As part of our growth strategy, we completed the acquisition of ResiBuilt and expanded our platform to engage in the development and construction of single-family rental homes and communities, including through build-to-rent development and third-party fee-building arrangements. These activities involve substantial up-front costs, operational complexity, and execution risk, and require us to successfully manage land acquisition strategies, construction processes, and development timelines before homes are available for rent and to generate income. Our development and construction strategy may also be restricted by governmental regulations and zoning requirements that limit the locations, density, or types of homes we are able to build. Building rental homes and rental communities also involves significant risks to our business, such as delays or cost increases due to changes in or failure to meet regulatory requirements, including permitting and zoning regulations, failure of lease rentals on newly-constructed properties to achieve anticipated investment returns, inclement weather, adverse site selection, unforeseen site conditions or shortages of suitable land, construction materials, and labor, and other risks. We may be unable to build new rental homes and rental communities that generate acceptable returns, and, as a result, our growth and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
The successful integration of ResiBuilt’s operations, personnel, systems, and development pipeline into our organization is subject to execution risk. We may encounter challenges in retaining key personnel, aligning development standards and processes, managing increased operational scale, or realizing anticipated benefits from the acquisition. If we are unable to effectively integrate these operations or manage expanded development activities, our growth strategy, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Although the ResiBuilt acquisition includes options to acquire approximately 1,500 lots, no land was acquired in the transaction, and there can be no assurance that we will exercise these options on favorable terms, if at all. The availability, timing, and economics of future lot acquisitions remain subject to market conditions, entitlement risk, competition with other homebuilders and land buyers, inflation in land prices, zoning and density restrictions, and other regulatory approvals, many of which are outside of our control. If we are unable to secure suitable lots at acceptable prices, exercise lot options on favorable terms, or experience delays in land acquisition or development, the number of homes we are able to construct and lease, or the scale of our development activities, could be limited, which could adversely affect our growth, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
