History
The company was established in October 2012 by B. Wayne Hughes, the founder of Public Storage.[2] It was one of the first large public companies to begin investing heavily in single-family homes, following the entry of The Blackstone Group into the field in 2012.[3] Early funding for the company included a $600 million investment from the Alaska Permanent Fund.[2]
