Management evaluated Dallas Tanner’s track record and skillset against the following key factors for INVH:
- Executing the multi-channel acquisition plan for FFO growth.
- Defending against BTR supply to protect pricing power.
- Boosting new lease rates amid competitive supply.
- Controlling property tax hikes to protect earnings.

Question #1
When forced to choose between a compelling strategic growth opportunity and the unglamorous work of fixing core operational deficiencies, where does Tanner instinctively deploy his personal energy and the firm’s capital?
Question #2
As Tanner confronts a more competitive market with a tarnished brand, will he prioritize the difficult, long-term work of rebuilding operational integrity and trust, or will he revert to his playbook of aggressive monetization to meet short-term financial targets?
Question #3
Now that Tanner’s playbook of using opaque fees to “juice” revenue has been penalized by regulators, does he have the operational discipline to protect margins through legitimate cost controls and value-additive services, or will he seek new forms of financial engineering that risk future compliance and reputational damage?
