulting from the sale of such securities.
Other, net
Other, net includes interest income and other miscellaneous income and expenses.
Gain on Sale of Property, net of tax
Gain on sale of property, net of tax consists of net gains and losses resulting from sales of our homes.
Income (Loss) from Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consists of our share of net earnings and
losses from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for using the equity method.

Portfolio Information
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we owned 82,381 and 80,177 single-family rental homes, respectively,
in our total portfolio. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we acquired 2,938 and 2,252 homes,
respectively, and sold 734 and 1,580 homes, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
we owned an average of 80,901 and 79,530 single-family rental homes, respectively, in our total portfolio.
We believe presenting information about the portion of our total portfolio that has been fully operational for
the entirety of both a given reporting period and its prior year comparison period provides investors with
meaningful information about the performance of our comparable homes across periods, and about trends in our
organic business. To do so, we provide information regarding the performance of our Same Store portfolio.
As of December 31, 2021, our Same Store portfolio consisted of 72,245 single-family rental homes.
Revenues
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total revenues were $1,996.6 million and
$1,822.8 million, respectively. Set forth below is a discussion of changes in the individual components of total
revenues.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total portfolio rental revenues and other property income
totaled $1,991.7 million and $1,822.8 million, respectively, an increase of 9.3%, driven by an increase in average
occupancy, an increase in average monthly rent per occupied home, and an 1,371 home increase between periods
in the average number of homes owned.
Average occupancy for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for the total portfolio was 97.0% and
96.1%, respectively. Average monthly rent per occupied home for the total portfolio for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $1,972 and $1,875, respectively, a 5.2% increase. For our Same Store
portfolio, average occupancy was 98.2% and 97.5% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, and average monthly rent per occupied home for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was
$1,969 and $1,874, respectively, a 5.1% increase.
The annual turnover rate for the Same Store portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was
22.9% and 26.4%, respectively. For the Same Store portfolio, an average home remained unoccupied for 28 and
36 days between residents for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decreases in these
two metrics contributed to our increase in average occupancy on a year over year basis. Our turnover rate may
have been, and may continue to be, impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., eviction
moratoriums and residents who are not inclined to relocate during this period). We cannot predict how long
existing eviction moratoriums will remain in place, if new eviction moratoriums will be issued and/or reinstated,
or when the general effects of the pandemic will subside and how those items may affect our turnover and
occupancy rates.
To monitor prospective changes in average monthly rent per occupied home, we compare the monthly rent
from an expiring lease to the monthly rent from the next lease for the same home, in each case, net of any
amortized non-service concessions, to calculate net effective rental rate growth. Leases are either renewal leases,
where our current resident stays for a subsequent lease term, or new leases, where our previous resident moves
out and a new resident signs a lease to occupy the same home.
Renewal lease net effective rental rate growth for the total portfolio averaged 6.7% and 3.7% for the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and new lease net effective rental rate growth for the total
portfolio averaged 14.3% and 4.4% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For our Same
Store portfolio, renewal lease net effective rental rate growth averaged 6.7% and 3.7% for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and new lease net effective rental rate growth averaged 14.4% and
4.2% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
68
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted rental revenues and other property income since the
onset of the pandemic in mid-March 2020 in two notable ways: (1) collection rates have decreased from
pre-pandemic levels which negatively impacts bad debt as a percentage of gross rental income; and (2) a
significant portion of all late fees typically enforced in accordance with our lease agreements were not enforced
or collected for a significant period of time. As of the third quarter of 2021, bad debt began to moderate
compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Enforcement and collections of late fees generally
re-commenced in all markets where permissible beginning in the second quarter of 2021. While the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing jurisdictional restrictions on rental rates, late fees, collections, and
evictions have decreased over time, they may continue to affect our future collection rates, ability to increase
rental revenues in certain markets, and fees and other ancillary income charged to residents.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, joint venture management fees totaled $4.9 million.
Expenses
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, total expenses were $1,777.0 million and
$1,709.6 million, respectively. Set forth below is a discussion of changes in the individual components of total
expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, property operating and maintenance expense increased to
$706.2 million from $680.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to an 1,371 home increase
between periods in the average number of homes owned, increases in property taxes, utilities, personnel and
other services costs, and HOA expenses, partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance and turnover
costs, resulted in the overall 3.8% net increase in property operating and maintenance expense.
Property management expense and general and administrative expense increased to $147.4 million from
$121.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is comprised
primarily of a $10.1 million increase in share-based compensation expense due to changes in expected results for
performance-based awards and a $9.7 million increase in short term incentive plan compensation based on
estimated annual performance. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our property
management and general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense decreased from $353.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $322.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to refinancing activities
since December 31, 2020 and the impact of the December 2020 amended and restated credit facility. During the
year ended December 31, 2021, we issued $1,950.0 million of newly issued unsecured notes, repaid
$1,766.9 million of mortgage loan indebtedness, and converted $203.5 million of convertible debt into shares of
our common stock. These financing activities resulted in a 25 bps decrease in the weighted average interest rate
on our outstanding debt between the respective period ends, inclusive of a 55 bps reduction in the spread on our
term loan facility as a result of achieving an investment grade rating.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $592.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021
from $552.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to an increase in cumulative capital expenditures
and an increase in the average number of homes owned during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to
the year ended December 31, 2020.
Impairment and other expenses were $8.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, impairment and other expenses were
comprised of impairment losses of $0.7 million on our single-family residential properties and net casualty losses
of $8.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, impairment and other expenses were comprised of
impairment losses of $4.6 million on our single-family residential properties, offset by net gains on casualty
losses of $3.9 million. The impairment costs recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
were not a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
69
Gains (Losses) on Investments in Equity Securities, net
For the year ended December 31, 2021, $9.4 million of losses on investments in equity securities, net was
comprised of $5.5 million of net losses recognized on investments sold during the year, including the reversal of
unrealized gains recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, and $3.9 million net unrealized losses
recognized on investments held as of December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, $29.7 million
of unrealized gains were recognized on investments held as of year end.
Other, net
Other, net was $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $0.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020, primarily due to lower interest income from our investments in debt securities and
increases in transaction and administrative costs between those periods, partially offset by the non-recurrence of
a $1.8 million ROU lease impairment during the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, joint venture
management fees and income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures presented separately on
our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 were included in other, net
during the year ended December 31, 2020.
Gain on Sale of Property, net of tax
Gain on sale of property, net of tax was $60.0 million and $54.6 million for the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The primary driver of the increase was an increase in disposition proceeds received
per home between periods, offset by a decrease in the number of homes sold from 1,580 for the year ended
December 31, 2020 to 734 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Income (Loss) from Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures was comprised of our equity in earnings
and/or (losses) therefrom on a net basis.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
For similar operating and financial data and discussion of our year ended December 31, 2020 results
compared to our year ended December 31, 2019 results, refer to Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2020 10-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 include unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents of $610.2 million and $213.4 million, respectively, a 185.9% increase primarily due to the capital
markets activity described below, net of cash used to fund acquisitions of single-family residential properties.
The following significant activity occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021:
•
•
•
In May 2021, we issued and sold $300.0 million of unsecured notes in a private placement transaction.
We used the proceeds to repay $300.0 million of the highest-cost classes of various securitizations due
to reach final maturity between December 2024 and January 2026.
In August 2021, we issued and sold $650.0 million of unsecured notes in an underwritten public
offering. We used the proceeds to repay $635.3 million of the highest-cost classes of various
securitizations due to reach final maturity between December 2024 and January 2026.
In November 2021, we issued and sold $1,000.0 million of unsecured notes in an underwritten public
offering. We used the proceeds to repay $798.2 million of various securitizations, including full
repayment of IH 2017-2 and partial repayment of IH 2018-3, and for general corporate purposes,
including acquisitions.
70
• We completed an underwritten public offering to sell 14,375,000 shares of our common stock,
including 1,875,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of the option to purchase
additional shares, and generated net proceeds of $571.2 million (the “2021 Public Offering”). Proceeds
were and will be used primarily for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
• We sold 9,008,528 shares of our common stock under our at the market equity program (“2019 ATM
Equity Program”), generating net proceeds of $362.6 million after giving effect to agent commissions
and other costs totaling $6.2 million. We terminated the 2019 ATM Equity Program immediately after
entering into the 2021 ATM Equity Program (defined below).
•
•
In November 2021, we agreed to invest $250.0 million with Pathway Homes, a new real estate
company that provides customers multiple options to purchase a home whereby they are able to first
lease and then purchase the home in the future. In addition to investing in the homes and technology
platform for the startup and its real estate fund, we will provide maintenance and other services to all
Pathway Homes properties, enabling us to broaden our third party property management services. As
of December 31, 2021, we have invested $25.0 million in the joint venture.
In December 2021, we entered into a new at the market equity program (the “2021 ATM Equity
Program”) to sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock, with an aggregate sales price of up
to $1,250.0 million through at the market and forward offerings. No shares had been issued under the
2021 ATM Equity Program as of December 31, 2021.
• We settled $203.5 million of the 2022 Convertible Notes through the issuance of 8,943,374 shares of
our common stock.
As of December 31, 2021, our $1,000.0 million revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) remains
undrawn, and there are no restrictions on our ability to draw additional funds thereunder provided we remain in
compliance with all covenants. We have no debt reaching final maturity until March 2025, provided all
extensions are exercised, with the exception of $141.5 million of 2022 Convertible Notes which matured on
January 15, 2022. On January 18, 2022, we settled the outstanding principal balance of the 2022 Convertible
Notes with the issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our common stock and a cash payment of $0.3 million.
Our ability to access capital as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs,
all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, could be affected by various risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and general economic conditions, as detailed
in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

conditions being met.
IH 2017-1 bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.23% per annum, equal to the market determined pass-through
rate payable on the certificates including applicable servicing fees.
72
(4)
Interest rates are based on a weighted average spread over LIBOR (or a comparable or successor rate as
provided for in our loan agreements), plus applicable servicing fees; as of December 31, 2021, LIBOR was
0.10%.
(5) The Secured Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.59% per annum including applicable servicing
fees for the first 11 years and for the twelfth year bears interest at a floating rate based on a spread of 147
bps over one month LIBOR (or a comparable or successor rate as provided for in our loan agreement),
including applicable servicing fees, subject to certain adjustments as outlined in the loan agreement. Interest
payments are made monthly.
(6) For secured debt, unsecured debt, and total debt, the weighted average interest rate is calculated based on
LIBOR as of December 31, 2021, 0.10%, and includes the impact of interest rate swap agreements effective
as of that date.
(7) Effective July 15, 2021, we notified note holders of our intent to settle conversions of the 2022 Convertible
Notes in shares of common stock. On January 18, 2022, we settled the outstanding principal balance of the
2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our common stock and a cash payment of
$0.3 million.
As part of our long-term debt strategy, our goal is to improve our credit ratings, and, over time, we generally
intend to target a reduction in our level of net debt to approximately 5.5 to 6.0 times trailing twelve months
Adjusted EBITDAre (see “— Non-GAAP Measures — EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre”), a
reduction in our level of secured debt to less than 20% of gross assets, and an increase in our level of
unencumbered assets to greater than 70% of gross assets. To facilitate our long-term debt strategy we expect to
seek to, among other things, (a) refinance a significant portion of our secured debt maturing in 2025 through
2026 (assuming all extension options are exercised) with unsecured debt, including potential unsecured bond
issuances and/or (b) repay a portion of such debt. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
implementing our long-term debt strategy, improving our credit ratings, or achieving our targets in the short or
medium term or at all, or that we will not change our strategy or targets in the future. Even if we do achieve our
targets, we may from time to time fall outside of our target ranges; and there can be no assurance that we will
continue to meet our targets. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to access the capital and
credit markets to obtain additional unsecured debt financing or that we will be able to obtain financing on terms
favorable to us. For further discussion of risks related to our indebtedness, see Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors —
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness,” including “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Indebtedness — We may
be unable to obtain financing through the debt and equity markets, which would have a material adverse
effect on our growth strategy and our financial condition and results of operations.”
Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our
operations, make dividend payments to our stockholders, and meet other general requirements of our business.
Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond
our control. Our near-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of:
•
•
acquisition of homes currently under contract;
renovation of newly-acquired homes;
• HOA fees (as applicable), property taxes, insurance premiums, and the ongoing maintenance of our
•
•
•
•
homes;
property management and general and administrative expenses;
interest expense;
dividend payments to our equity investors; and
required contributions to our joint ventures.
73
We believe our rental income, net of total expenses, will generally provide cash flow sufficient to fund
operations and dividend payments on a near-term basis. Additionally, we have guaranteed the funding of certain
tax, insurance, and non-conforming property reserves related to the financing of one of our joint ventures. We do
not expect this guarantee to have a material current or future effect on our liquidity. See Part IV. Item 15.
“Exhibits and Financial Statements — Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional
information about our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our operating cash flow such that we are unable
to make required debt service payments, which would result in an event of default for any debt instrument under
whose loan agreement such payments were not made. Specifically, the collateral within individual borrower
entities may underperform, resulting in cash flow shortfalls for debt service while consolidated cash flows are
sufficient to fund our operations. If an event of default occurs for a specific mortgage loan or for our secured
term loan, our loan agreements provide certain remedies, including our ability to fund shortfalls from
consolidated cash flow; and such an event of default would not result in an immediate acceleration of the loan.
Our real estate assets are illiquid in nature. A timely liquidation of assets may not be a viable source of
short-term liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise, and we may need to source liquidity from other financing
sources, such as the Revolving Facility, which had an undrawn balance of $1,000.0 million as of December 31,
2021.
Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition of, and
non-recurring capital expenditures for, our homes, and principal and interest payments of our indebtedness. We
intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash provided by operations, long-term secured and
unsecured borrowings, the issuance of debt and equity securities, and property dispositions. As a REIT, we are
required to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our taxable income, excluding net capital gain, on an
annual basis. Therefore, as a general matter, it is unlikely that we will be able to retain substantial cash balances
from our annual taxable income that could be used to meet our liquidity needs. Instead, we will need to meet
these needs from external sources of capital and amounts, if any, by which our cash flow generated from
operations exceeds taxable income.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2021, consist of the following:

Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statements — Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Includes estimated interest payments through the extended maturity date based on the principal amount
outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Interest is calculated at rates in effect as of such date; for LIBOR
based loans, the December 31, 2021 LIBOR, or 0.10%, is held constant until the maturity date.

extension options.
Includes the related unused commitment fee.

