- Public record
MetLife, through Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is the lender on a single-family rental financing of up to $153,792,324 recorded against homes in Tarrant and Collin counties on Oct. 30, 2026. The borrower of record is McLean SFR Investment LLC, a rental-home investor whose operating brand the filings do not name. For builders and agents, it shows institutional lenders financing suburban rental homes across two counties.
Why it matters
A nine-figure loan secured by suburban rental houses is documented here in two counties on the same day. The Tarrant deed of trust covers a lot in the Woods of Timberlake subdivision in Arlington. A matching Collin County deed of trust, with the same borrower and lender, lists lots in Anna and Princeton, two suburban markets north of Dallas.

That pattern points to a rental portfolio financed as a package rather than a single-asset loan. The recorded papers do not say how much of the total is allocated to each property, so the $153.8M figure should be read as a ceiling for the whole facility, not the value of the Arlington lot.

What’s next
A deed of trust of this size is typically followed by releases and partial releases as properties are sold or refinanced, and those would show which homes sit inside the facility. We will watch the Tarrant and Collin clerk indexes for additional filings by the same borrower, and for any assignment of the loan.
