Welcome

Lafayette Real Estate is an asset management firm focused on the Single-Family Rental (SFR) space in the US and a vertically integrated owner-operator with a proven track record and unmatched depth of experience in SFR. We have invested in ~ 4,000 homes in twelve core markets, mainly in high-growth Southeastern states.

Meet the team

Drawing strength from a variety of backgrounds

We believe our most compelling advantage is our people. Our team members come from diverse backgrounds, with professional experience in finance, legal, property management, construction, compliance and operations. This unique blend of talents – coupled with hard work and attention to detail – puts us in a position of unparalleled strength for assessing, investing in and managing real assets.

Business Lines

Vertically-Integrated SFR owner operator, investing across product types and strategies

We deploy capital to address the shortage of homes in the US through two main investment strategies:
    • Build for Rent: Develop and build new communities of Single Family Homes for rent
    • SFR Rehab: Acquire and upgrade existing homes and deliver them to the rental market

We believe in the benefits of a vertically integrated platform, including property management services (Brandywine Homes USA) and development & construction services (Marquis Homes).

Lafayette lending is currently on hold, but we plan on (re)launching a credit strategy focused on SFR soon.

Funds

A solid track record with unmatched depth of experience in SFR

Lafayette has been a pioneer in the SFR space since 2011, generating best-in-class IRRs coupled with low delinquency rates, short leasing times, and high renewal rates, reflecting our commitment to resident satisfaction.
