Buyside Analyst - Single family

Question: Does anyone have any insight into whether working at a single-family residential company is worth it as a buy-side analyst in their acquisition department? For example, Hudson Advisors has a single-family acquisition arm called Hudson Homes and Amherst Holdings has one as well called Main Street Renewal.

Background: Located in the South. Finance undergrad. 1-5 years working at a relatively small diversified CRE fund (AUM <$2B) where the deal flow has not been good the last few years.

Any advice would be appreciated :)

Curious as well.

Also would be interested to know what thoughts are on a (SFR) land development role with a top developer. Worth it to get your foot in the door? Are skills transferrable if you want to move back to the commercial side?