(5) Represents the principal amount and interest obligation of the 2022 Convertible Notes which is calculated
using the notes’ coupon rate. The 2022 Convertible Notes principal amount of $141.5 million is included in
2022 maturities presented above. On January 18, 2022, we settled the outstanding principal balance of the
2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our common stock and a cash payment of
$0.3 million.
Includes interest rate swap and interest rate cap obligations calculated using LIBOR as of December 31,
2021, or 0.10%.
(6)
(7) Represents commitments to acquire 360 single-family rental homes. The amounts above do not include
commitments pursuant to binding purchase agreements with certain homebuilders for the purchase of 1,357
homes over the next six years. Estimated remaining commitments under these agreements total
approximately $420.0 million as of December 31, 2021.
Additionally, we have a commitment, which is not reflected in the table above, to make additional capital
contributions to our joint ventures. As of December 31, 2021, our remaining equity commitments to the joint
ventures total $244.4 million.
LIBOR Transition
Certain securitizations, the Secured Term Loan, the Term Loan Facility, and the Revolving Facility
(collectively, the “LIBOR-Based Loans”) use the one month LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing interest
rates. Our derivative instruments are also indexed to one month LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the Financial
Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom, which has statutory powers to require panel banks to contribute to
LIBOR, announced that it would cease publication of the one week and two month USD LIBOR immediately
after December 31, 2021 and cease publication of the remaining tenors immediately after June 30, 2023. Once
one month LIBOR is phased out after June 30, 2023, the interest rates for our LIBOR-Based Loans will be based
on a comparable or successor rate as provided for in our loan agreements. We will work with the counterparties
to our swap and cap agreements to adjust each floating rate to a comparable or successor rate. While we do not
expect that the transition from LIBOR and risks related thereto will have a material adverse effect on our
financing costs, the ultimate outcome of this change is uncertain at this time, and significant management time
and attention may be required to transition to using the new benchmark rates and to implement necessary
changes to our financial models.
Supplemental Guarantor Information
In March 2020, the SEC adopted amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X and created Rule 13-01 to
simplify disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities. The amendments became effective on
January 4, 2021. INVH, INVH LP, the General Partner, and IH Merger Sub, LLC (“IH Merger Sub”) have filed a
registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of INVH LP,
fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by INVH, the General Partner, and/or
IH Merger Sub. As a result of the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, subsidiary issuers of obligations
guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary
obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is “full
and unconditional” and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by
Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly,
separate consolidated financial statements of INVH LP, the General Partner, and IH Merger Sub have not been
presented.
75
Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded the summarized
financial information for the INVH LP, the General Partner, and IH Merger Sub, because the combined assets,
liabilities, and results of operations of INVH, INVH LP, the General Partner, and IH Merger Sub are not
materially different than the corresponding amounts in our consolidated financial statements, and management
believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to
investors.
Purchase of Outstanding Debt Securities or Loans
As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding debt or debt
securities that we may issue in the future, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or
otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any
purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our consolidated balance sheet or the incurrence of
new secured or unsecured debt, including borrowings under our Credit Facility. The amounts involved in any
such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may be with
respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the attendant reduction in the trading
liquidity of such class or series. In addition, any such purchases made at prices below the “adjusted issue price”
(as defined for United States federal income tax purposes) may result in taxable cancellation of indebtedness
income to us, which amounts may be material, and in related adverse tax consequences to us.

Operating Activities
Our cash flows provided by operating activities depend on numerous factors, including the occupancy level
of our homes, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collection of rent from our residents, and the amount of
our operating and other expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities was $907.7 million and
$696.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, an increase of 30.3%. The
increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by improved operational profitability, including an
$148.2 million increase in total revenues net of property operating and maintenance expense from period to
period and a net $70.8 million source of cash from an increase in changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities consists primarily of the acquisition costs of homes, capital
improvements, proceeds from property sales, and investments in our joint ventures. Net cash used in investing
activities was $1,159.6 million and $425.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
76
respectively, an increase of $734.4 million. The increase in net cash used in investing activities resulted primarily
from the combined effect of the following significant changes in cash flows during the year ended December 31,
2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020: (1) an increase in cash used for the acquisition of homes;
(2) a decrease in proceeds from the sale of homes; (3) an increase in amounts deposited and held by others for
acquisitions of homes; and (4) an increase in cash used for investments in joint ventures. More specifically,
acquisition spend increased $505.1 million due to an increase in the number of homes acquired from 2,252
during the year ended December 31, 2020 to 2,938 homes acquired during the year ended December 31, 2021
and an increase in average cost per home. Proceeds from sales of homes decreased $183.3 million from the year
ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2021 due to a significant decrease in the number of
homes sold from 1,580 to 734, respectively, partially offset by an increase in proceeds per home. Cash deposited
and held by others increased $59.2 million due to increased deposits made to homebuilders for the acquisition of
new-build single-family residential properties. Investments in joint ventures increased $48.7 million due to
increased contributions to our joint ventures during year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $659.0 million and $(146.0) million for the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received
$1,938.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance and sale of unsecured notes which were used to repay
$1,766.9 million of principal on our mortgage loans, including full repayment of IH 2017-2 and partial
repayments of IH 2018-1, IH 2018-2, IH 2018-3, and IH 2018-4. Issuances and sales of stock under our
terminated 2019 ATM Equity Program and the 2021 Public Offering generated $933.8 million of net proceeds
during the year ended December 31, 2021. During that period, we also made $395.9 million of dividend and
distribution payments. During the year ended December 31, 2020, proceeds from our new Term Loan Facility of
$2,500.0 million and from issuances and sales of stock under our public offering and terminated ATM Equity
Program of $686.7 million, along with proceeds from home sales, were used (1) to repay the $1,500.0 million
outstanding balance of our 2017 term loan facility; (2) to repay $1,434.6 million of our mortgage loans, including
full repayment of SWH 2017-1 and partial repayments of IH 2018-1, IH 2018-2, IH 2018-3, and IH 2018-4; and
(3) to fund $334.3 million of dividend and distribution payments.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2019
For similar operating and financial data and discussion of our year ended December 31, 2020 results
compared to our year ended December 31, 2019 results, refer to Part II. Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2020 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with
the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain and that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimates. For a discussion of recently-issued and adopted
accounting standards, see Part IV. Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules — Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties
The following significant accounting policies affect the acquisition, disposition, recognition, classification,
and fair value measurements (on a nonrecurring basis) related to our portfolio of over 80,000 single-family
77
residential properties in 16 markets across the United States. For a complete discussion of our accounting policy
and other factors related to each category below, see Part IV. Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statement
Schedules — Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
• Acquisition of Real Estate Assets: Our purchases of homes are generally treated as asset acquisitions
unless acquired in connection with a business combination. For asset acquisitions, homes are recorded
at their purchase price, which is allocated between land, building and improvements, and in-place lease
intangibles (when a resident is in place at the acquisition date) based upon their relative fair values at
the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition
costs which typically include legal fees, bidding service and title fees, payments made to cure tax,
utility, HOA, and other mechanic’s and miscellaneous liens, as well as other closing costs. The
attributes and location of each home acquired are considered at the individual home level when
determining the percentage of purchase price allocated to building and improvements versus land. As
such, these allocation percentages vary based on the homes acquired during each reporting period. If
the percentage allocated to buildings and improvements versus land for the homes acquired during the
year ended December 31, 2021 was increased or decreased by 500 bps, our annualized depreciation
expense would have changed by approximately $2.0 million.
• Cost Capitalization: We incur costs to acquire, stabilize, and prepare our single-family residential
properties to be leased. We capitalize these costs as a component of our investment in each single-
family residential property, using specific identification and relative allocation methodologies. The
capitalization period associated with our stabilization activities begins at the time that such activities
commence and concludes at the time that a single-family residential property is available to be leased.
Once a property is ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs
thereafter are expensed to operations as incurred, and we capitalize expenditures that improve or extend
the life of a home and for certain furniture and fixtures additions.
The capitalized costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are
reviewed on an annual basis. The weighted average useful lives range from 7 years to 28.5 years. There
have not been any significant changes in our estimate of useful lives during the current reporting
period. If the useful lives for costs capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2021 were
increased or decreased by 10%, our annualized depreciation expense would have changed by
approximately $6.0 million.
• Provisions for Impairment: We continuously evaluate, by property, whether there are any events or
changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of our single-family residential properties
may not be recoverable. To the extent an event or change in circumstance is identified, a residential
property is considered to be impaired only if its carrying value cannot be recovered through estimated
future undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the property. To the extent an
impairment has occurred, the carrying amount of our investment in a property is adjusted to its
estimated fair value. The process whereby we assess our single-family residential properties for
impairment requires significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to
significant uncertainty. We evaluate multiple information sources and perform a number of internal
analyses, each of which are important components of our process with no one information source or
analysis being necessarily determinative. There have not been any significant process changes in our
review for impairment during the current reporting period. For those homes for which a change in an
event or circumstance was identified in the most recent impairment analysis, a 10% decrease in the
estimated fair value of those homes may have resulted in an increase in impairment expense of
approximately $0.3 million.
•
Single-Family Residential Properties Held for Sale: From time to time, we may identify single-family
residential properties to be sold. Once we identify a property to be sold pursuant to GAAP
requirements, we cease depreciating the property, measure the property at the lower of its carrying
amount or its fair value less estimated costs to sell, and present the property separately within other
78
assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021, 80 homes, less than 0.1% of
our portfolio, were held for sale, compared to 179 homes as of December 31, 2020. If market values
less disposal costs for our properties that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021 were
10% lower, our impairment expense related to those properties would have increased by approximately
$0.3 million. If the market values less disposal costs were 10% higher, our impairment expense would
not have changed.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
Under the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we have determined that we have one reportable
segment related to acquiring, renovating, leasing, and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The
CODM evaluates operating performance and allocates resources on a total portfolio basis. The CODM utilizes
NOI as the primary measure to evaluate performance of the total portfolio. The aggregation of individual homes
constitutes the total portfolio. Decisions regarding acquisitions and dispositions of homes are made at the
individual home level with a focus on accretive growth in high-growth locations where we have greater scale and
density.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental, non-GAAP measures often utilized to
evaluate the performance of real estate companies. We define EBITDA as net income or loss computed in
accordance with GAAP before the following items: interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation and
amortization; and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) recommends as a best practice that REITs that report an EBITDA performance
measure also report EBITDAre. Consistent with the Nareit definition, we define EBITDAre as EBITDA, further
adjusted for the following: gain on sale of property, net of tax; impairment on depreciated real estate investments;
and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.
Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre before the following items: share-based compensation
expense; severance; merger and transaction-related expenses; casualty (gains) losses, net; (gains) losses on
investments in equity securities, net; and other income and expenses. EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted
EBITDAre are used as supplemental financial performance measures by management and by external users of
our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks. Set forth below is additional detail on how
management uses EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of performance.
Our management uses EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre in a number of ways to assess our
consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe these measures are helpful to management and
external users in identifying trends in our performance. EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre help
management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial
goals and optimize our financial performance, while neutralizing the impact of capital structure on results.
Accordingly, we believe these metrics measure our financial performance based on operational factors that
management can impact in the short-term, namely our cost structure and expenses.
We believe that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre provides information
useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measure most
directly comparable to EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre is net income or loss. EBITDA,
79
EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are not used as measures of our liquidity and should not be considered
alternatives to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP. Our EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to the EBITDA, EBITDAre,
and Adjusted EBITDAre of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definitions of
EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for
computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) to
EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre for each of the periods indicated:

Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP measure often used to evaluate the performance of real estate companies. We define
NOI for an identified population of homes as rental revenues and other property income less property operating
and maintenance expense (which consists primarily of property taxes, insurance, HOA fees (when applicable),
market-level personnel expenses, utility expenses, repairs and maintenance, and property administration). NOI
excludes: interest expense; depreciation and amortization; property management expense; general and
administrative expense; impairment and other; gain on sale of property, net of tax; (gains) losses on investments
in equity securities, net; other income and expenses; joint venture management fees; and income (loss) from
investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

We consider NOI to be a meaningful supplemental financial measure of our performance when considered
with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe NOI is helpful to investors in
understanding the core performance of our real estate operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable
to NOI is net income or loss. NOI is not used as a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an
alternative to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with
GAAP. Our NOI may not be comparable to the NOI of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use
the same definition of NOI. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing this non-GAAP
measure is comparable with that of other companies.
We believe that Same Store NOI is also a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance
for the same reasons as NOI and is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of
our performance across reporting periods by reflecting NOI for homes in our Same Store portfolio.

Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO are supplemental, non-GAAP measures
often utilized to evaluate the performance of real estate companies. FFO is defined by Nareit as net income or
loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real
estate assets, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment of real estate assets, and adjustments for
unconsolidated joint ventures.
We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of the operating performance of our business
because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real
81
estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization. Because real
estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate
supplemental performance measure as it excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, impairment on
depreciated real estate investments, gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated homes, as well
non-controlling interests, from net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP). By excluding
depreciation and amortization and gains or losses on sales of real estate, management uses FFO to measure
returns on its investments in homes. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures
neither the changes in the value of the homes that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital
expenditures to maintain the operating performance of the homes, all of which have real economic effect and
could materially affect our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.
Management also believes that FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, is useful to investors
in providing more meaningful comparisons of the operating performance of a company’s real estate between
periods or as compared to other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to FFO is net income
or loss. FFO is not used as a measure of our liquidity and should not be considered an alternative to net income or
loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO may not be
comparable to the FFO of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definition of FFO.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing this non-GAAP measures is comparable
with that of other companies.
We believe that Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are also meaningful supplemental measures of our operating
performance for the same reasons as FFO and are further helpful to investors as they provide a more consistent
measurement of our performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not
comparable from period to period. We define Core FFO as FFO adjusted for the following: non-cash interest
expense related to amortization of deferred financing costs, loan discounts, and non-cash interest expense from
derivatives; share-based compensation expense; severance expense; merger and transaction-related expense;
casualty (gains) losses, net; and (gains) losses on investments in equity securities, net, as applicable. We define
Adjusted FFO as Core FFO less recurring capital expenditures, including adjustments for unconsolidated joint
ventures, that are necessary to help preserve the value, and maintain the functionality, of our homes. The GAAP
measure most directly comparable to Core FFO and Adjusted FFO is net income or loss. Core FFO and Adjusted
FFO are not used as measures of our liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or
any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Core FFO and Adjusted
FFO may not be comparable to the Core FFO and Adjusted FFO of other companies due to the fact that not all
companies use the same definition of Core FFO and Adjusted FFO. No adjustments were made to the Core FFO
and Adjusted FFO per common share — diluted computations for potential shares of common stock related to the
Convertible Senior Notes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing this non-GAAP
measures is comparable with that of other companies.

(4) On July 1, 2019, we settled the full outstanding balance of the 2019 Convertible Notes with the issuance of
12,553,864 shares of common stock, and these shares of common stock are included within all net income
(loss), FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO per common share calculations subsequent to that date. Using the
“if-converted” method, in the period prior to conversion for the year ended December 31, 2019, the 2019
83
Convertible Notes are excluded from net income (loss) per common share — diluted as they are anti-
dilutive and are reflected in the FFO per common share — diluted computation above, consistent with
Nareit’s guidance for calculating FFO per share. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the numerator for
FFO per common share — diluted is adjusted for $5,586 of interest expense on the 2019 Convertible Notes,
including non-cash amortization of discounts. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the denominator is
adjusted for 6,225,341 potential shares of common stock for the 2019 Convertible Notes for the period prior
to conversion. No such adjustments were made to Core FFO and AFFO per common share — diluted.
With respect to the 2022 Convertible Notes, during the year ended December 31, 2021, at the election of the
note holders, we settled $203,510 of principal outstanding for the 2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance
of 8,943,374 shares of common stock. These issued shares of common stock are included within all net
income, FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO per common share calculations subsequent to the conversion date.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the numerator for FFO per common share — diluted is
adjusted for interest expense on the 2022 Convertible Notes, including non-cash amortization of discounts,
totaling $14,364 and $17,181, respectively, and the denominator is adjusted for 11,293,203 and 15,100,443
potential shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes, respectively.
No such adjustments were made to Core FFO and AFFO per common share —diluted. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, 15,100,443 potential shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the 2022
Convertible Notes are excluded from the computation of net income or loss and FFO per common share —
diluted as they are anti-dilutive, and are excluded from Core FFO and AFFO per common share — diluted.

Incremental shares attributed to non-vested share-based awards totaling 1,528,453, 1,465,286, and
1,263,825 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, are included in weighted
average common shares outstanding in the calculation of net income per common share — diluted. For the
computations of FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO per common share — diluted, common share equivalents of
1,822,015, 1,851,297, and 1,748,787 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively,
related to incremental shares attributed to non-vested share-based awards are included in the denominator.
(6) Vested units of partnership interests in INVH LP (“OP Units”) have been excluded from the computation of
net income per common share — diluted for the periods above because all net income attributable to the
vested OP Units has been recorded as non-controlling interest and thus excluded from net income available
to common stockholders. Weighted average vested OP Units of 2,939,381, 3,463,285, and 5,940,757 for the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, are included in the denominator for the
computations of FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO per common share — diluted.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows, and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon
prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in interest rates,
seasonality, market prices, commodity prices, and inflation. The primary market risks to which we are exposed
are interest rate risk and seasonality. We may in the future use derivative financial instruments to manage, or
hedge, interest rate risks related to any borrowings we may have. We may enter into such contracts only with
major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors.
Interest Rate Risk
A primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many
factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political
considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the
future, including additional amounts that we may borrow under the Credit Facility. In addition, decreases in
interest rates may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of single-family homes, which may lead to
future acquisitions being more costly and resulting in lower yields on single-family homes targeted for
acquisition. Significant increases in interest rates may also have an adverse impact on our earnings if we are
unable to increase rents on expired leases or acquire single-family homes with rental rates high enough to offset
the increase in interest rates on our borrowings.
As of December 31, 2021, our outstanding variable-rate debt was comprised of borrowings on our mortgage
loans of $2,071.9 million and Term Loan Facility of $2,500.0 million for a combined total of $4,571.9 million.
We effectively converted 96.7% of these borrowings to a fixed rate through interest rate swap agreements.
Additionally, all borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread. Assuming no change in the
outstanding balance of our existing debt, the projected effect of a 100 bps increase or decrease in LIBOR on our
annual interest expense would be an estimated increase of $1.5 million or $20.9 million, respectively. This
estimate considers the impact of our interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, and any LIBOR
floors or minimum interest rates stated in the agreements of the respective borrowings. A 100 bps decrease in
LIBOR results in a negative LIBOR rate and additional interest expense for us. Our Credit Facility agreement
contains a LIBOR floor, and there is no reciprocal feature in our interest rate swap agreements.
This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist
in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we may consider taking actions to
further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that
would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.
Seasonality
Our business and related operating results have been, and we believe will continue to be, impacted by
seasonal factors throughout the year. In particular, we have experienced higher levels of resident move-outs
during the summer months, which impacts both our rental revenues and related turnover costs. Further, our
property operating costs are seasonally impacted in certain markets by increases in expenses such as HVAC
repairs and costs to re-resident during the summer season.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its goals
under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our
management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
December 31, 2021, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to
accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting
and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transaction are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States
generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets of the
Company that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may
deteriorate.
Our management with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021. This evaluation was based on the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our
assessment under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013), our management
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 to accomplish
their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that has audited the consolidated
financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The report is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Invitation Homes Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Invitation Homes Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion,
the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the
Company and our report dated February 22, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Invitation Homes Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Invitation Homes Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, other
comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to
as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021,
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2022, expressed an
unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to
accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter
below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it
relates.
Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties—Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company owned approximately 80,000 individual single-family residential properties with a net book value
of $17 billion as of December 31, 2021. The Company capitalizes costs to acquire, stabilize, and prepare
F-1
single-family residential properties to be leased. The determination of which costs to capitalize requires
significant management judgment. Costs capitalized in connection with single-family residential property
acquisitions, stabilization activities, and on an ongoing basis are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis. From time to time, the Company identifies single-family residential properties to be sold. At
the time such properties are identified, the Company evaluates whether or not such properties should be
classified as held for sale.
Given the number of homes and the volume and nature of the different transactions affecting the acquisition,
disposition, recognition, and classification of investments in single-family residential properties, performing
audit procedures to evaluate the accounting for investments in single-family residential properties was
challenging and required an increased extent of audit effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to whether the investments in single-family residential properties were accounted
for appropriately included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of relevant controls over investments in single-family residential properties,
including management’s controls over the acquisition, cost capitalization, classification, depreciation, and
disposition of its properties.
• We selected a sample of properties acquired during the year and evaluated the accuracy of the amounts
recorded and appropriate transfer of title.
• We selected a sample of costs capitalized during the year and evaluated the accuracy and classification of
recorded amounts. We also developed an expectation of repairs and maintenance costs that were charged to
expense based on the historical amounts recorded, taking into account changes in the portfolio of single-
family residential properties and market conditions, and compared our expectation to the recorded balance.
• We developed an expectation of depreciation expense based on the cost basis of investments in single-
family residential properties, taking into account the estimated useful life and the percentage of the year the
property was in use, and compared our expectation to the recorded balance. We also evaluated the estimated
useful lives used by management by comparing the estimates to external industry sources.
• We selected a sample of properties classified as held for sale and evaluated whether the properties met the
criteria to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. We also selected a sample of properties
sold after December 31, 2021 and evaluated whether each property was properly classified as either held for
sale or held for use as of December 31, 2021.
• We selected a sample of properties disposed during the year and evaluated the terms and conditions of the
sales contracts to assess whether the sale was properly recorded, including the removal of assets from the
accounting records and related gain or loss on sale.

INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Note 1—Organization and Formation
Invitation Homes Inc. (“INVH”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that conducts its operations
through Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP (“INVH LP”). INVH LP was formed for the purpose of
owning, renovating, leasing, and operating single-family residential properties. Through THR Property
Management L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of INVH LP (the “Manager”), we provide all management and
other administrative services with respect to the properties we own.
On February 6, 2017, INVH completed an initial public offering (“IPO”), changed its jurisdiction of
incorporation to Maryland, and amended its charter to provide for the issuance of up to 9,000,000,000 shares of
common stock and 900,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in each case $0.01 par value per share. In connection
with certain pre-IPO reorganization transactions, INVH LP became (1) owned by INVH directly and through
Invitation Homes OP GP LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of INVH (the “General Partner”), and (2) the owner of
all of the assets, liabilities, and operations of certain pre-IPO ownership entities. These transactions were
accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control utilizing historical cost basis.
On November 16, 2017 (the “Merger Date”), INVH and certain of its affiliates entered into a series of
transactions with Starwood Waypoint Homes (“SWH”) and certain SWH affiliates which resulted in SWH and
its operating partnership being merged into INVH and INVH LP, respectively, with INVH and INVH LP being
the surviving entities. These transactions were accounted for as a business combination in accordance with
ASC 805, Business Combinations, and INVH was designated as the accounting acquirer.
The limited partnership interests of INVH LP consist of common units and other classes of limited
partnership interests that may be issued (the “OP Units”). As of December 31, 2021, INVH owns 99.6% of the
common OP Units and has the full, exclusive, and complete responsibility for and discretion over the day-to-day
management and control of INVH LP.
Our organizational structure includes several wholly owned subsidiaries of INVH LP that were formed to
facilitate certain of our financing arrangements (the “Borrower Entities”). These Borrower Entities are used to
align the ownership of our single-family residential properties with certain of our debt instruments. Collateral for
certain of our individual debt instruments may be in the form of equity interests in the Borrower Entities or in
pools of single-family residential properties owned either directly by the Borrower Entities or indirectly by their
wholly owned subsidiaries (see Note 7).
References to “Invitation Homes,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer, collectively, to INVH,
INVH LP, and the consolidated subsidiaries of INVH LP.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of INVH and its
consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements.
We consolidate wholly owned subsidiaries and entities we are otherwise able to control in accordance with
GAAP. We evaluate each investment entity that is not wholly owned to determine whether to follow the variable
F-9
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
interest entity (“VIE”) or the voting interest entity (“VOE”) model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is
identified, we then evaluate whether the entity should be consolidated. Under the VIE model, we consolidate an
investment if we have control to direct the activities of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right
to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, we consolidate an
investment if (1) we control the investment through ownership of a majority voting interest if the investment is
not a limited partnership or (2) we control the investment through our ability to remove the other partners in the
investment, at our discretion, when the investment is a limited partnership.
Based on these evaluations, we account for each of the investments in joint ventures described in Note 5
using the equity method. Our initial investments in the joint ventures are recorded at cost, except for any such
interest initially recorded at fair value in connection with a business combination. The investments in these joint
ventures are subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of net earnings or losses and other comprehensive
income or loss, cash contributions made and distributions received, and other adjustments, as appropriate.
Distributions of operating profit from the joint ventures are reported as part of operating activities while
distributions related to a capital transaction, such as a refinancing transaction or sale, are reported as investing
activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Non-controlling interests represent the OP Units not owned by INVH, including any vested OP Units
granted in connection with certain share-based compensation awards. Non-controlling interests are presented as a
separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the
consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 include an
allocation of the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest holders. OP Units and vested OP Units
granted in connection with share-based compensation awards are redeemable for shares of our common stock on
a one-for-one basis or, in our sole discretion, cash, and redemptions of OP Units are accounted for as a reduction
in non-controlling interests with an offset to stockholders’ equity based on the pro rata number of OP Units
redeemed.
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
One of the most significant risks and uncertainties to our financial condition and results of operations
continues to be the adverse effect of the ongoing pandemic resulting from the coronavirus, or COVID-19, and its
variants on our residents, associates, and suppliers. As such, we continue to closely monitor the impact of the
pandemic on all aspects of our business and actively manage our response thereto in collaboration with our
residents and business partners.
The ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has led entities directed by, or notionally affiliated
with, the federal government as well as certain states, counties, and cities, including those in which we own
properties and where our principal places of business are located, to impose ongoing measures in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary eviction moratoriums if certain criteria are met by residents, deferral
of missed rent payments without incurring late fees, and restrictions on rent increases. We cannot predict if
states, municipalities, local, and/or national authorities will renew, extend, or expand existing restrictions, if
additional states or municipalities will implement similar restrictions, or when restrictions currently in place will
expire. We believe that we are in material compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations,
ordinances, and restrictions regarding evictions, collections, rent increases, and late fees as appropriate. While
none of the current and previous restrictions have materially impacted our ability to provide services to our
residents or homes, additional or modified measures may negatively impact our ability to access our homes,
complete service requests, or make our homes ready for new residents.
F-10
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
Since the outbreak commenced, a number of our residents have requested rent deferral and/or late fee relief,
and components of our rental revenues and other property income have been impacted by the pandemic. We
continue to work with residents experiencing financial hardship to find solutions that keep them in their homes.
This includes continuing to provide residents with information about rental assistance programs for which they
may be eligible, application instructions, necessary documentation, and owner requirements.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have material and adverse effects on our financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows in the near term due to, but not limited to, the following: (1) our residents
experiencing unemployment, deteriorating financial conditions, and declines in household income that impact
their ability to fully meet their obligations to us, resulting in increases in uncollectible revenues and thus
reductions in rental revenues and other property income; (2) governmental regulations, restrictions, and
moratoriums that negatively impact our ability to charge and collect rental revenues and other property income or
impose restrictions on our ability to provide services to our residents or homes; (3) negative financial impact of
the pandemic that could impact our ability to access funds available under our Revolving Facility (as defined in
Note 7) or affect future compliance with financial covenants of our Credit Facility (as defined in Note 7) and
other debt agreements; (4) weaker economic conditions and a general decline in business activity that could
adversely affect (i) our ability to acquire or dispose of single-family homes and (ii) the value of our homes and
our business that could cause us to recognize impairments in value of our tangible assets or goodwill; and (5) our
associates continuing to face COVID-19 health risks, workforce turnover, and remote work arrangements that
could adversely impact our business and operating results.
Additionally, COVID-19 and related containment measures may also continue to interfere with the ability of
our suppliers and other business partners to carry out their assigned tasks or supply materials or services at
ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of our business. We have continued to see a prolonged
impact of the pandemic on our industry and business, with increased challenges for our residents.
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (the “ARPA”), a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package
authorizing additional federal spending and an increase in anti-poverty programs to help millions of families still
struggling amid the pandemic, was signed into law. The ARPA included nearly $50 billion in housing and
homelessness resources and provides over $27 billion for rental assistance. We continue to examine the impacts
that the ARPA, as well as any future economic relief legislation, may have on our business. It is uncertain if the
ARPA’s housing and rental assistance resources will enable longer term housing stability for some of our
residents and/or reduce rent receivable balances accrued during the pandemic. We also cannot predict if the
federal government, states, or local authorities will continue to offer assistance programs or if such programs will
be available to our residents (and if they are available, if our residents will take advantage of them).
The extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our operations depends on
ongoing developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the
scope, duration, and severity of COVID-19 and its variants, the extent and duration of actions taken to contain
the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the availability, distribution, acceptance, and efficacy of vaccines and
therapeutic drugs, the proliferation of variants, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic,
containment measures, monetary and/or fiscal policies implemented to provide support or relief to businesses
and/or residents, and other government, regulatory, and/or legislative changes precipitated by the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, among others. While we have taken steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our
results of operations, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are inherently subjective in nature and
actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties
The following significant accounting policies affect the acquisition, disposition, recognition, classification,
and fair value measurements (on a nonrecurring basis) related to our portfolio of over 80,000 single-family
residential properties in 16 markets across the United States as of December 31, 2021:
• Acquisition of Real Estate Assets: Upon acquisition, we evaluate our acquired single-family residential
properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset
acquisition or business combination. Our purchases of homes are treated as asset acquisitions and are
recorded at their purchase price, which is allocated between land, building and improvements, and
in-place lease intangibles (when a resident is in place at the acquisition date) based upon their relative
fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of
acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, bidding service and title fees, payments made to
cure tax, utility, homeowners’ association (“HOA”), and other mechanic’s and miscellaneous liens, as
well as other closing costs. Properties acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value.
The fair values of acquired in-place lease intangibles, if any, are based on the costs to execute similar
leases, including commissions and other related costs. The origination value of in-place lease
intangibles also includes an estimate of lost rent revenue at in-place rental rates during the estimated
time required to lease the property. In-place lease intangibles are amortized over the life of the leases
and are recorded in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets.
• Cost Capitalization: We incur costs to acquire, stabilize, and prepare our single-family residential
properties to be leased. We capitalize these costs as a component of our investment in each single-
family residential property, using specific identification and relative allocation methodologies,
including renovation costs and other costs associated with activities that are directly related to
preparing our properties for use as rental real estate. Other costs include interest costs, property taxes,
property insurance, utilities, HOA fees, and a portion of the salaries and benefits of the Manager’s
employees who are directly responsible for the execution of our stabilization activities. The
capitalization period associated with our stabilization activities begins at the time that such activities
commence and concludes at the time that a single-family residential property is available to be leased.
Once a property is ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs
thereafter are expensed to operations as incurred, and we capitalize expenditures that improve or extend
the life of a home, a portion of the salaries and benefits of the Manager’s employees who are directly
responsible for such improvements, and for certain furniture and fixtures additions. The determination
of which costs to capitalize requires significant judgment. Accordingly, many factors are considered as
part of our evaluation processes with no one factor necessarily determinative.
• Depreciation: Costs capitalized in connection with single-family residential property acquisitions,
stabilization activities, and on an ongoing basis are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a
straight-line basis. The depreciation period commences upon the completion of stabilization-related
activities or upon the completion of improvements made on an ongoing basis. For those costs
F-12
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
capitalized in connection with residential property acquisitions and stabilization activities and those
capitalized on an ongoing basis, the weighted average useful lives range from 7 years to 28.5 years.
• Provisions for Impairment: We continuously evaluate, by property, whether there are any events or
changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of our single-family residential properties
may not be recoverable. Examples of such events and changes in circumstances that we consider
include significant and persistent declines in an individual property’s net operating income, regional
changes in home price appreciation as measured by certain independently developed indices, change in
expected use of the property, significant adverse legal factors, substantive damage to the individual
property as a result of natural disasters and other risks inherent in our business not covered by
insurance proceeds, or a current expectation that a property will be disposed of prior to the end of its
estimated useful life.
To the extent an event or change in circumstance is identified, a residential property is considered to be
impaired only if its carrying value cannot be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash
flows from the use and eventual disposition of the property. Cash flow projections are prepared using
internal analyses based on current rental, renewal, and occupancy rates, operating expenses, and inputs
from our annual planning process that give consideration to each property’s historical results, current
operating trends, and current market conditions. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the carrying
amount of our investment in a property is adjusted to its estimated fair value. To determine the
estimated fair value, we consider local broker price opinions (“BPOs”) and automated valuation model
(“AVM”) data, each of which are important components of our process with no one information source
being necessarily determinative. In order to validate the BPOs and AVM data received and used in our
assessment of fair value of real estate, we perform an internal review to determine if an acceptable
valuation approach was used to estimate fair value in compliance with guidance provided by ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements. Additionally, we undertake an internal review to assess the relevance and
appropriateness of comparable transactions that have been used, and any adjustments to comparable
transactions made, in reaching the value opinions.
The process whereby we assess our single-family residential properties for impairment requires
significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty. We
evaluate multiple information sources and perform a number of internal analyses, each of which are
important components of our process with no one information source or analysis being necessarily
determinative.
•
Single-Family Residential Properties Held for Sale: From time to time, we may identify single-family
residential properties to be sold. At the time that any such properties are identified, we perform an
evaluation to determine whether or not such properties should be classified as held for sale in
accordance with GAAP. Factors considered as part of our held for sale evaluation process include
whether the following conditions have been met: (i) we have committed to a plan to sell a property;
(ii) the property is immediately available for sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to
locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell a property have been initiated;
(iv) the sale of a property is probable within one year (generally determined based upon listing for
sale); (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its
current fair value; and (vi) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that
significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. To the extent that these
factors are all present, we cease depreciating the property, measure the property at the lower of its
carrying amount or its fair value less estimated costs to sell, and present the property separately within
other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we classified
F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
$20,022 and $44,163, respectively, as held for sale assets in our consolidated balance sheets (see
Note 6).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of presentation on both the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows, we
consider financial instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents in multiple financial institutions and, at times, these balances exceed
federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We
believe any risks are mitigated through the size and the number of financial institutions at which our cash
balances are held.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash deposited in accounts related to certain rent deposits and collections,
security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums and deductibles, and capital expenditures (see Note 4).
Amounts deposited in the reserve accounts associated with the mortgage loans and the secured term loan can
only be used as provided for in the respective loan agreements (see Note 7), and security deposits held pursuant
to lease agreements are required to be segregated. Accordingly, these items are separately presented within our
consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Debt Securities, net
Investments in debt securities that we have a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as
held to maturity and are presented within other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6). These
investments are recorded at amortized cost net of the amount expected not to be collected. Interest income,
including amortization of any premium or discount, is classified as other, net in the consolidated statements of
operations. For purposes of classification within the consolidated statements of cash flows, purchases of and
repayments from these securities are classified as investing activities.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities consist of investments both with and without a readily determinable fair
value. These are presented within other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6). Investments
with a readily determinable fair value are measured at fair value. Investments without a readily determinable fair
value are measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes
for identical or similar investment in the same issuer. Unrealized gains and losses are included in other, net in the
consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred that are directly attributable to procuring external financing are deferred and amortized over
the term of the related financing agreement as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, and
we accelerate amortization if the debt is retired before the maturity date. Costs that are deferred for the
procurement of such financing are presented either as an asset in other assets, net when associated with a
revolving debt instrument and prior to funding of a loan or as a component of the liability for the related
financing agreement.

