DHI

D.r. Horton, Inc.

A builder of single-family homes and rental communities, D.R. Horton is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States, selling houses across dozens of states and also developing residential lots through its Forestar unit and offering mortgages through DHI Mortgage. Founder Donald Ray Horton started the company in 1978 in Fort Worth, Texas, with a loan to build a single house, which he famously sold while it was still in the framing stage. The company's name simply comes from its founder's initials.
