If I had a nickel for every time I've posted a pic of the empty Butler Street YMCA Building (1920) over the last 12 years since it closed, and someone cryptically commented "Stayed tuned! Good things are on the way for this building!" -- I would have *several nickels*

I'm just thankful it's still standing. I'm giving thanks for old buildings today. 🙏🦃

According the the Atlanta History Center:

"Architectural firm Hentz, Reid, and Adler designed the 10,000 square-foot space and Alexander D. Hamilton, a prominent Black builder, erected the edifice in 1920. The YMCA location provided the Black community in Downtown Atlanta with a place to congregate and enjoy amenities such as a swimming pool, restaurant, running track, lunch counter, game room, gymnasium, and dormitories. Notable former members of the Butler Street YMCA include Vernon Jordan, Jesse Hill Jr., Maynard Jackson, and Martin Luther King Jr. "

This is a very long and rambling post about our house-buying process in Alabama, so here's a cut for courtesy.

We are in the process of buying a house in Prattville, AL which is a suburb of Montgomery.

We flew into Atlanta on Saturday, rented a car, and drove to my parents' house, which is an hour from Montgomery. We spent all day Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday touring houses. I had no idea what to expect. Unlike when we bought our previous two houses, we didn't really have a favorite going into this process. We also had many more constraints and mismatched desires, as well. And the market is much more expensive. We also think that we might be in this house for many years, maybe forever. There was just so much pressure to make the right choice, but I didn't even really know what would be right for us. I *did* know we couldn't buy a historic home in Montgomery because Montgomery public schools are too dysfunctional and underfunded to accommodate our ASD kid. That left the suburbs, and we have never lived in a suburb before.

I've been having a low-key identity crisis about all this for a while because for 20 years I've defined my adult personality based on living in urban and walkable communities. I had to ask myself if I would be okay living in "the country" or in a new-build community with an HOA next to a strip mall. I asked myself why I had constructed my identity the way I had. What was wrong with living in a brand new house? Why couldn't I be okay in a small neighborhood 15 minutes outside of town? I'm still not sure I know the answers to these questions, especially the question of why I don't like brand new tract housing, but it became clear to me while we were touring all these houses that I absolutely needed to live in a neighborhood that is big and safe enough (by which I mean it has sidewalks) to walk for 45 minutes or run for 30 minutes. So that ruled out country houses. We saw a lot of nice and very expensive tract houses in giant new neighborhoods, and although these houses do not feel like they're *for me* that is honestly just a matter of not liking their vibes rather than any real reasoning of logic or consequence.

Dominic and I also had differing values and desires going into this house hunt. He wanted something newer and much bigger. He wanted a bonus room and four bedrooms. He wanted a big master suite with a big shower and big closets and lots of storage space. He had even gotten really close to building a new house, and we did a test build with builders and had a house, floor plan, and everything picked out. I wasn't super comfortable with this, which I know is crazy because it's such a big commitment, but I went along with it because it was difficult for me to articulate what *is* important to me. Dominic was just a lot more certain about what he wanted, and I trust him, so I decided to be okay with trying something new. But then at the last minute he decided he didn't want to build with this company in that specific location, and that's when we realized we were going to have to fly down here and house hunt.

We saw so many houses. Most of them looked the same. They were all expensive and nice. We looked at a lot of properties with pools because that was one thing we agreed was important to us. We also looked at a couple of rambling old ranches near the historic downtown. They were both intriguing but too much of a project, especially at their price points. We also looked at a newer house near downtown as well. The owner was there for that tour, and she talked about how cute downtown Prattville is (it's just an L-shaped strip, but it *is* very cute). She said there were a couple of nice parks nearby and her family was always walking all over the neighborhood and walking downtown for parades and festivals and even tubing in a nearby creek. I didn't like her house very much, but I loved the idea of living so close to the historic downtown area, and the neighborhood is big and mixed with newer and older homes. The landscaping is established with trees and bushes and grasses and flowers.

I was interested in this house based on the location, but Dominic didn't really care for the house, and it really was just okay. I didn't feel great about it or bad about it. It was just a house built in 2012 or so, and it looked like every other house we had looked at except slightly smaller. So I let the idea of living near downtown go, and we kept looking.

But the very last house we looked at was another 70s ranch in the same neighborhood. I was certain it would be weird or need a lot of work or be too small for Dominic. And then it was kind of perfect. It was updated enough with new paint, appliances, and granite countertops, had original hardwood floors, a formal sitting room with glass French doors, a living room with a fireplace, a dining room, an eat-in kitchen, four bedrooms, three full baths, and a pool in the backyard. It even had a built-in wet bar in the living room, a period detail which I found hilarious and charming. It was also priced dramatically lower than the other houses we had seen, and it was one hilly but walkable mile from the historic downtown, which is comparable to our house in Omaha.

