ABOUT THE STUDY

As a real estate company focused on affordability, quality, and value of their single-family homes for lease, VineBrook has
demonstrated its commitment to providing a variety of housing options and being a good citizen in the communities where it owns
homes. HR&A was engaged to evaluate and communicate VineBrook’s impacts and contributions in Cincinnati. HR&A’s analysis
focused on four areas to demonstrate VineBrook’s impact in the community and to respond to criticisms. Specifically, HR&A
analyzed housing market dynamics in the study area and VineBrook’s direct investment impact, property quality standards, rental
rates and rent escalation, and local community presence.

HR&A’S APPROACH

1. Housing market dynamics


Using publicly available data sources, HR&A analyzed housing market dynamics and trends over the last few decades
including housing supply and demand, age of housing stock, and barriers to homeownership.
2. Access to affordable rental housing
HR&A analyzed rents, rent increases, and residents’ housing cost burdens as well as VineBrook’s financial assistance
programs for residents.
3. Responsible property management and maintenance practices
HR&A analyzed VineBrook’s upfront and ongoing property management, maintenance expenses, and staff resources.
4. Impact on the local economy and community
HR&A analyzed VineBrook’s direct economic impact including job creation and investment in the community (including
charitable contributions).

KEY FINDINGS

Housing market dynamics


o VineBrook primarily purchases older homes that are not available for purchase to individual homebuyers. 87% of VineBrook’s properties
bought between 2018-22 were renter-occupied at the time of purchase. These transactions did not shift owner-occupied homes to homes for
lease and were already investor-owned homes prior to VineBrook’s purchase.
o The size of VineBrook’s portfolio–<1% of Hamilton County’s housing stock–is insufficient to shift the homeownership rate.
o Larger market and regulatory forces are responsible for declining homeownership rates. These include limited new housing development,
higher home prices, and high mortgage denial rates.

Access to affordable rental housing


o Cincinnati MSA rents are an average of $330 higher per month than VineBrook rents. In 2021-22 YTD, MSA-wide rents increased 17.3% while
VineBrook rents increased just 6.6%. Rather than being a driver of increasing rents, VineBrook provides access to some of the most affordable
market rents in the MSA.
o VineBrook has facilitated $3.57M in rental assistance to 796 families including rental subsidies and rent forgiveness.

Responsible property management and maintenance practices


o From 2019–22 YTD, VineBrook spent an average of $27,000 per property to renovate it upon acquisition.
o Since entering the Cincinnati market, VineBrook has spent $62.5M in rehabilitation, repairs, and maintenance. In 2021, average spend per
completed rehabilitation was $24,000; in 2022 (YTD), it is $28,000.
o Between 2017 and 2022, VineBrook properties had only 0.2 code violations per year. The majority of these – 82% – are minor and require
limited action.

Impact on the local economy and community


o Over the last 14 years, VineBrook has grown its team in Cincinnati to 100 staff members, with $6.55 million wages paid annually.
o In 2021-22, VineBrook spent over $25 million on 413 trusted vendor partners.

High mortgage denial rates in Hamilton County limit the number of
first-time homeowners.
There are a number of factors contributing to the
MORTGAGE DENIAL RATES IN HAMILTON COUNTY CENSUS TRACTS, BY
high mortgage denial rates in Hamilton County.
PROPERTY VALUES
Hamilton County has some of the oldest single-
family housing stock in the country. The median age
of single-family homes in the County is 65 years,
compared to 46 years for across the US. 93% of
Hamilton County’s housing stock was built before
2000, i.e., are “older” homes. Older homes often do
not meet the property condition requirements for
mortgage loans – handrails, updated electrical, etc.
Mortgages are either denied or the homes are sold
to cash buyers, usually investors, who can make the
repairs and upgrades without a mortgage.

Systemic racism in the mortgage origination process and overall housing
market are also significant barriers to homeownership in Hamilton County.
MORTGAGE DENIAL RATES IN HAMILTON COUNTY CENSUS TRACTS, BY
PERCENT MINORITY POPULATION The low-property value areas, where denials are
higher, largely track with higher numbers of
households of color. The median property value in
majority minority tracts is $114,300, 40% less than
the $187,550 in a 50th percentile majority White
census tract. The lower appraised values make
achieving homeownership in these neighborhoods
more difficult than in other parts of the county.

Between 2007 and 2017, the mortgage denial rate


for Black applicants was twice that for White
applicants (35% vs 17% respectively).
