POWER OF ATTORNEY
                               -----------------

      KNOW BY ALL THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints Tamra D. Browne the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in- fact to:

   1. prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
      behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
      "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
      necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling the
      undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by
      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
      or any rule or regulation of the SEC;

   2. execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
      capacity as an officer,  trustee and/or stockholder of Starwood Waypoint
      Residential Trust (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with
      Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
      thereunder, and any other forms or reports the undersigned may be required
      to file in connection with the undersigned's ownership, acquisition or
      disposition of securities of the Company;

   3. do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that
      may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4
      or 5, or other form or report, and timely file such form or report with
      the SEC and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

   4. take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
      foregoing that, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
      to, in the best interest of, or legally required by the undersigned, it
      being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on
      behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in
      such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-
      fact may approve in his or her discretion.

   The undersigned hereby grants to such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or his or her
substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of
this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned
acknowledges that the foregoing attorneys-in- fact, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming any of the undersigned's
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

   This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact. This Power of Attorney may be filed with the SEC as
a confirming statement of the authority granted herein.

   This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from responsibility
for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under the Exchange Act,
including, without limitation, the reporting requirements under Section 16 of
the Exchange Act. Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of Attorney the
Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to timely and accurately
file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned, the Company does not
represent or warrant that it will be able to in all cases timely and accurately
file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned due to various factors and
the undersigned and the Company's need to rely on others for information,
including the undersigned and brokers of the undersigned.


                            [Signature page follows]


      IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 31st day of March, 2015.


                                              /s/ Charles D. Young
