FirstKey to Handle Property Management for Cerberus Homes

FirstKey Holdings in Rye Brook, N.Y., has formed a business unit to manage single-family rental homes.

FirstKey Homes earlier this month assumed management of about 4,200 rental homes in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Tennessee, according to a Wednesday news release.

FirstKey obtained the management of the homes through their acquisition by private equity fund Cerberus Capital Management, which majority-owns FirstKey. The purchase made Cerberus one of the top 10 owners of U.S. houses.

The homes previously had been owned by Building & Land Technology and had been managed by BLT Homes in Aurora, Ill.
