Turnkey single-family · 1,600+ homes · Eight markets
Align Capital Group sources single-family rentals in markets where the math still works — then renovates, tenants, and manages them with our own team. More than 1,600 homes run through our turnkey program today.
How it works
Most turnkey companies hand you off at closing. We don't, because the part after closing is the part that decides whether the investment works.
We buy off-market and through local relationships in markets where rent still covers the cost of owning. Price discipline happens here or it doesn't happen at all.
Our scope, our budget, our crews. We fix what a tenant will feel every day and what an inspector will find later — not what photographs well.
Listing, screening, lease, and move-in run in-house. A house isn't finished when the paint dries. It's finished when someone lives there.
Rent collection, maintenance, renewals, turns, and owner reporting. The same company that bought the house is the one that answers the phone.
Services
Owning a rental at a distance means depending on a chain of companies who don't talk to each other. We took the chain apart and put the pieces under one roof — Align Capital Group and its lease-option arm, Align Property Group, alongside a lending partner who already knows our markets.
We find the house, renovate it, place the tenant, and manage it from there — rent collection, maintenance, renewals, turns, and monthly owner reporting. More than 1,600 homes sit in this program today, which means the process an investor is buying into is one we already run at scale rather than one we're building around them.
The team managing your house is the team that bought it. They know what was replaced, what was left alone, and why — so a maintenance call gets answered with context instead of a work order.
A resident leases the home with a contractual path to buy it. They pay an option fee and rent as usual, and the agreement sets out the terms under which they can purchase. For an owner, it's a rental with a defined exit already written into the paperwork.
Lease options are documentation-heavy and they fail quietly when the manager doesn't understand the agreement they're administering. Because we write the agreement and manage the property, option payments, renewal dates, and the eventual purchase are tracked in one system by people who know what the contract says.
Investors who finance their purchase work with First Colony Mortgage, our lending partner. They handle the loan; we handle the property and the paperwork that underwriting asks for.
A lender seeing one of our houses for the first time asks for rent rolls, scope of work, and market comps, and the clock runs while an investor chases them down. Our lending partner sees these properties repeatedly and already knows the markets and the rent assumptions, so underwriting starts from a shorter list of questions.
Coverage placed on the property and tracked against it — policy, premium, renewal date, and carrier, held alongside the rest of the property record rather than in a folder somewhere.
Coverage gaps almost never happen in the middle of a policy year. They happen at transitions — closing, a tenant moving out, a stretch of vacancy, a renewal nobody caught. Those are exactly the moments the management side already knows about, which is why insurance belongs next to it and not somewhere else.
Buy from one company, get managed by a second, financed by a third, insured by a fourth, and every one of them holds a piece of the picture. None of them holds all of it. The only person positioned to see the whole thing is you — and you're the one who isn't there.
So the property manager doesn't know the lease has an option clause. The insurer doesn't know the house went vacant six weeks ago. The lender doesn't know what the rehab actually covered. Nobody did anything wrong. The information simply had nowhere to travel.
Putting these four services under one roof isn't about convenience or a single invoice. It's that when the same company holds all four pieces, the information moves on its own — and the failures that cost investors money mostly stop happening.
Where we operate
Finding deals is where this company started. We don't buy where the story is good — we buy where rents hold, jobs are diversified, and the price of entry leaves room to be wrong.

The case
Single-family rentals are the least exotic thing in real estate. An ordinary house, rented to an ordinary family, in a place where people want to live. That's the whole product. There's no lease-up risk on a hundred units at once, no operator between you and the asset, and a resale market made of regular buyers rather than institutions.
It's also the hardest kind of real estate to run well from a distance — which is exactly why the operator matters more than the market.
Vertical integration isn't a slogan here. Acquisitions, renovation, leasing, and management all sit under one roof. When something goes wrong, there's no vendor to blame and no handoff to lose it in.
Fragmented ownership is where turnkey investing usually breaks. You buy from one company, get managed by a second, and get repairs from a third — and none of them was there when the house was purchased.
The company that bought the house is the company that has to live with it.
About
Align Capital Group is a Utah-based real estate operating company and the parent of Align Property Group, our lease-option arm. Together we acquire, renovate, lease, and manage single-family homes across Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Utah.
We began as investors. The work was finding deals — screening markets across the country for places where the purchase price and the rent still made sense together, and buying there whether or not it was the market everyone happened to be talking about that year.
What we learned is that the deal is the easier half. A house bought well can still lose money in the hands of a manager who isn't paying attention, and for a long time that was the part we couldn't control. So we built the operating side ourselves — acquisitions, renovation, leasing, management — because we needed it to exist before anyone was willing to sell it to us at the standard we wanted.
That order matters. We didn't add investing to a management company. We added management to an investing company, and we did it because our own returns depended on it.