Convertible Senior Notes
ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, requires that the liability and equity components of
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, be
separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The initial
proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity
component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have
been issued at such time. The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value
of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance. We measure the fair value of the debt
component of our convertible senior notes as of the issuance date based on our nonconvertible debt borrowing
rate. In connection with SWH merger, we assumed convertible senior notes that were recorded at their estimated
fair value based on our nonconvertible debt borrowing rate as of the Merger Date (see Note 7). The resulting
discount from the outstanding principal balance of the convertible senior notes is being amortized using the
effective interest rate method over the periods to maturity. Amortization of this discount is recorded as interest
expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Revenue Recognition and Resident Receivables
Rental revenues and other property income, net of any concessions and uncollectible amounts, consists
primarily of rents collected under lease agreements related to our single-family residential properties. We enter
into leases directly with our residents, and our leases typically have a term of one to two years. As a lessor, our
leases with residents are classified as operating leases under ASC 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”). We elected the
practical expedient in ASC 842 not to separate the lease and nonlease components of these operating leases with
our residents. Our lease components consist primarily of rental income, pet rent, and smart home system fees.
Nonlease components include resident reimbursements for utilities and various other fees, including late fees and
lease termination fees, among others. The lease component is the predominant component in these arrangements,
and as such, we recognize rental revenues and other property income in accordance with ASC 842 for the years
ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
Variable lease payments consist of resident reimbursements for utilities and various other fees, including
late fees and lease termination fees, among others. Variable lease payments are charged based on the terms and
conditions included in the resident leases. Sales taxes and other similar taxes assessed by governmental
authorities that we collect from residents are excluded from our rental revenues and other property income.
Leases Entered Into as a Lessee
We lease our corporate and regional offices, related office equipment, and a fleet of vehicles for use by our
field associates and account for each as either an operating or finance lease pursuant to ASC 842 (see Note 6 and
Note 14). Specifically, we account for leases for our corporate and regional offices as operating leases. In
addition to monthly rent payments, we reimburse the lessors of our office spaces for our share of operating
expenses as defined in the leases. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liability but are
recognized as a variable lease expense when incurred. At this time, it is not reasonably certain that we will
exercise any of the future renewal or termination options on these leases, and the measurement of the right-of-use
(“ROU”) asset and lease liability is calculated assuming we will not exercise any of the remaining renewal or
termination options.
We have elected the practical expedient under which the lease components of our office and vehicle fleet
leases are not separated from the nonlease components. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on
the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. We use our incremental
borrowing rate to calculate the present value of our lease payments.
F-15
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for our office equipment leases and therefore
do not record these leases on our consolidated balance sheets. These office equipment leases are not material to
our consolidated financial statements.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Costs associated with leasing our single-family residential properties, which consist primarily of
commissions paid to third party leasing agents, are deferred in the period in which they are incurred as a
component of deferred leasing costs and are subsequently amortized over the lease term. Deferred leasing costs
are included as a component of other assets, net within our consolidated balance sheets and their amortization is
classified as property operating and maintenance within the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 6).
Costs incurred for the salaries and benefits of the Manager’s employees who perform leasing activities and in
connection with leasing activities that do not result in the execution of a lease are expensed in the period
incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill incurred in connection with a business combination is not amortized as it has an indefinite life.
We test goodwill for impairment annually, on October 31st, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the
goodwill carrying value may exceed its fair value. As of December 31, 2021, no impairment of goodwill has
been recorded.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an
orderly transaction between two willing parties. This amount is determined based on an exit price approach,
which contemplates the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability) in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP has established a valuation hierarchy
based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A
financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active
markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value
measurement.
See Note 11 for further information related to our fair value measurements.
Earnings Per Share
We present both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) in our consolidated financial
statements. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the
period, excluding non-vested share-based awards. Our share-based awards consist of restricted stock units
F-16
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
(“RSUs”), including certain RSUs that contain performance and market based vesting conditions (“PRSUs”), and
Outperformance Awards (as defined in Note 10) (see Share-Based Compensation Expense below). Diluted EPS
reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from non-vested share-based awards and the convertible
senior notes using the “if-converted” method. For diluted EPS, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in net
income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversion of these potential shares of common stock.
Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period.
All outstanding non-vested share-based awards with nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents that participate in undistributed earnings with common stock are considered participating securities,
as identified in Note 10. As such, the two-class method of computing EPS is required, unless another method is
determined to be more dilutive. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for
each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and
participation rights in undistributed earnings in periods when we have net income.
Derivatives
We enter into interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements (collectively, “Hedging Derivatives”) for
interest rate risk management purposes. We do not enter into Hedging Derivatives for trading or other
speculative purposes, and all of our Hedging Derivatives are carried at fair value in our consolidated balance
sheets. Designated hedges are derivatives that meet the criteria for hedge accounting and that we have elected to
designate as hedges. Non-designated hedges are derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting or
that we have not elected to designate as hedges.
Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loans, we are required to maintain interest rate caps.
Additionally, in certain instances, in order to minimize the cash impact of purchasing required interest rate caps,
we simultaneously sell interest rate caps (which have identical terms and notional amounts) such that the
purchase price and sale proceeds of the related interest rate caps are intended to offset each other. We have
elected not to designate these interest cap agreements for hedge accounting (collectively, the “Non-Designated
Hedges”). We enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the risk arising from changes in our interest
payments on variable-rate debt due to changes in the one-month London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) (or a
comparable or successor rate). We have elected to account for our interest rate swap agreements as effective cash
flow hedges (collectively, the “Designated Hedges”). We assess the effectiveness of these interest rate swap cash
flow hedging relationships on an ongoing basis. The effect of these interest rate cap agreements and interest rate
swap agreements is to reduce the variability of interest payments due to changes in LIBOR.
The fair value of Hedging Derivatives that are in an asset position are included in other assets, net and those
in a liability position are included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. For Non-Designated
Hedges, changes in fair value are reflected within interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
For Designated Hedges, changes in fair value are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss)
in our consolidated balance sheets and reclassified into earnings as interest expense in our consolidated
statements of operations when the hedged transactions affect earnings. See Note 8 for further discussion of
derivative financial instruments.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
We recognize share-based compensation expense for share-based awards based on their grant-date fair
value, net of expected forfeitures, over the service period from the grant date to vest date for each tranche. The
grant-date fair value of RSUs and PRSUs with performance condition vesting criteria are generally based on the
F-17
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
closing price of our common stock on the grant date. However, the grant-date fair values for PRSUs and
Outperformance Awards with market condition vesting criteria are based on Monte-Carlo option pricing models.
Compensation expense for share-based awards with performance conditions is adjusted based on the probable
outcome of the performance conditions as of each reporting period.
Additional compensation expense is recognized if modifications to existing share-based award agreements
result in an increase in the post-modification fair value of the units that exceeds their pre-modification fair value.
Share-based compensation expense is presented as components of general and administrative expense and
property management expense in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10 for further discussion of
share-based compensation expense.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a REIT pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the “Code”). Our qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to meet the various requirements
imposed by the Code, which are related to organizational structure, distribution levels, diversity of stock
ownership, and certain restrictions with regard to owned assets and categories of income. As a REIT, we are
generally not subject to United States federal corporate income tax on our taxable income that is currently
distributed to stockholders. However, if we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income
could be subject to United States federal and state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates.
Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes as well as United
States federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as on our undistributed income. In addition,
taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) is subject to
federal, state, and local income taxes. A TRS is a subsidiary C corporation that has not elected REIT status and as
such is subject to United States federal and state corporate income tax. We use TRS entities to facilitate our
ability to perform non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for residents that
cannot be offered directly by a REIT.
For our TRS entities, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for United States federal
income tax purposes and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when
the differences reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance when we determine,
based on available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. We recognize the
tax consequences associated with intercompany transfers between the REIT and TRS entities when the related
assets affect our net income or loss, generally through depreciation, impairment losses, or sales to third party
entities.
Tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the
tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the
position.
Our federal and various state and local jurisdiction tax filings are subject to normal reviews by regulatory
agencies until the related statute of limitations expires. The years open to examination range from 2016 to
present.

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the Chief Executive Officer.
Under the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we have determined that we have one reportable
segment related to acquiring, renovating, leasing, and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The
CODM evaluates operating performance and allocates resources on a total portfolio basis. The CODM utilizes
net operating income as the primary measure to evaluate performance of the total portfolio. The aggregation of
individual homes constitutes the total portfolio. Decisions regarding acquisitions and dispositions of homes are
made at the individual home level with a focus on accretive growth in high-growth locations where we have
greater scale and density.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and
Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s
accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in its own equity. The guidance reduces the number of
accounting models for convertible instruments, requires entities to use the “if-converted” method in EPS, and
requires that the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted EPS calculation when an
instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption
permitted beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within that reporting period. The only new
application of ASU 2020-06 relates to our 2022 Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7), and these notes mature
on January 15, 2022. As such, ASU 2020-06 will not materially affect our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2021-01”),
which provides the option for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or
recognizing the effects of, reference rate reform on contract modifications and hedge accounting. An example of
such reform is the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative
reference rates. Entities that make this optional expedient election would not have to remeasure the contracts at
the modification date or reassess the accounting treatment if certain criteria are met and would continue applying
hedge accounting for relationships affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 became effective upon
issuance, and optional expedient elections can be made through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating
existing contracts and hedging relationships and the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial
statements.

venture is a wholly owned subsidiary of INVH LP and is responsible for the operations and management of the
properties, subject to Rockpoint’s approval of major decisions. We earn property and asset management fees for
the Rockpoint joint venture.
We acquired our interest in the joint venture with the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) via
the SWH merger. The managing member of the FNMA joint venture is a wholly owned subsidiary of INVH LP
and is responsible for the operations and management of the properties, subject to FNMA’s approval of major
decisions. We earn property and asset management fees for the FNMA joint venture.
In November 2021, we entered into agreements with Pathway Homes and its affiliates, among others, to
form a joint venture that will provide unique opportunities for customers to identify and purchase a home
whereby they are able to first lease and then purchase the home in the future. As of December 31, 2021, we had
fully funded our capital commitment to the operating company (“Pathway Operating Company”) which will
provide the technology platform and asset management services for the entity that will own and lease the homes
(“Pathway Property Company”). Pathway Homes and its affiliates are responsible for the operations and
management of Pathway Operating Company, and we do not have a controlling interest in Pathway Operating
Company. As of December 31, 2021, we have not made any investment in Pathway Property Company, and our
remaining equity commitment is $225,000. Upon the acquisition of homes, a wholly owned subsidiary of
INVH LP will provide property management and renovation oversight services for and earn fees from the homes
owned by Pathway Property Company. As the asset manager, Pathway Operating Company is responsible for the
operations and management of Pathway Property Company, and we do not have a controlling interest in Pathway
Property Company.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded $1,546 of net losses from investments in
unconsolidated joint ventures which is included in income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated joint
ventures in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we
recorded $599 and $1,668, respectively, of income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures which is
included in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The fees earned from our joint ventures (as described above) are related party transactions. For the year
ended December 31, 2021, we earned $4,893 of management fees which are included in joint venture
management fees in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
we earned $2,585 and $2,823, respectively, of management fees which are included in other, net in the
consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in Debt Securities, net
In connection with certain of our Securitizations (as defined in Note 7), we have retained and purchased
certificates totaling $157,173, net of unamortized discounts of $1,937, as of December 31, 2021. These
investments in debt securities are classified as held to maturity investments. As of December 31, 2021, we have
not recognized any credit losses with respect to these investments in debt securities, and our retained certificates
are scheduled to mature over the next one month to six years.
Amounts Deposited and Held by Others

See Note 14 for additional information about commitments related to these deposits made to homebuilders.
Rent and Other Receivables
We lease our properties to residents pursuant to leases that generally have an initial contractual term of at
least 12 months, provide for monthly payments, and are cancelable by the resident and us under certain
conditions specified in the related lease agreements. Rental revenues and other property income and the
corresponding rent and other receivables are recorded net of any concessions and bad debt (including actual
write-offs, credit reserves, and uncollectible amounts) for all periods presented.
Variable lease payments consist of resident reimbursements for utilities, and various other fees, including
late fees and lease termination fees, among others. Variable lease payments are charged based on the terms and
conditions included in the resident leases. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, rental
revenues and other property income includes $118,016, $91,573 and $92,759 of variable lease payments,

deferred financing costs as interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Revolving Facility and
accelerate amortization if debt is retired before the maturity date. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the
unamortized balances of these deferred financing costs are $8,751 and $11,637, respectively.

Mortgage Loans
Our securitization transactions (the “Securitizations” or the “mortgage loans”) are collateralized by certain
homes owned by the respective Borrower Entities. We utilize the proceeds from our Securitizations to fund:
(i) repayments of then-outstanding indebtedness; (ii) initial deposits into Securitization reserve accounts;
(iii) closing costs in connection with the mortgage loans; and (iv) general costs associated with our operations.

