Carrington Property Services [1] announced Friday its bullish outlook for 2014, citing predictions that the single-family/rent-to-own business market will exceed $15 billion.
In the release, the company noted that it provides "third party property management services and/or components of property management, due diligence and valuation services to the banking/mortgage segment."
Carrington entered the single-family rental asset class in 2007 and formed Carrington Property Services, LLC to serve as a property management company.
The company has collected rents of more than $57 million in the last 12 months, and has managed over 35,000 single-family rental assets in the past 7 years in 46 states.
Currently, Carrington manages over 7,000 single-family rental assets as of the end of January, 2014.
Carrington believes its vertically integrated business model, coined "the continuum approach" to real estate, allows them a unique advantage.
"Being able to touch so many aspects of the single-family home provides opportunities to capture operating leverage and superior quality of service. It also offers institutional investors a performance advantage when it comes to managing and selling one-to-four unit family assets," the release said.
