OneRent, the end-to-end residential rental and property management service, today announced the close of its $4M Series A round of funding from Renren, Inc., a leading investor of early-stage startups that have proven to be disruptors in their respective spaces. Since its January 2016 launch, OneRent has significantly expanded its portfolio, now managing properties for more than 500 real estate investors and property owners with buildings from 1 to 50 units. With more than $500M worth of properties under management, OneRent is on track to have one of the fastest growing portfolios in the residential management industry.

The financing will support the company's expansion into several new high-volume markets in 2016, and will be used for talent acquisition. OneRent plans to offer its services geared to long-term renters in the following cities:

Los Angeles: Santa Monica, Hollywood, Venice, and Marina del Rey
San Diego
Portland
Sacramento
Washington, DC
Boston