(2) Represents the maturity date if we exercise each of the remaining one year extension options available, which are subject to certain
conditions being met.
(3) Except for IH 2017-1, interest rates are based on a weighted average spread over LIBOR (or a comparable or successor rate as provided
for in our loan agreements), plus applicable servicing fees; as of December 31, 2021, LIBOR was 0.10%. IH 2017-1 bears interest at a
fixed rate of 4.23% per annum, equal to the market determined pass-through rate payable on the certificates including applicable
servicing fees.
(4) Range of spreads is based on outstanding principal balances as of December 31, 2021.
(5) Outstanding principal balance is net of discounts and does not include deferred financing costs, net.
(6) Net of unamortized discount of $1,937 and $2,289 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(7) The initial maturity term of each of these mortgage loans is two years, individually subject to three to five, one year extension options at
the Borrower Entity’s discretion (provided that there is no continuing event of default under the mortgage loan agreement and the
Borrower Entity obtains and delivers to the lender a replacement interest rate cap agreement from an approved counterparty within the
required timeframe). Our IH 2018-4 mortgage loan has exercised the first extension option, and our IH 2018-1, IH 2018-2, and IH
2018-3 mortgage loans have exercised the second extension option. The maturity dates above reflect all extensions that have been
exercised.
(8) On December 15, 2021, we submitted a notification to exercise an extension of the maturity date of the IH 2018-1 mortgage loan from
March 9, 2022 to March 9, 2023.
(9) On January 19, 2022, the extension of the maturity date of the IH 2018-4 mortgage loan from January 9, 2022 to January 9, 2023 was
confirmed by the lender (see Note 15).
Securitization Transactions
For each Securitization transaction, the Borrower Entity executed a loan agreement with a third party lender.
Except for IH 2017-1, each outstanding mortgage loan originally consisted of six floating rate components. The
two year initial terms are individually subject to three to five, one year extension options at the Borrower Entity’s
discretion. Such extensions are available provided there is no continuing event of default under the respective
mortgage loan agreement and the Borrower Entity obtains and delivers a replacement interest rate cap agreement
from an approved counterparty within the required timeframe to the lender. IH 2017-1 is a 10 year, fixed rate
mortgage loan comprised of two components. Certificates issued by the trust in connection with Component A of
IH 2017-1 benefit from FNMA’s guaranty of timely payment of principal and interest.
Each mortgage loan is secured by a pledge of the equity in the assets of the respective Borrower Entities, as
well as first-priority mortgages on the underlying properties and a grant of security interests in all of the related
personal property. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, a total of 26,950 and 31,316 homes, respectively, with a
gross book value of $6,043,652 and $6,888,308, respectively, and a net book value of $4,922,037 and
$5,761,551, respectively, are pledged pursuant to the mortgage loans. Each Borrower Entity has the right, subject
to certain requirements and limitations outlined in the respective loan agreements, to substitute properties. We
are obligated to make monthly payments of interest for each mortgage loan.
Transactions with Trusts
Concurrent with the execution of each mortgage loan agreement, the respective third party lender sold each
loan it originated to individual depositor entities (the “Depositor Entities”) who subsequently transferred each
loan to Securitization-specific trust entities (the “Trusts”). The Depositor Entities for our currently outstanding
Securitizations are wholly owned subsidiaries. We accounted for the transfers of the individual Securitizations
from the wholly owned Depositor Entities to the respective Trusts as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and
Servicing, with no resulting gain or loss as the Securitizations were both originated by the lender and
immediately transferred at the same fair market value.
As consideration for the transfer of each loan to the Trusts, the Trusts issued classes of certificates which
mirror the components of the individual loans (collectively, the “Certificates”) to the Depositor Entities, except
F-26
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
that Class R certificates do not have related loan components as they represent residual interests in the Trusts.
The Certificates represent the entire beneficial interest in the Trusts. Following receipt of the Certificates, the
Depositor Entities sold the Certificates to investors and used the proceeds as consideration for the loans sold to
the Depositor Entities by the lenders. These transactions had no effect on our consolidated financial statements
other than with respect to Certificates we retained in connection with Securitizations or purchased at a later date.
The Trusts are structured as pass-through entities that receive interest payments from the Securitizations and
distribute those payments to the holders of the Certificates. The assets held by the Trusts are restricted and can
only be used to fulfill the obligations of those entities. The obligations of the Trusts do not have any recourse to
the general credit of any entities in these consolidated financial statements. We have evaluated our interests in
certain certificates of the Trusts held by us (discussed below) and determined that they do not create a more than
insignificant variable interest in the Trusts. Additionally, the retained certificates do not provide us with any
ability to direct activities that could impact the Trusts’ economic performance. Therefore, we do not consolidate
the Trusts.
Retained Certificates
As the Trusts made Certificates available for sale to both domestic and foreign investors, sponsors of the
mortgage loans are required to retain a portion of the risk that represents a material net economic interest in each
loan pursuant to Regulation RR (the “Risk Retention Rules”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. As such, loan sponsors are required to retain a portion of the credit risk that represents not less than 5%
of the aggregate fair value of the loan as of the closing date.
IH 2017-1 issued Class B certificates, which are restricted certificates that were made available exclusively
to INVH LP in order to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Class B certificates bear a stated annual
interest rate of 4.23%, including applicable servicing fees.
For IH 2017-2, IH 2018-1, IH 2018-2, IH 2018-3, and IH 2018-4, we retain 5% of each class of certificates
to meet the Risk Retention Rules. These retained certificates accrue interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus a
spread ranging from 0.76% to 1.45%.
The retained certificates, net of discount, total $157,173 and $245,237 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, and are classified as held to maturity investments and recorded in other assets, net on the
consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6).
Loan Covenants
The general terms that apply to all of the mortgage loans require each Borrower Entity to maintain
compliance with certain affirmative and negative covenants. Affirmative covenants include each Borrower
Entity’s, and certain of their respective affiliates’, compliance with (i) licensing, permitting and legal
requirements specified in the mortgage loan agreements, (ii) organizational requirements of the jurisdictions in
which they are organized, (iii) federal and state tax laws, and (iv) books and records requirements specified in the
respective mortgage loan agreements. Negative covenants include each Borrower Entity’s, and certain of their
affiliates’, compliance with limitations surrounding (i) the amount of each Borrower Entity’s indebtedness and
the nature of their investments, (ii) the execution of transactions with affiliates, (iii) the Manager, (iv) the nature
of each Borrower Entity’s business activities, and (v) the required maintenance of specified cash reserves. As of
December 31, 2021, and through the date our consolidated financial statements were issued, we believe each
Borrower Entity is in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants for the mortgage loans.
F-27

(dollar amounts in thousands)
Prepayments
For the mortgage loans, prepayments of amounts owed by us are generally not permitted under the terms of
the respective mortgage loan agreements unless such prepayments are made pursuant to the voluntary election or
mandatory provisions specified in such agreements. The specified mandatory provisions become effective to the
extent that a property becomes characterized as a disqualified property, a property is sold, and/or upon the
occurrence of a condemnation or casualty event associated with a property. To the extent either a voluntary
election is made, or a mandatory prepayment condition exists, in addition to paying all interest and principal, we
must also pay certain breakage costs as determined by the loan servicer and a spread maintenance premium if
prepayment occurs before the month following the one or two year anniversary of the closing dates of each of the
mortgage loans except for IH 2017-1. For IH 2017-1, prepayments on or before December 2026 will require a
yield maintenance premium. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we made voluntary and
mandatory prepayments of $1,766,865, $1,434,626, and $997,421, respectively, under the terms of the mortgage
loan agreements. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, prepayments included the full
repayment of the IH 2017-2, SWH 2017-1, and CSH 2016-2 mortgage loans, respectively.
Secured Term Loan
On June 7, 2019, 2019-1 IH Borrower LP, a consolidated subsidiary (“2019-1 IH Borrower” and one of our
Borrower Entities), entered into a 12 year loan agreement with a life insurance company (the “Secured Term
Loan”). The Secured Term Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.59%, including applicable servicing fees, for
the first 11 years and bears interest at a floating rate based on a spread of 147 bps, including applicable servicing
fees, over one month LIBOR (subject to certain adjustments as outlined in the loan agreement) for the twelfth
year. The Secured Term Loan is secured by first priority mortgages on a portfolio of single-family rental
properties as well as a first priority pledge of the equity interests of 2019-1 IH Borrower. We utilized the
proceeds from the Secured Term Loan to fund: (i) repayments of then-outstanding indebtedness; (ii) initial
deposits into the Secured Term Loan’s reserve accounts; (iii) transaction costs related to the closing of the
Secured Term Loan; and (iv) general corporate purposes.

including applicable servicing fees, subject to certain adjustments as outlined in the loan agreement. Interest
payments are made monthly.
Collateral
The Secured Term Loan’s collateral pool contains 3,334 and 3,332 homes as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively, with a gross book value of $801,318 and $791,860, respectively, and a net book value of
F-28
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
$703,492 and $719,762, respectively. 2019-1 IH Borrower has the right, subject to certain requirements and
limitations outlined in the loan agreement, to substitute properties representing up to 20% of the collateral pool
annually, and to substitute properties representing up to 100% of the collateral pool over the life of the Secured
Term Loan. In addition, four times after the first anniversary of the closing date, 2019-1 IH Borrower has the
right, subject to certain requirements and limitations outlined in the loan agreement, to execute a special release
of collateral representing up to 15% of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Secured Term Loan in order
to bring the loan-to-value ratio back in line with the Secured Term Loan’s loan-to-value ratio as of the closing
date. Any such special release of collateral would not change the then-outstanding principal balance of the
Secured Term Loan, but rather would reduce the number of single-family rental homes included in the collateral
pool.
Loan Covenants
The Secured Term Loan requires 2019-1 IH Borrower to maintain compliance with certain affirmative and
negative covenants. Affirmative covenants include 2019-1 IH Borrower’s, and certain of its affiliates’,
compliance with (i) licensing, permitting and legal requirements specified in the loan agreement,
(ii) organizational requirements of the jurisdictions in which they are organized, (iii) federal and state tax laws,
and (iv) books and records requirements specified in the loan agreement. Negative covenants include 2019-1 IH
Borrower’s, and certain of its affiliates’, compliance with limitations surrounding (i) the amount of 2019-1 IH
Borrower’s indebtedness and the nature of its investments, (ii) the execution of transactions with affiliates,
(iii) the Manager, (iv) the nature of 2019-1 IH Borrower’s business activities, and (v) the required maintenance
of specified cash reserves. As of December 31, 2021, and through the date our consolidated financial statements
were issued, we believe 2019-1 IH Borrower is in compliance with all affirmative and negative covenants for the
Secured Term Loan.
Prepayments
Prepayments of the Secured Term Loan are generally not permitted unless such prepayments are made
pursuant to the voluntary election or mandatory provisions specified in the loan agreement. The specified
mandatory provisions become effective to the extent that a property becomes characterized as a disqualified
property, a property is sold, and/or upon the occurrence of a condemnation or casualty event associated with a
property. To the extent either a voluntary election is made, or a mandatory prepayment condition exists, in
addition to paying all interest and principal, we must also pay certain breakage costs as determined by the loan
servicer and a yield maintenance premium if prepayment occurs before June 9, 2030. For the year ended
December 31, 2020, we made mandatory prepayments of $101. No such prepayments were made during the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019.
Unsecured Notes
Our unsecured notes are issued in connection with either an underwritten public offering pursuant to our
existing shelf registration statement that automatically became effective upon filing with the SEC in July 2021
and expires in July 2024 or in connection with a private placement transaction with certain institutional investors
(collectively, the “Unsecured Notes”). We utilize proceeds from the Unsecured Notes to fund: (i) repayments of
then-outstanding indebtedness, including the Securitizations; (ii) closing costs in connection with the Unsecured
Notes; and (iii) general costs associated with our operations and other corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
Interest on the Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

Current Year Activity
The following activity occurred during the year ended December 31, 2021 with respect to the Unsecured
Notes:
• On May 25, 2021, in a private placement transaction, we issued (1) $150,000 aggregate principal
amount of 2.46% Senior Notes, Series A due May 25, 2028 and (2) $150,000 aggregate principal
amount of 3.18% Senior Notes, Series B which mature on May 25, 2036.
• On August 6, 2021, in a public offering under our existing shelf registration statement, we issued
$650,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.00% Senior Notes which mature on August 15, 2031.
• On November 5, 2021, in a public offering under our existing shelf registration statement, we issued
(1) $600,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.30% Senior Notes which mature on November 15, 2028
and (2) $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.70% Senior Notes which mature on January 15,
2034.
Prepayments
The Unsecured Notes are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a
redemption price equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and
(ii) a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the respective loan agreements if the redemption
occurs more than one month prior to the maturity date. The privately placed Unsecured Notes require any
prepayment to be an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount then outstanding. If any of the
Unsecured Notes issued publicly under our registration statement are redeemed on or after a specified date that is
either two or three months prior to the maturity date, the redemption price will not include a make-whole
premium.
Guarantees
The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by INVH and two of
its wholly owned subsidiaries, the General Partner and IH Merger Sub, LLC (“IH Merger Sub”). Prior to the
September 17, 2021 execution of a parent guaranty agreement, the privately placed Unsecured Notes were not
guaranteed.
Loan Covenants
The Unsecured Notes issued publicly under our registration statement contain customary covenants,
including, among others, limitations on the incurrence of debt; and they include the following financial covenants
related to the incurrence of debt: (i) an aggregate debt test; (ii) a debt service test; (iii) a maintenance of total
unencumbered assets; and (iv) a secured debt test.

