Wayne Hughes, our founder and chairman of our board of trustees. AH LLC is the largest beneficial owner of our common shares (including units of our operating partnership, American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., that are exchangeable for common shares). Various statements contained in this presentation, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of our strategies, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These assumptions include, among others, our projections and expectations regarding: market trends in the single-family home rental industry and in the local markets where we operate, our ability to institutionalize a historically fragmented business model, our business strengths, our ideal tenant profile, the quality and location of our properties in attractive neighborhoods, the scale advantage of our national platform and the superiority of our operational infrastructure, the effectiveness of our investment philosophy and diversified acquisition strategy, our ability to create a cash flow opportunity with attractive current yields and upside from increasing rents and cost efficiencies and our understanding of our competition and general economic, demographic and real estate conditions that may impact our business. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in our expectations, unless required by applicable law.

| SFR Industry Overview

| Largest Income Producing Asset Class in the U.S. 14.9 million single-family rental homes in the U.S.(1) Historical “mom & pop” landlord model Institutional ownership represents only ~1% of total single-family rental market Macro Factors Driving Rental Demand Household formation continues to show strong growth, outpacing new housing supply Student and credit card debt continue to hinder ability to purchase a home Homeownership across all age groups has continued to fall since 2004 Consumer Shift Toward Renting Desire for increased flexibility and mobility continue to shift consumer mindset toward renting vs. owning Larger down payment requirements and tight lending standards following housing crisis continue to limit ability of many to purchase a home Acquisition Opportunities Remain Robust and Attractive Despite decline in REO inventory and mortgage delinquencies, acquisition opportunities remain robust with reduced competition Yields remain compelling and high relative to historical averages Purchase prices significantly below replacement costs, providing downside protection Bullish Long Term Prospects Current rent per square foot significantly below multi-family comparables, providing opportunity to drive rent growth Ability and expertise to streamline and control all aspects of the business model As SFR market matures and operations stabilize, sector will likely become a core institutionally owned asset class focused on cash flow metrics Many parallels between SFR sector and other recently institutionalized sectors, including multi-family, self-storage, healthcare and datacenters, which took time to mature SFR Industry Overview U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 4

| FFO and Core FFO Reconciliation 21 FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute Core FFO by adjusting FFO for (1) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense and (3) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our Series E units liability and Preferred shares derivative liability to fair value. Includes weighted-average common shares outstanding and assumes full conversion of all Operating Partnership units outstanding, including Class A units, which totaled 14,440,670 at March 31, 2015, and 13,787,292 at March 31, 2014, as well as 31,085,974 Series C units, 4,375,000 Series D units and 4,375,000 Series E units at March 31, 2015 and 2014 Core funds from operations $ 41,929 $ 28,063
