1.1 - Residential and Healthcare REITs Market Context & Valuation Drivers
Public companies in this trading comps group are real estate investment trusts that own, develop, acquire, and operate rental housing and healthcare-related properties. Portfolios include multifamily apartments, single-family rentals, manufactured housing communities, senior living, and outpatient/life science facilities. They are grouped as public trading comparables because they generate recurring lease-based cash flows, share REIT capital structures, and are benchmarked by occupancy, same-store NOI, FFO, and portfolio growth.
Typical capabilities span property acquisition and development, leasing and asset management, and full-service property operations. Offerings include Class A apartment communities, value-oriented rentals, single-family homes for lease, manufactured housing and RV communities, independent and assisted living, memory care, postβacute rehabilitation centers, outpatient medical office buildings, and life science research facilities. Many deploy capital recycling, redevelopment, resident services programs, and data-driven pricing to optimize NOI and returns.
Primary customers include residential renters and households, seniors and their families, and healthcare providers, physician groups, and lifeβscience tenants. Key valuation benchmarks center on occupancy and retention, rent growth and sameβstore NOI trends, FFO/AFFO per share and leverage, and development/redevelopment yields. Investors assess portfolio mix, market exposure, lease term structures, and operating margins to gauge durability of cash flows and growth.
