Amherst Overview

Amherst is a vertically integrated real estate investment, development, and operating platform, offering solutions across the U.S. real estate capital stack, including single-family residential (SFR), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and commercial real estate (CRE). Amherst is headquartered in Austin, TX and New York, NY, in the United States, with regional global offices located in India and Costa Rica. Underpinned by proprietary technology, battle-tested data and mortgage model, and a deep understanding of U.S. real estate markets, Amherst's vertically integrated platform seeks to provide investors a more efficient model to price, finance, and manage real estate with turnkey execution capabilities across the firm's debt and equity strategies in the public and private residential, commercial, and mortgage-backed securities markets.

Our Single-Family Residential strategy has quickly scaled over the last 10 years to own and operate 40,000+ homes in 30+ markets across 20 states while building a vertically integrated real estate investment and operating platform that manages approximately $18bn in assets (AuM). Across the SFR strategy, Amherst acquires, builds, renovates, leases, finances, manages, and disposes of homes on its own account and for its investors. Outside of the SFR strategy, Amherst is engaged in various strategic initiatives and venture businesses, including commercial real estate debt and equity (all things non-SFR) and mortgage-backed securities advisory.
