NexPoint Residential Trust (NYSE:NXRT) is a Maryland-based real estate investment trust that acquires, develops and manages single-family rental communities across the United States. The company pursues both stabilized and build-to-rent assets, targeting suburban locations that cater to young families, professionals and retirees seeking home-style living with the convenience of community amenities. NexPoint’s portfolio strategy emphasizes high-growth Sun Belt markets, where demand for professionally managed rental housing has remained robust.
Core business activities include the acquisition of existing single-family rental homes, ground-up development of clustered rental communities and value-add repositioning of legacy assets. The firm partners with local homebuilders and uses centralized leasing and maintenance platforms to streamline operations and enhance resident experience. In addition to leasing, NexPoint provides resident services such as online payment portals, 24/7 customer support and routine property maintenance through its network of preferred vendors.
Geographically, NexPoint Residential Trust concentrates its holdings in markets across Texas, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. These regions have been selected based on favorable population growth trends, strong employment fundamentals and housing supply constraints. The company’s disciplined approach to site selection aims to balance cash flow predictability in established communities with higher yield potential in newly developed neighborhoods.
Since its initial public offering in 2017, NexPoint has benefited from an external management structure provided by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, LLC. The management team is led by Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Ott, who brings decades of multifamily and single-family rental experience, and a board composed of real estate investment professionals. Under this leadership, the trust continues to expand its footprint, enhance operational efficiencies and pursue accretive growth opportunities in its targeted markets.
