Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
As of September 30, 2024, the Company held 20% ownership interests in four unconsolidated joint ventures. In evaluating the Company’s 20% ownership interests in these joint ventures, we concluded that the joint ventures are not VIEs after applying the variable interest model and, therefore, we account for our interests in the joint ventures as investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries after applying the voting interest model using the equity method of accounting. Equity in net income (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures is included in other income and expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company entered into a joint venture with (i) the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (the “Alaska JV”) during the second quarter of 2014 to invest in homes acquired through traditional acquisition channels, (ii) another leading institutional investor (the “Institutional Investor JV”) during the third quarter of 2018 to invest in newly constructed single-family rental homes and (iii) institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management focused on constructing and operating newly built rental homes during the first quarter of 2020 (“J.P. Morgan JV I”) and third quarter of 2023 (“J.P. Morgan JV II”).

The following table summarizes our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (amounts in thousands, except percentages and property data):

The Company provides various services to these joint ventures, which are considered to be related parties, including property management and development services and has opportunities to earn promoted interests. Management fee and development fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $4.0 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $10.6 million and $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in other income and expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the Company’s management of these joint ventures, certain related party receivables and payables arise in the ordinary course of business and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets or amounts payable to affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company also transfers single-family properties or land to the joint ventures in the ordinary course of business and any gains or losses on transfers are included in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2022, J.P. Morgan JV I entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to a $375.0 million aggregate commitment. During the initial three-year term, the loan bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a 1.50% margin and matures on January 28, 2025. The loan agreement provides for one one-year extension option that includes additional fees and interest. As of September 30, 2024, J.P. Morgan JV I’s loan had a $324.0 million outstanding principal balance.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Institutional Investor JV amended its existing loan agreement. During the three-year term, the loan, which has an aggregate commitment of $232.7 million, bears interest at SOFR plus a 1.90% margin and matures on July 1, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the Institutional Investor JV’s loan had a $232.7 million outstanding principal balance.

The Company has provided customary non-recourse guarantees for the J.P. Morgan JV I and Institutional Investor JV loans that may become a liability for us upon a voluntary bankruptcy filing by the joint ventures or the occurrence of other actions such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by us or the joint ventures. To date, the guarantees have not been invoked, and we believe that the actions that would trigger a guarantee would generally be disadvantageous to the joint ventures and us and therefore are unlikely to occur. However, there can be no assurances that actions that could trigger the guarantee will not occur.
