• Lafayette is an asset manager uniquely focused on acquiring, financing and managing US single-family homes.• Having pioneered the development of the professional single-family home rental (SFR) industry in the US, Lafayette is on a mission to be the leading asset manager in the space.• Lafayette was founded in 2011 by Thibault Adrien. The initial vision was to take advantage of an extraordinary amount of abandoned single-family homes being sold by US banks, to acquire them, renovate them, and rent them out.• Lafayette's first two funds executed on a "distressed" acquisition strategy, focusing exclusively on foreclosure sales. Value was created at acquisition by paying below market prices, through repositioning thanks to disciplined renovation processes and subsequently through a rental yield.• In 2013, at a time where inventory was high and homebuilders were capital-constrained, Lafayette expanded its scope and launched a land fund.• In 2014 Lafayette launched Brandywine Homes USA ("Brandywine) as a wholly-owned property management arm. Brandywine's mission is to provide top-quality service to residents and enhance investor returns by more effectively managing maintenance costs and maximizing renewal rates.• In 2016 the firm started Lafayette Lending to invest in the Fix & Flip lending space, leveraging its hands-on expertise as single-family investor and property manager to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns.• In 2018 Lafayette merged its first two funds to create Lafayette Longview, a long-term investment company, and launched Fund III.• In 2019 Lafayette partnered with a US institutional investor to expand in the single-family build-for-rent space and acquire entire communities of newly built-single-family homes.
