All across the United States, the rate of home ownership is continuing to drop; however, a recent news report suggests that a new form of home ownership is actually increasing. More and more corporations are starting to invest in single-family homes, eventually making use of them in the form of rental units. This trend has been attracting the attention of a large number of professionals in the real estate industry and American Capital Holdings LLC.
Although the recovery of the real estate market is taking place slowly but surely, the fact is that in many areas of the country house values are still depressed and a number of big investment companies are starting to take advantage of this by purchasing thousands of foreclosed properties all across the United States. These firms are then managing these single-family homes in the same fashion that an investment firm would manage an apartment complex or condo community. Fannie Mae has won headlines of late by getting rid of a large amount of its foreclosed properties at a bulk rate, selling almost 700 properties in Florida and 94 properties in Chicago to big companies. These companies have in turn pledged to turn them into rental properties for at least the next three years.
This new trend has attracted the attention of American Capital Holdings. Founded seven years ago, back in 2005, American Capital Holdings LLC established a boutique hard money lending service targeted at financing commercial real estate investments. "American Capital Holdings LLC's hybrid funding program is suited for the institution investor seeking to purchase distressed property for asset appreciation," the company says. "Furthermore, the funding model developed ensures success for all qualified applicants."