(dollar amounts in thousands)
The privately placed Unsecured Notes contain customary covenants, including, among others, limitations on
distributions, fundamental changes, and transactions with affiliates; and they include the following financial
covenants, subject to certain qualifications: (i) a maximum total leverage ratio; (ii) a maximum secured leverage
ratio; (iii) a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio; (iv) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; and (v) a
minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio.
The Unsecured Notes contain customary events of default (subject in certain cases to specified cure
periods), the occurrence of which would allow the holders of notes to take various actions, including the
acceleration of amounts due under the Unsecured Notes. As of December 31, 2021, and through the date our
consolidated financial statements were issued, we believe we were in compliance with all affirmative and
negative covenants for the Unsecured Notes.
Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility
On December 8, 2020, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions, and institutional lenders for a new credit facility (the
“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides $3,500,000 of borrowing capacity and consists of a $1,000,000
revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $2,500,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), both
of which mature on January 31, 2025, with two six month extension options available. The Revolving Facility
also includes borrowing capacity for letters of credit. The Credit Facility provides us with the option to enter into
additional incremental credit facilities (including an uncommitted incremental facility that provides us with the
option to increase the size of the Revolving Facility and/or the Term Loan Facility such that the aggregate
amount does not exceed $4,000,000 at any time), subject to certain limitations.
The Credit Facility replaced a credit facility that consisted of a $1,000,000 revolving facility (the “2017
Revolving Facility”) and a $1,500,000 term loan facility (the “2017 Term Loan Facility” and together with the
2017 Revolving Facility, the “2017 Credit Facility”). The terms and conditions of the Credit Facility are
consistent with those of the 2017 Credit Facility unless otherwise noted below. Proceeds from the Term Loan
Facility were used to repay then-outstanding indebtedness, including the 2017 Term Loan Facility. Proceeds
from the Revolving Facility are used for general corporate purposes.
The following table sets forth a summary of the outstanding principal amounts under the Credit Facility as
of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively:

Interest rates for the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility are based on LIBOR plus an applicable
margin. As of December 31, 2021, the applicable margins were 1.00% and 0.89%,respectively, and LIBOR
was 0.10%.
If we exercise the two six month extension options, the maturity date will be January 31, 2026.
Interest Rate and Fees
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to a margin over either (a) a
LIBOR rate determined by reference to the Bloomberg LIBOR rate (or a comparable or successor rate as
F-31
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
provided for in our loan agreement) for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, or (b) a base rate
determined by reference to the highest of (1) the administrative agent’s prime lending rate, (2) the federal funds
effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) the LIBOR rate that would be payable on such day for a LIBOR rate loan with
a one month interest period plus 1.00%. After obtaining the requisite rating on our non-credit enhanced, senior
unsecured long term debt as defined in the Credit Facility agreement (the “Investment Grade Rating”), we
elected to convert to a credit rating based pricing grid (the “Pricing Grid Conversion”) effective April 22, 2021.
The margins for the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility under the credit rating based pricing grid are as
follows:
Term Loan Facility . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Revolving Facility . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

LIBOR Rate Loans
Prior to the Pricing Grid Conversion, the margins were based on a total leverage based grid. The margins for
the Term Loan Facility, Revolving Facility, 2017 Term Loan Facility, and 2017 Revolving Facility under the
total leverage based grid were as follows:

0.70% — 1.30% 1.70% — 2.30%
0.75% — 1.30% 1.75% — 2.30%
The Credit Facility also includes a sustainability component whereby the Revolving Facility pricing can
improve upon the Company’s achievement of certain sustainability ratings, determined via an independent third
party evaluation. This sustainability feature was not included in the 2017 Revolving Facility.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a
facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.30%. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit fees. Prior to the
Pricing Grid Conversion, instead of a facility fee, we were required to pay an unused facility fee to the lenders
under the Revolving Facility and the 2017 Revolving Facility in respect of the unused commitments thereunder.
The unused facility fee rate was either 0.30% or 0.20% per annum for the Revolving Facility and 0.35% or
0.20% per annum for the 2017 Revolving Facility.
Prepayments and Amortization
No principal reductions are required under the Credit Facility. We are permitted to voluntarily repay
amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to certain
minimum amounts and the payment of customary “breakage” costs with respect to LIBOR loans. Once repaid, no
further borrowings will be permitted under the Term Loan Facility.
Loan Covenants
The Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.
Such covenants will, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and that of the
Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) and their respective subsidiaries to (i) engage in certain mergers,
consolidations or liquidations, (ii) sell, lease or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets,
F-32
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
(iii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates, (iv) make changes to our fiscal year, (v) make changes in the
nature of our business and our subsidiaries, and (vi) enter into certain burdensome agreements.
The Credit Facility also requires us, on a consolidated basis with our subsidiaries, to maintain a
(i) maximum total leverage ratio, (ii) maximum secured leverage ratio, (iii) maximum unencumbered leverage
ratio, (iv) minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (v) minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio. Prior to
obtaining an Investment Grade Rating, we were also required to maintain a maximum secured recourse leverage
ratio. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Facility are entitled to take various actions,
including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2021, and through the
date our consolidated financial statements were issued, we believe we were in compliance with all affirmative
and negative covenants for the Credit Facility.
Guarantees and Security
After we obtained the requisite Investment Grade Rating, our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries
that directly own unencumbered assets (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) were released from their previous
guarantee requirements under the Credit Facility (the “Investment Grade Release”) effective May 5, 2021. Prior
to the Investment Grade Release, the obligations under the Credit Facility were guaranteed on a joint and several
basis by each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
On September 17, 2021, as a result of the execution of a parent guaranty agreement, the obligations under
the Credit Facility became guaranteed on a joint and several basis by INVH and two of its wholly owned
subsidiaries, the General Partner and IH Merger Sub.
Although the 2017 Credit Facility was secured, such security interests have been released and the Credit
Facility is unsecured.
Convertible Senior Notes
In connection with the SWH merger, we assumed certain convertible senior notes. In July 2014, SWH
issued $230,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019
Convertible Notes”). Interest on the 2019 Convertible Notes was payable semiannually in arrears on January 1st
and July 1st of each year. The notes matured on July 1, 2019, and on that date we settled substantially all of the
outstanding principal balance of the 2019 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 12,553,864 shares of our
common stock.
In January 2017, SWH issued $345,000 in aggregate principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes
due 2022 (the “2022 Convertible Notes” and together with the 2019 Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Senior
Notes”). Interest on the 2022 Convertible Notes was payable semiannually in arrears on January 15th and
July 15th of each year. Effective July 15, 2021, we notified note holders of our intent to settle conversions of the
2022 Convertible Notes in shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we settled
$203,510 of principal balance outstanding of the 2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 8,943,374 shares of
our common stock.The notes matured on January 15, 2022; and on January 18, 2022, we settled the outstanding
principal balance of the 2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our common stock and
a cash payment of $271 (see Note 15).

(2) The conversion rate as of December 31, 2021 represents the number of shares of common stock issuable per
$1,000 principal amount (actual $) of the 2022 Convertible Notes converted on such date, as adjusted in

January 18, 2022, we settled the outstanding principal balance of the 2022 Convertible Notes with the
issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our common stock and a cash payment of $271 (see Note 15).
Terms of Conversion
On July 1, 2019, we settled substantially all of the outstanding balance of the 2019 Convertible Notes with
the issuance of 12,553,864 shares of our common stock. At the settlement date, the conversion rate applicable to
the 2019 Convertible Notes was 54.5954 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount (actual $) of
the 2019 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $18.32 per common share—actual
$). For the year ended December 31, 2019, interest expense for the 2019 Convertible Notes, including non-cash
amortization of discounts, was $5,586.
As of December 31, 2021, the conversion rate applicable to the 2022 Convertible Notes is 44.0184 shares of
our common stock per $1,000 principal amount (actual $) of the 2022 Convertible Notes (equivalent to a
conversion price of approximately $22.72 per common share—actual $). At any time prior to July 15, 2021,
holders were able to convert the 2022 Convertible Notes at their option only under specific circumstances as
defined in the indenture agreement, dated as of January 10, 2017, between us and our trustee, Wilmington Trust
National Association (the “Convertible Notes Trustee”). On or after July 15, 2021 and until maturity, holders
were able to convert all or any portion of the 2022 Convertible Notes at any time. Effective July 15, 2021, we
notified note holders of our intent to settle conversions of the 2022 Convertible Notes in shares of common stock.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we settled $203,510 of principal balance outstanding of the 2022
Convertible Notes with the issuance of 8,943,374 shares of our common stock. On January 18, 2022, we settled
the outstanding principal balance of the 2022 Convertible Notes with the issuance of 6,216,261 shares of our
common stock and a cash payment of $271 (see Note 15).
The “if-converted” value of the 2022 Convertible Notes exceeds the principal amount by $140,895 as of
December 31, 2021 as the closing market price of our common stock of $45.34 per common share (actual $)
exceeds the implicit conversion price. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, interest expense
for the 2022 Convertible Notes, including non-cash amortization of discounts, was $14,364, $17,181, and
$16,929, respectively.

General Terms
We could not redeem the 2022 Convertible Notes prior to their maturity date except to the extent necessary
to preserve our status as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, as further described in the
indenture. If we had incurred a fundamental change as defined in the indenture, holders were able to require us to
repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2022 Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The indenture contained customary terms and covenants and events of default. If an event of default
occurred and continued, the Convertible Notes Trustee, by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2022 Convertible Notes, by notice to us and the Convertible Notes
Trustee, were able to, and the Convertible Notes Trustee at the request of such holders was expected to, declare
100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the 2022 Convertible Notes to be due and
payable. In the case of an event of default arising out of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization in respect to us (as set forth in the indenture), 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid
interest on the 2022 Convertible Notes would have automatically become due and payable.

(1) The maturity dates of the obligations are reflective of all extensions that have been exercised as of
December 31, 2021. If fully extended, we would have no mortgage loans maturing before 2025. Such
extensions are available provided there is no continuing event of default under the respective mortgage loan
agreement and the Borrower Entity obtains and delivers to the lender a replacement interest rate cap
agreement from an approved counterparty within the required timeframe.
(2) On December 15, 2021, we submitted a notification to exercise an extension of the maturity date of the IH
2018-1 mortgage loan from March 9, 2022 to March 9, 2023. Additionally, on January 19, 2022, the
extension of the maturity date of the IH 2018-4 mortgage loan from January 9, 2022 to January 9, 2023 was
confirmed by the lender (see Note 15).
If we exercise the two six month extension options, the maturity date will be January 31, 2026.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments
From time to time, we enter into derivative instruments to manage the economic risk of changes in interest
rates. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes. Designated Hedges are
derivatives that meet the criteria for hedge accounting and that we have elected to designate as hedges.
Non-Designated Hedges are derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting or that we did not elect
to designate as hedges.
Designated Hedges
We have entered into various interest rate swap agreements, which are used to hedge the variable cash flows
associated with variable-rate interest payments. Currently, each of our swap agreements is indexed to one month
LIBOR and is designated for hedge accounting purposes. One month LIBOR is set to expire after June 30, 2023,
and we will work with the counterparties to our swap agreements to adjust each floating rate to a comparable or
successor rate. Changes in the fair value of these swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income and are
subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we terminated interest rate swaps and paid the
counterparties $20,798 and $15,249, respectively, in connection with these terminations. During the year ended
December 31, 2019, we modified the start date of an interest rate swap and paid the counterparty $8,239 in
connection with the modification.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the
variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate interest payments. Amounts reported in accumulated
other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments
are made on our variable-rate debt. During the next 12 months, we estimate that $115,770 will be reclassified to
earnings as an increase in interest expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we accelerated the reclassification of certain amounts in other
comprehensive income to earnings as a result of a portion of the hedged forecasted transactions becoming
probable not to occur. The accelerated amounts represented a loss of $3,111 and were recorded as interest
expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. We
did not accelerate the reclassification of any amounts in other comprehensive income to earnings during the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2019.

