On the Spot with Kris Oxtal – November 2025

Kris Oxtal on Single-Family Rental REITs

The latest episode of On the Spot dives into one of the fastest-evolving sectors in CRE: Single-Family Rental (SFR) and Build-to-Rent (BTR) communities.

Steve Williams sits down with Kris Oxtal to unpack how institutional ownership reshaped the space, why operational efficiency remains a major hurdle, and why BTR is more than a housing trend. It’s becoming part of America’s social infrastructure.

🔍 Key Topics Discussed:

• Why many SFR platforms are now turning to third-party managers like Invitation Homes.
• BTR as “social infrastructure”: family-sized rentals in good school districts and $1,000–$1,200 cheaper per month than owning.
• Longer tenant stays (3–5 years) and lower turnover costs driving institutional capital back into the sector.
• Capital inflows rising from $5.4B to $7.5B in just one year.
