What Is An SFR Portfolio?
An SFR Portfolio refers to multiple rental properties–usually Single Family Detached Homes, 2-4 Unit Homes, and Townhomes, sold as a group. A portfolio generally has one operator that is charged with overseeing the management of the portfolio either through a third-party property management firm or directly managed by the owner.

Why Sell Rental Properties As a Portfolio?
When people refer to selling a portfolio, generally, they are talking about selling all homes owned in a single transaction to a single buyer. There are several advantages of selling rental properties packaged as a portfolio vs. one-by-one sales through the MLS or through traditional real estate brokers. Some of these advantages include:
- Being able to sell all homes with tenants in place, without vacating the properties
- Selling all homes without having to do rehabs or renovations on each property
- Avoiding the time and headache of selling multiple properties to multiple buyers
- Reducing the cost of sale including paying higher brokerage fees, rehab costs, and vacancy days
- Ability to do a 1031 exchange into a larger real estate investment

How do you price an SFR Portfolio?
SFR Portfolio sales are a hybrid of a traditional home sale and a commercial property sale. The pricing and packaging strategy includes a multiple-step process that Strata SFR guides you through:
- Individual property retail pricing, generally done by utilizing multiple Automated Valuation Models (AVMs). This allows an owner to understand the top-end value of each home
- Estimating deferred maintenance and potential Capital Expenditures (Cap Ex) that an end buyer would have to spend in order to maximize each home’s value
- Calculating the As-Is value of each home based on the Retail Value and assumed Cap-Ex
- Identifying the top-end market rents each home can achieve once its value is maximized through renovations
- Calculating current returns vs future potential returns in order to come up with an appropriate total portfolio value
