Today Amherst has over 1000 employees and $14.1 billion in assets under management. Over the past decade, Amherst has scaled its platform to become one of the largest operators of single-family assets and has acquired, renovated, and leased more than 46,000 homes across 32 markets in the U.S. The firm delivers customized, stabilized cash-flowing portfolios of assets to its investors, wrapped in all the ongoing services required to manage, own, and finance the asset including property management, portfolio management, and a full capital markets team. In addition to its single-family rental platform, Amherst's debt business pursues two distinct credit strategies in mortgage-backed securities and commercial real estate lending. Over its 25-year history, Amherst has developed a deep bench of research and technology talent, and leverages data and analytics at every stage in the asset lifecycle to improve operations and preserve long-term value for our investors and the more than 188,000 residents the firm has served. Position: Portfolio Analyst - Portfolio Management Amherst Overview Amherst is a vertically integrated real estate investment, development, and operating platform, offering solutions across the U.S. real estate capital stack, including single-family residential (SFR), mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and commercial real estate (CRE). Amherst is headquartered in Austin, TX and New York, NY, in the United States, with regional global offices located in India and Costa Rica. Underpinned by proprietary technology, battle-tested data and mortgage model, and a deep understanding of U.S. real estate markets, Amherst's vertically integrated platform seeks to provide investors a more efficient model to price, finance, and manage real estate with turnkey execution capabilities across the firm's debt and equity strategies in the public and private residential, commercial, and mortgage-backed securities markets. Our Single-Family Residential strategy has quickly scaled over the last 10 years to own and operate 40,000+ homes in 30+ markets across 20 states while building a vertically integrated real estate investment and operating platform that manages approximately $18bn in assets. Across the SFR strategy, Amherst acquires, builds, renovates, leases, finances, manages, and disposes of homes on its own account and for its investors. Outside of the SFR strategy, Amherst is engaged in various strategic initiatives and venture businesses, including commercial real estate debt and equity (all things non-SFR) and mortgage-backed securities advisory.
