Miguel Gutierrez
With over 23 years of experience Miguel Gutierrez has an impressive track record as a real estate executive specializing in housing and an expert in establishing and managing institutional investment programs for all forms of residential properties. Over the past 6 years Miguel has been at the forefront of the emerging single family rental asset class. In fact, his groundbreaking work at Fannie Mae was a catalyst to single family rental becoming an acceptable institutional asset class. At the height of the foreclosure crisis, Miguel set up and ran the nation’s first large-scale single family rental portfolio, repositioning more than 25,000 homes. More recently Miguel led the integration of Starwood Property Trust’s single family business into Waypoint Homes resulting in a new best-in-class single family rental REIT.
Miguel’s broad real estate expertise also includes mortgage default services and loss mitigation, evaluating real estate investment opportunities, and establishing and managing institutional investment programs in real estate. He served as Director of Acquisitions for Fannie Mae’s American Communities Fund leading investments in multifamily and single family housing through joint venture with leading developers and through managed real estate funds. He has filled executive and professional positions in a range of organizations – closely held companies, traded real estate development and investment firms, public accounting firms, and government-sponsored enterprise. To each he brought an entrepreneurial approach and business acumen that always added value to the organization.
