Founded during the Great Recession, Invitation Homes (NYSE: INVH) has slowly expanded its portfolio of single-family rental homes across the United States since 2012. It now owns and operates 80,000 homes across 16 markets and is the largest operator of single-family rental homes in the country.

The company seems to think so. It recently announced it has formed a $375 million joint venture with Rockpoint Group to acquire single-family homes and operate them as rentals. Invitation Homes will contribute $75 million, and Rockport will put in $300 million. But that’s just the start. The joint venture eventually plans to deploy over $1 billion to buy and renovate homes in the West and South, where Invitation Homes is already strong.

Dallas-based Invitation Homes, the country’s largest rental home owner, is forming a joint venture with a private equity firm to buy up to $1 billion in single-family homes in Dallas, Seattle, South Florida and a dozen other U.S. markets.
