SFR | BTR Industry Roundtables

The single-family rental industry is entering a new policy era. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the most significant federal housing legislation in decades, has now passed both the House and the Senate and heads to the President, who is expected to sign it into law. For SFR, the headline provision restricts companies that already own 350 or more single-family homes from purchasing more, alongside exemptions tied to how homes are acquired and operated and new renter-facing obligations. With the law now at hand, operators are asking a very practical, technology-first question: how do we build the data, systems, and workflows to stay compliant with confidence and at scale?

The session is designed as a peer exchange, not a presentation. Participants share what they are building, what is working, and where the open questions remain, so everyone leaves with practical, technology-driven ideas they can take back to their teams. The resident-advocacy voice keeps the conversation grounded in real outcomes for renters.

Today's owners expect more than traditional property management—they expect strategic partners who can protect assets, elevate the resident experience, optimize operations, and deliver measurable business results. This invitation-only Executive Roundtable brings together owners, operators, and property management leaders for a candid discussion on the evolving expectations of third-party management partnerships.

Together, participants will exchange perspectives on the operational strategies, performance metrics, technology, communication, and customer experience initiatives that distinguish high-performing management organizations and create long-term value for owners and residents alike.

While the industry celebrates pathways for Large Institutional Investors to acquire single-family homes, the removal of the mandatory seven-year sale provision, and the legitimization of build-to-rent as an asset class, the true exposure for SFR and BTR operators, developers and property managers resides in what follows: unresolved definitions, HUD's still unwritten implementing regulations, and a fast-approaching January 2027 enforcement deadline. This deep dive panel discussion brings together SFR and BTR executives to leave with an action plan for what to do before year end; not just before the January 7, 2027 deadline.

Roundtable participants will exchange perspectives, explore the evolving policy environment, and discuss the advocacy efforts and market dynamics that will influence the future of rental housing.