Non-Designated Hedges
Concurrent with entering into certain of the mortgage loan agreements and in connection with previous
mergers, we entered into or acquired and maintain interest rate cap agreements with terms and notional amounts
equivalent to the terms and amounts of the mortgage loans made by the third party lenders. Currently, each of our
cap agreements is indexed to one month LIBOR, which is set to expire on June 30, 2023. We will work with the
counterparties to our cap agreements to adjust each floating rate to a comparable or successor rate. To the extent
that the maturity date of one or more of the mortgage loans is extended through an exercise of one or more
extension options, replacement or extension interest rate cap agreements must be executed with terms similar to
those associated with the initial interest rate cap agreements and strike prices equal to the greater of the interest
rate cap strike price and the interest rate at which the debt service coverage ratio (as defined) is not less than 1.2
to 1.0. The interest rate cap agreements, including all of our rights to payments owed by the counterparties and
all other rights, have been pledged as additional collateral for the mortgage loans. Additionally, in certain
instances, in order to minimize the cash impact of purchasing required interest rate caps, we simultaneously sell
interest rate caps (which have identical terms and notional amounts) such that the purchase price and sales
proceeds of the related interest rate caps are intended to offset each other. The purchased and sold interest rate
caps have strike prices ranging from approximately 3.75% to 7.56%.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
The agreements with our derivative counterparties which govern our interest rate swap agreements contain a
provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying
indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on the indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of certain derivatives in a net liability position was $271,156. If we
had breached any of these provisions at December 31, 2021, we could have been required to settle the obligations
under the agreements at their termination value, which includes accrued interest and excludes the
nonperformance risk related to these agreements, of $279,451.
Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity
As of December 31, 2021, we have issued 601,045,438 shares of common stock. In addition, we issue
OP Units from time to time which, upon vesting, are redeemable for shares of our common stock on a

one-for-one basis or, in our sole discretion, cash and are reflected as non-controlling interests on our consolidated
balance sheets and statements of equity. As of December 31, 2021, 2,538,285 outstanding OP Units are
redeemable.
During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we issued 33,927,772, 25,474,941 and
20,994,748 shares of common stock, respectively.
2021 Public Offering
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of
14,375,000 shares of our common stock, including 1,875,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full
exercise of the option to purchase additional shares. This offering generated net proceeds of $571,201, after
giving effect to commissions and other costs totaling $3,799.
2020 Public Offering
On June 4, 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 16,675,000 shares of our common stock,
including 2,175,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of the option to purchase additional
shares. During the year ended December 31, 2020, this offering generated net proceeds of $447,533, after giving
effect to commissions and other costs totaling $6,861.
At the Market Equity Program
On August 22, 2019, we entered into distribution agreements with a syndicate of banks (the “Agents”),
pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $800,000 of our common
stock through the Agents (the “2019 ATM Equity Program”). During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,
and 2019, we sold 9,008,528, 8,413,224 and 1,957,139 shares of our common stock, respectively, under our 2019
ATM Equity Program, generating net proceeds of $362,589, $239,190, and $55,263, respectively, after giving
effect to Agent commissions and other costs totaling $6,225, $3,851, and $1,696, respectively. We terminated the
2019 ATM Equity Program immediately after entering into the 2021 ATM Equity Program (defined below).
On December 20, 2021, we entered into distribution agreements with a syndicate of banks (the “Agents”
and the “Forward Sellers”), pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of
$1,250,000 of our common stock through the Agents and the Forward Sellers (the “2021 ATM Equity
Program”). In addition to the issuance of shares of our common stock, the distribution agreements permit us to
enter into separate forward sale transactions with certain forward purchasers who may borrow shares from third
parties and, through affiliated Forward Sellers, offer a number of shares of our common stock equal to the
number of shares of our common stock underlying the particular forward transaction. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, we did not sell any shares of our common stock under our 2021 ATM Equity Program.
Dividends
To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT
taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax
at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. We
intend to pay quarterly dividends to our stockholders that in the aggregate are approximately equal to or exceed
our net taxable income in the relevant year. The timing, form, and amount of distributions, if any, to our
stockholders, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors.

On February 2, 2022, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.22 per share to stockholders of record
on February 14, 2022, which is payable on February 28, 2022 (see Note 15).
Note 10—Share-Based Compensation
Our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, the Invitation Homes Inc. 2017 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”) to provide a means through which to attract and retain key
associates and to provide a means whereby our directors, officers, associates, consultants, and advisors can
acquire and maintain an equity interest in us, or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive
compensation measured by reference to the value of our common stock, and to align their interests with those of
our stockholders. Under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, we may issue up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock.
Our share-based awards consist of time-vesting RSUs, PRSUs, and Outperformance Awards (defined
below). Time-vesting RSUs are participating securities for EPS purposes, and PRSUs and Outperformance
Awards are not.
Share-Based Awards
The following summarizes our share-based award activity during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,
and 2019.
Annual Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”):
• Annual LTIP Awards Granted: During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we
granted 675,627, 499,228, and 534,547 RSUs, respectively, pursuant to LTIP awards. Each award
includes components which vest based on time-vesting conditions, market based vesting conditions,
and performance based vesting conditions, each of which is subject to continued employment through
the applicable vesting date.
LTIP time-vesting RSUs vest in three equal annual installments based on an anniversary date of
March 1st. LTIP PRSUs may be earned based on the achievement of certain measures over a three year
performance period. The number of PRSUs earned will be determined based on performance achieved
during the performance period for each measure at certain threshold, target, or maximum levels and
corresponding payout ranges. In general, the LTIP PRSUs are earned after the end of the performance
period on the date on which the performance results are certified by our compensation and management
development committee (the “Compensation Committee”).
F-40
INVITATION HOMES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar amounts in thousands)
All of the LTIP Awards are subject to certain change in control and retirement eligibility provisions
that may impact these vesting schedules.
• PRSU Results: During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, certain LTIP PRSUs
vested and achieved performance in excess of the target level, resulting in the issuance of an additional
159,180, 91,200, and 23,392 shares of common stock, respectively. Such awards are reflected as an
increase in the number of awards granted and vested in the table below. Certain other LTIP PRSUs did
not achieve performance criteria, resulting in the cancellation of 47,145, 5,348, and 52,896 awards
during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Such awards are reflected as
an increase in the number of awards forfeited/canceled in the table below.
Other Awards
• Director Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2021, we granted 43,767 time-vesting RSUs to
members of our board of directors, which awards will fully vest on the date of INVH’s 2022 annual
stockholders meeting, subject to continued service on the board of directors through such date. During
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, INVH issued 58,690 and 53,704 time-vesting RSUs,
which awards fully vested on the dates of INVH’s 2021 and 2020 annual stockholders meetings,
respectively.
•
Supplemental Bonus Plan: Upon the completion of our IPO, $59,797 of supplemental bonus awards
were converted into 2,988,120 time-vesting RSUs that generally vested in three equal installments
unless otherwise modified. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the final supplemental bonus
awards were fully vested.
• Merger-Related Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2018, the grant date was established for
168,184 PRSUs issued in connection with the SWH merger. These merger-related PRSUs were eligible
to be earned based on the achievement of certain measures over performance periods that began on the
Merger Date and ended approximately one and a half to three years thereafter. The number of merger-
related PRSUs earned was determined based on performance achieved during the performance period
for each measure at certain threshold, target, or maximum levels and corresponding payout ranges.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, vesting of all remaining time-vesting merger-related awards
was accelerated in accordance with the terms of the award agreement. During the year ended
December 31, 2019, 77,926 of such PRSUs were forfeited; and during the year ended December 31,
2020, all outstanding merger-related PRSUs vested. Certain of these PRSUs achieved performance in
excess of the target level, resulting in the issuance of an additional 4,756 shares of common stock
which are reflected as an increase in the number of awards granted and vested in the table below.
• Bonus and Retention Awards: During the year ended December 31, 2018, we granted 136,941 RSUs to
employees (the “2018 Bonus Awards”). Each of the 2018 Bonus Awards is a time-vesting award which
vests in three equal annual installments based on an anniversary date of March 1, 2018, subject to
continued employment through the applicable vesting date. As of December 31, 2021, the retention
awards issued during the year ended December 31, 2017 were fully vested.
Assumed Awards
In connection with the SWH merger, we assumed the terms of award agreements governing 949,698 (as
calculated in number of INVH shares of common stock) non-vested RSUs granted prior to the Merger Date under
SWH’s equity incentive plans. Each assumed award was a time-vesting award that was issued with service
periods ranging from three years to four years, unless accelerated pursuant to the original agreement or otherwise
modified. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the final SWH equity awards were fully vested.

(dollar amounts in thousands)
Outperformance Awards
On May 1, 2019, the Compensation Committee approved one-time equity based awards with market based
vesting conditions in the form of PRSUs and OP Units (the “Outperformance Awards”). The Outperformance
Awards may be earned based on the achievement of rigorous absolute total shareholder return and relative total
shareholder return thresholds over a three year performance period ending on March 31, 2022. Upon completion
of the performance period, the dollar value of the awards earned under the absolute and relative total shareholder
return components will be separately calculated, and the number of earned Outperformance Awards will be
determined based on the earned dollar value of the awards and the stock price at the performance certification
date. Earned awards will vest 50% on March 31, 2022 and 25% on each of the first and second anniversaries of
such date, subject to continued employment. The current aggregate $12,160 grant-date fair value of the
Outperformance Awards still outstanding was determined based on Monte-Carlo option pricing models which
estimate the probability of the vesting conditions being satisfied.
Summary of Total Share-Based Awards

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of restricted cash, certain components of other assets, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, resident security deposits, and certain components of other liabilities approximate fair value due to the
short maturity of these amounts. Our interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, and investments
in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis within
our consolidated financial statements. The fair values of our interest rate caps and swaps, which are classified as
Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, are estimated using market values of instruments with similar attributes and
maturities. See Note 8 for the details of the consolidated balance sheet classification and the fair values for the
interest rate caps and swaps. The fair values of our investments in equity securities with a readily determinable
fair value are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For additional information related to our
investments in equity securities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, refer to Note 6.

We value our Unsecured Notes—public offering using quoted market prices for each underlying issuance, a
Level 1 price within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our investments in debt securities, Unsecured
Notes—private placement, and mortgage loans, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, are
estimated based on market bid prices of comparable instruments at period end.
We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the
valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications
are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the
changes occur. Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources
impacts our ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3.
Our assessment resulted in a transfer of the Unsecured Notes — private placement from Level 3 to Level 2
during the fourth quarter of 2021. These notes were issued in May 2021 and have a carrying value of $300,000,
excluding deferred financing costs, and an estimated fair value of $298,822 as of December 31, 2021.

ROU Lease Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we relocated one of our corporate offices and vacated the former
location. As the expected undiscounted sublease payments through the remaining original lease term of the
vacated office space no longer exceeded the carrying value of the related ROU lease asset, we concluded that the

ROU lease asset was not fully recoverable. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded impairment
of $1,750 in other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the ROU lease asset
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was
determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis reflective of the income expected from a sublease. We did
not record any impairment of our ROU lease assets during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019. For
additional information related to our ROU lease assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, refer to Note 6.

Incremental shares attributed to non-vested share-based awards are excluded from the computation of
diluted EPS when they are anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, 16,939, 467,
and 121, incremental shares attributed to non-vested share-based awards, respectively, are excluded from the
denominator as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, vested OP Units have been excluded from the
computation of EPS because all income attributable to such vested OP Units has been recorded as
non-controlling interest and thus excluded from net income available to common stockholders.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, 6,225,341 potential shares of common stock for the 2019
Convertible Notes for the period prior to conversion are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as they
are anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, using the “if-converted” method

2022 Convertible Notes, respectively, are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive.
Additionally, no adjustment to the numerator is required for interest expense related to the Convertible Senior
Notes for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. See Note 7 for further discussion about the 2022
Convertible Notes.
Note 13—Income Tax
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. For our TRSs, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We provide a
valuation allowance, from time to time, for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such
assets to be more likely than not. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we have not recorded any deferred tax
assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax
benefits within the next 12 months.
We have sold assets that were either subject to Section 337(d) of the Code or were held by TRSs. These
transactions resulted in $551, $870, and $2,490 of current income tax expense for the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, which has been recorded in gain on sale of property, net of tax in the
consolidated statements of operations.

New-Build Commitments
We have entered into binding purchase agreements with certain homebuilders for the purchase of 1,357
homes over the next six years. Estimated remaining commitments under these agreements total approximately
$420,000 as of December 31, 2021.
Insurance Policies
Pursuant to the terms of certain of our loan agreements (see Note 7), laws and regulations of the
jurisdictions in which our properties are located, and general business practices, we are required to procure
insurance on our properties. As of December 31, 2021, there are no material contingent liabilities related to
uninsured losses with respect to our properties.
Legal Matters
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business as
well as congressional and regulatory inquiries and engagements. We accrue a liability when we believe that it is
both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We
do not believe that the final outcome of these proceedings or matters will have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial statements.
Note 15—Subsequent Events
In connection with the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have
evaluated events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2021, for potential recognition or disclosure.
