La Jolla, California, November, 10, 2014 – Reven Housing REIT, Inc. ("Reven" or the "Company") (OTCBB: RVEND) today announced that it has acquired 26 single-family homes in three separate closings. Two additional homes in Jacksonville, Florida were acquired on October 30, 2014 and 24 homes in Memphis, Tennessee were acquired from two separate sellers on November 4, 2014 and November 7, 2014, respectively. The aggregate purchase price for all 26 homes was approximately $2,039,336, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded 100% of the purchase with cash. The acquired properties average 1,650 square feet and are mostly three-bedroom, two bath homes. Of the acquired properties, 14 are currently subject to one-year leases, and 12 are subject to multi-year leases.

 

Chad M. Carpenter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Reven, commented, “We recently consummated the delayed closings of acquisitions of additional properties that are part of our existing portfolio purchase contracts once these homes were fixed, leased and occupied, satisfying certain of our acquisition criteria that homes be fixed, leased and occupied before we close escrow in accordance with our investment strategy of reducing risk and increasing cash flow with our portfolio acquisitions. In addition, we completed the acquisition of a new portfolio of 21 homes from a new seller in Memphis. Reven now owns a total of 319 homes, 168 in Houston, 93 in Memphis, 49 in Jacksonville and 9 in Atlanta.”
