Investment firm C-Star has exited its first fund, an aggregated portfolio of single-family rental homes in the Atlanta metro area, in a sale to an unnamed institutional SFR operator.
C-Star CEO Sherri Li said the fund almost doubled its purchase price and received multiple cash offers from key players in the SFR sector. It sold at an in-place cap rate of sub-4% and at more than 10% over asking to an institutional investor that currently owns 40,000 homes across the United States.
C-Star's acquisition strategy tends to target middle-income, entry-level properties at rental rates between $1,500 and $2,500. The fund's average tenant profile has an annual income of around $60,000 to $100,000, Li said.