To me, it immediately felt like home. Like, this was emotional logic, not rational logic. It was not Dominic's first choice, and not nearly as big and updated as he wanted, but he agreed to it, and now we're in the process of buying it. Of course, it could fall through, but our offer has been accepted and we've put earnest money down and have a closing date. And I genuinely love this house. I was not expecting to feel anything but acceptance about this move. To feel genuine excitement about the very last house we looked at is amazing. This 70s ranch would be nothing special to many people, but to me it's wonderful. I hope we're able to close on it in May, and I hope my family and I will be very happy there for many years.

Southern Comforts Lure Built-To-Rent Developers: The Sunbelt's Housing Revolution

Discover why the South is the epicenter of BTR construction and how developers are capitalizing on this trend.

The build-to-rent (BTR) phenomenon is reshaping the housing landscape, and its heart beats strongest in the Sunbelt. From Texas to Florida, developers are seizing the opportunity to create single-family rental communities that blend comfort, affordability, and lifestyle. Let's dive into the Southern comforts that are drawing both tenants and investors into this thriving market.

The BTR Surge

The National Association of Home Builders estimates that approximately 10% of new housing construction nationwide will be offered as BTR product. But it's in the South where the movement truly thrives. RealPage Analytics reports that over 113,000 BTR units were under construction in early November 2023, with a staggering 41% of them rising in the Southern states. Compare that to the Western U.S. (29%), the Midwest (13%), and the Northeast (2%), and it's clear: the South is where the action is.

What's Driving the Growth?

Several factors fuel the BTR surge. First, the high cost of single-family homes nudges renters toward more affordable options. Second, interest and mortgage rates play a role, making ownership less appealing. Third, the lack of savings among young families starting out pushes them toward rentals. But there's more to the story.

Population Migration Patterns

The South has been a magnet for population growth long before the pandemic. Job opportunities, warmer climates, and spacious living draw people in. Less-dense communities and outdoor amenities seal the deal. It's no surprise that the 9th annual Build-to-Rent Forum (East) chose Nashville—the capital of the New South—as its stage.

Meet the Players

Greystar’s Summerwell: Charleston-based Greystar entered the BTR sector with a bang. Their dedicated BTR brand, Summerwell, caters to renters seeking single-family lifestyles. Think yards, garages, and privacy, plus amenities like swimming pools, lazy rivers, and tennis courts. Summerwell communities dot the Sunbelt, from Texas to Florida.

Landmark Properties: Atlanta-headquartered Landmark broke ground on its first BTR developments last year. Their projects—like The Everstead at Conroe (Houston, Texas) and The Everstead at Madison (Huntsville, Alabama)—embrace the Southern spirit. Landmark knows what the South wants.

RangeWater Real Estate: With over $6.62 billion in total capitalization, Atlanta-based RangeWater is all about BTR. Their Storia brand graces more than 1,030 single-family and townhome units across the Sunbelt. Professionally managed communities? Check. Southern appeal? Absolutely.

The BeltLine Connection

RangeWater's conventional BTR and hybrid BTR/multifamily concepts have found a home along the Atlanta BeltLine. It's where innovation meets Southern hospitality, and renters find their slice of comfort.

The Sunbelt's BTR revolution is in full swing. Whether you're an investor eyeing returns or a tenant seeking a lifestyle upgrade, the South beckons. Welcome home! 🏡🌞

There, you’ll find valuable insights, information, and resources about BTR townhome communities. Whether you’re an investor, a potential tenant, or simply curious, this resource will provide you with a wealth of knowledge! 🏡🔑 www.kaufmanrealestateandconsulting.com

