PHOENIX, July 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- American Realty Partners (ARP), a privately held Phoenix-based real estate investment company, is pleased to announce its recent conversion to a publicly traded company incorporated in Maryland now to be known as American Housing Income Trust, Inc. (OTCBB: AHIT).
Over the last several years, ARP has been working with investors throughout the country building a sustainable portfolio of quality single-family rentals primarily in the Phoenix area. Single Family Home Rentals (SFHR's) is estimated to be a $2.7 trillion dollar market and has grown for a number of reasons directly related to the financial crisis which began in 2007-2008. During that time many families have not been able to secure mortgages and many families that do qualify for mortgages are choosing to rent homes to keep their options open. We believe that there is a true cultural change taking place in this country and these families are choosing to live in homes as opposed to multifamily apartment complexes. ARP has also experienced success engaging in "fix and flips" on distressed residential properties.
Sean Zarinegar, AHIT's CEO said that the conversion to a public company is the latest step in the company's strategy for growth. "Going public allows our investors the opportunity for greater liquidity because they will now have direct access to the public marketplace. It also allows AHIT greater exposure to the capital markets as we position the company for larger institutional investors."
Mr. Zarinegar added that the downturn in the single-family home market several years ago has given investors the chance to profit from the market's recovery. "We are seeing many neighborhoods appreciate in value. Our business model is based on collecting cash flow from rents while our properties continue to appreciate. It's a winning combination."
Mr. Zarinegar concluded by saying that AHIT intends to expand to other areas throughout the U.S. to capitalize on this asset class.
