The housing needs of American families continue to evolve, and the role Invitation Homes plays in today’s market has only grown more essential. While many people aspire to own a home, rising costs, limited supply, and lifestyle shifts have made leasing a high quality single family home an increasingly important and valued option. Families choose our homes for the savings and flexibility they offer, and they stay because of the experience our teams deliver every day.

Over the past year, Invitation Homes continued to execute with discipline and purpose. Our teams remained focused on delivering reliable growth, strengthening our foundation, and enhancing the resident experience that sets us apart. I am pleased to highlight several achievements from this past year:

These accomplishments position us well as we look to the year ahead, and they reflect the dedication of our teams and the trust our residents and stockholders place in us. With that momentum and our continued focus on disciplined growth and operational excellence, we now turn to the important business of our Annual Meeting.