Invest in property

Last year's housing market was clearly one for the record books, with the gains partly driven by tightening stocks and exceptionally low mortgage rates. In some pockets of the country, housing prices climbed well over 10 percent on average. But, it's not only the big coastal cities which are seeing enormous growth. A survey from GoBankingRates demonstrated that many cities with the most growth proved inland, including: Buffalo, New York (34.6percent ), Atlanta, Georgia (24.54%), and Cincinnati, Ohio (20.6percent ). Bearing this in mind, you could be wondering in the event that you should throw your hat in the ring and invest in real estate -- or, in case you're too late. You might also be asking yourself if you should invest in property in a traditional sense -- as in, becoming a landlord. Now, here is the fantastic news. Not only is currently still a great time to invest in real estate since longer growth is probably on its way, but there are also more ways than ever to invest in housing without dealing with tenants or the other minutiae of landlord perform . Here are some of the best choices at this time: An exchange-traded finance, also called an ETF, is a set of stocks or bonds in a single fund. ETFs are similar to index funds and mutual funds from the fact they come with the exact same broad diversification and low prices over all. If you are angling to invest in real estate but also want to diversify, investing in a real-estate themed ETF may be a smart move. Vanguard's VNQ, for instance, is a property ETF that invests in stocks issued by real estate investment trusts (REITs) that buy office buildings, hotels, and other kinds of property. IYR is another real estate ETF that works similarly since it offers targeted access to domestic property stocks and REITs. There are loads of other ETFs offering exposure to real estate, too, so be sure to do your research and consider the options. A colleague of mine, Taylor Schulte of Define Financial in San Diego, says he swears by a real estate mutual fund known as DFREX. Why? Since its low expenses and track document help him feel confident about future yields. Besides low prices, Schulte says the strategy of DFREX is backed by decades of academic study from Nobel Prize winning economists. TIREX is another property mutual fund to consider with $1.9 billion in assets, broad diversification among real estate holdings, and low prices. #3: Invest in REITs Consumers invest in REITs to precisely the exact same reason they invest in property ETFs and mutual funds; they would like to invest in property without holding physical land. REITs let you do precisely that although also diversifying your holdings dependent on the type of property class each REIT invests in. Financial advisor Chris Ball of BuildFinancialMuscle.com advised me he personally invests in REITs for its diversification and for its"non-correlation" with other types of equities. He says that he likes the long-term data regardless of the typical mood swings and downs and ups of the real estate marketplace. "Additionally, it gives me exposure to property without having to be a landlord," he says. Ball also says a lot of his clients agree with that place and invest in REITs as part of the portfolio as a result. With that being said, I typically suggest customers stay away from non-traded REITs and purchase just publicly-traded REITs instead. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lately came outside to warn against non-traded REITs, imagining their lack of liquidity, high prices, and too little value transparency produce undue risk. #4: Invest at a property focused company There are a number of businesses that own and manage property without working as a REIT. The difference is, you'll need to dig to find them and they can pay a lower dividend than a REIT. Firms who are actual estate-focused can include resorts, resort operators, timeshare businesses, and commercial property developers, for instance. Be certain that you conduct due diligence before you buy stock in individual businesses, but this alternative may be great one if you need exposure to a particular kind of real estate investment and have time to research historical data, company background, and other details. #5: Invest in house construction If you look at real estate market expansion throughout the last ten years or longer, it's simple to observe that much of it is the end result of limited housing stock. Because of this, many predict that construction of new homes will continue to flourish during the next few decades or more. In that sense, it's easy to see why investing in the building side of this sector could also be smart. An whole industry of home builders need to come up with new neighborhoods and rehabilitate old ones, after all, so today might be a good time to buy in. Massive homebuilders to watch comprise LGI Homes (LGIH), Lennar (LEN), D.R. Horton (DHI), and Pulte Homes (PHM), however there are lots of other people to discover by yourself. #6: Hire a home manager Despite the fact that you do not have to purchase physical property to invest in property, there is at least one strategy that could allow you to have your cake and eat it, too. Many investors who want exposure to leasing property they could view and touch go right ahead and purchase leases but hire a property manager to perform all the heavy lifting. While he tried to manage his properties from a distance at firsthe ultimately chose to use a property manager to save his sanity and his gains. While he forks over 8-10% of gross rent to his manager, it was "one of the best decisions he's ever made" as a real estate agent, he says. "They take care of the rental property basics - minor repairs, vetting prospective tenants, collecting rents - so that I can concentrate on my career, family, and locating the upcoming lucrative rental property investment," notes Huffman. In that sense, he receives the benefits of being a landlord with the hard work. "Among the most crucial roles a home manager plays is that they work as a buffer between the renter and me," says Huffman. "I don't receive random texts, calls, or even emails from tenants in all hours of the night or day." The key to making sure this approach works is ensuring that you only invest in properties with enough cash flow to pay for a property manager and still score a substantial speed of return. #7: Invest in real estate notes Property notes are a sort of investment you are able to buy if you're interested in investing in real estate but don't necessarily wish to manage a brick-and-mortar construction. When you are investing in real estate notes through a bank, you're typically buying debt at costs that are well below what a retail dealer would pay. I've invested in property notes in the past via an individual investor I know who buys and renovates property. Thus far, my experiences have only been positive. However, I would conduct due diligence to be sure you know what you are getting into whether you invest into real estate notes using a bank or a property investor who is actively pursuing new possessions. #8: Hard money loans If you do not like any of those other ideas on this list but have cash to lend, you could also consider giving a hard money loan. My friend Jim Wang of WalletHacks.com says he's now investing in real estate with this strategy because he wants exposure but doesn't wish to cope with being a landlord. In addition, he says the ROI (return on investment) because of his time wouldn't be as great as other chances because his time is valuable. Hard money loans are essentially a direct loan into a real estate investor, '' he states. Wang offers property loans to an investor he understands in person, and he receives a 12% return on his money as a result. Wang says he feels comfortable with the set-up since the investor is someone he knows, but he isn't convinced he'd be comfortable with a stranger. In any event, hard money loans directly to real estate investors are another strategy to consider if you would like to invest in property but do not wish to manage a property and the frustrations that come with it. Last but not least, don't forget about all the new companies which have cropped up to help investors become involved in property without getting their hands dirty. Sites like Fundrise and Realty Mogul allow you to invest into commercial leasing or flipping houses and get money flow distributions in return. Investing with either business is similar to investing in REITs because your money is pooled with money from other investors that take advantage of the platform. The money you invest can be used to purchase residential property, commercial property, apartment buildings, and more. Ultimately, you receive the advantage of distributions and dividends and long-term appreciation of those properties that you"own." While neither company has been around for too long, they're doing well so far. Fundrise returned a mean of 11.4% on invested dollars in 2017 net of charges and 9.11 percent in 2018 after all, and you don't have to be an accredited investor to open an account.

