Marty Cicco, senior managing director with Evercore Partners, joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWeek 2014: NAREIT’s Investor Forum, held in New York.
Cicco discussed the future of the single-family housing sector and the possibilities for more initial public offerings (IPOs) in the group down the road. Cicco said he believes the proliferation of single-family REITs is likely to be a “short-term phenomenon.” He indicated that the challenges of operating a single-family residential portfolio could deter new entrants from coming into the marketplace.
