Simply Homes is a Portland, Maine–based startup that acquires, renovates and manages single-family homes to provide long-term affordable rentals to very low-income families, the elderly, disabled and Section-8 voucher holders. Founded in 2020, the company spent its first years building a technology platform and began buying homes in January of this year. It uses machine learning and HUD data to underwrite acquisitions rapidly and claims predictable income through the Housing Choice Voucher program. By the end of the month it expects to have 108 units in its portfolio, and since its first-quarter launch it has seen revenue grow by more than 50% quarter over quarter. Simply Homes operates an operating company/property company structure, collects rents and charges a transaction fee plus a 3% ongoing portfolio management fee.

BuildCasa operates a service that helps homeowners build and sell backyard homes (ADUs) by partnering with local builders and handling the entire lot split and sale process, including permitting, surveying, architectural design, mortgage-lender coordination, and finding buyers. The company leverages proprietary data-science tools to identify eligible homeowners and lots, assess project feasibility, and determine the type of BuildCasa-designed home suitable for each property. BuildCasa is not a construction firm; it outsources building to local contractors while owning the end-to-end customer experience. The startup recently emerged from stealth and has signed agreements with 30 homeowners; it reports an average city planning approval time of 49 days using its streamlined permitting automation. BuildCasa says homeowners can earn up to six figures from lot sales, and the product has particular resonance with seniors on fixed incomes; high interest rates have also created a tailwind as homeowners seek ways to tap equity without giving up low mortgages. The company is expanding beyond its initial Sacramento market into the Bay Area and the Inland Empire.