How to Choose Fence Contractors and Fencing Companies

Fences atlanta

When you're installing a brand new wood or iorn fence in your property, choosing the ideal fencing contractor is virtually as important as picking the fencing itself. It may be tempting to select the first company which you find in the telephone book or through an Internet search, but you'll have better results if you choose a more methodical approach. Below are six key suggestions on evaluating fencing businesses and picking the ideal professional for your project.

fence contractor atlanta

1. Start looking for fencing pros. You may undoutedly encounter lots of general contractors that state that they can install your weapon. While this may technically be accurate, you will likely get much better results if you work with someone who focuses on fence installation. These fencing contractors will be bettter able to notify you of all your choices, whether you want to have an iron fence to get a pool or backyard privacy fence. They'll also have the ability to address problems should they arise. A specialist fencing organization is also more likely to understand any relevant local regulations or codes regardng fencing installation.

2. Get several choices. Any valid fencing contractor will be happy to see your house and provide an estimate for your work which you would like done. Be careful about any firm that's willing to give you a quote over the phone. Instead, schedule a couple of in-person consultations with distinct fence builders and get estimates in writing so you can compare afterwards.

3. After you've identified one or two fence builders that you might want to utilize, you ought to check their referencs. The business may be able to put you in touch with satisified clients, but it's also advisable to check with neutral organizations such as the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints about the business. You'll also need to make certain that the company has an actual physical place of business (rather than working out of a home or garage). At length, learn how long the organization has been in operation.

4. Ask about insurance and licenses. Virtually anyone - no matter how inexperienced - can call themselves a fencing contractor. To avoid problems, make sure the contractor you hire is properly licensed and fully insured. While it may seem you'll find a better deal by picking a less reliable fencing provider, you could end up paying for it later because of a bad installation or an undependable, unlicensed contractor that disappears without finishing the job.

5. Find out who'll be performing the job. Some fencing companies will hire sub-contractors to do the fencing installment. However, you are probably going to have a more satisfactory experience with an organization which has its own trained employees. Not only will these employees likely be more skilled and reliable, but communication are also simpler.

6. Receive a contract. Always make sure that you have a written, signed contract before you begin working with a fencing business. The contract must have a description of the job being done in addition to information about payments and when the project will be completed. Be leery of any fencing contractors that ask for full payment up front; 30 to 50 percent is fair, with the balance due following the fencing setup is complete.

Here are just a few of the things that you should consider when choosing your pool builder to build the pool of your dreams. 

Reputation in the Community

One of the most important things that you want to look for is companies with a positive reputation within your local community. If there are other friends or neighbors that have had pools installed, you should look to them to get information on the companies that they used, both good and bad. You need to know what they did well, what they didn’t, and if you’re going to have the experience that you want if you hire them. Looking to friends and neighbors for their recommendations is a good place to start when choosing a pool builder for your home. 

Transparency in Communication

Often, you can learn a lot about a pool company when you speak to them for the first time on the phone. First impressions can tell you many things, and you want to get the feeling that they are open and honest in their communication. A company that is pushy or unwilling to give you the information that you’re requesting might not be the best fit, while one that takes time to answer your questions and talk you through how the process will work could end up being the perfect company for you to work with. 

There are other things that you want to consider when researching  pool builders in Atlanta, like the timeline of when the work will get done and the materials that they’ll use to complete it. Ultimately, you have to be happy with your decision and feel like you’re getting the best value for your money.
