Forget the headlines. The real story behind today's housing market is more complex than you think. Jay Byce, president of ResiBuilt, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to explain what's often misunderstood about housing today, drawing on economics, demographics and long-term planning rather than headline-driven narratives. Debunking Housing Myths Despite frequent media narratives, institutional investors are not driving up housing costs. Even the largest publicly traded single-family rental developers control only a sliver of the overall market. In fact, they represent well under 1% of the nation's roughly 18 million single-family rental homes. “They cannot affect the market in that way. It's nothing like a monopoly,” Byce said. “They're improving the houses that people are living in, and coming out of the downturn, they renovated homes that were in severe disrepair back in 2011 and 2012.” Affordability challenges follow a simple equation: supply and demand. After more than a decade of underbuilding, the U.S. is short an estimated 5 million homes. When demand consistently outpaces supply, prices rise. Byce also addressed another common misconception — that builders are driving prices higher out of greed. Home builders historically operate on thin margins, averaging roughly 8% to 10% net profit over decades. Public confusion often stems from conflating gross margins with net returns. Land prices, development costs, municipal fees and the cost of capital all weigh heavily on final home prices. Execution efficiency can help, but it cannot offset structural cost increases, particularly those imposed by lengthy entitlement processes and rising local government fees. The Rise of Build-to-Rent ResiBuilt's early focus on build-to-rent was not accidental. Byce explains that the firm began studying millennial housing behavior well before its 2018 launch and concluded that younger households were not rejecting homeownership outright — they were rejecting outdated housing products. Millennials moved from amenity-rich student housing into high-end multifamily communities, only to experience a sharp drop-off in quality when transitioning to traditional starter homes. As a result, many simply opted out. Build-to-rent fills that gap by offering new, finished homes that deliver modern features without the maintenance responsibilities of homeownership. Instead of a millennial-dominated renter base, early communities quickly filled with two core groups: millennials and “young empty nesters,” each accounting for roughly 40% of residents. For empty nesters, build-to-rent offers a lock-and-leave lifestyle without sacrificing space, privacy or the ability to remain in family-oriented environments. Byce points out that the overlap in expectations between renters and buyers is far greater than many assume. Renting and Buying: More Alike than Different As build-to-rent expanded nationally, some operators attempted to cut costs to lower rents. ResiBuilt took the opposite approach. Renters notice quality just as acutely as buyers. From stainless steel appliances to tile backsplashes and upgraded countertops, renters expect durable, high-quality finishes. The modest monthly savings achieved by cutting finishes rarely justify higher long-term maintenance and turnover costs. ResiBuilt has selectively expanded into for-sale housing, which now accounts for about 10% of its annual production. Byce describes the transition as seamless, noting that the company has always designed homes as if they were intended for ownership. “Think about cars, right? So you want to go and buy a car. What do you do? First, you choose the car you want to buy, right?” Byce said. “Then they give you the option. ‘Do you want to put a lot of money down and get a loan on this car, ‘or ‘Do you want to lease this car and just pay a monthly payment?' We kind of thought of it the same way. We want to give people what they expect to buy, but with an option to lease it.” The Long View of Housing Trends Investor appetite for build-to-rent has cooled over the past two years, driven by higher interest rates and strong returns in competing asset classes such as equities. That slowdown has made new deals harder to pencil, even as demand for rental homes remains strong. Still, ResiBuilt continues to plan years ahead. Homebuilding is not reactive and takes time to develop into fruition. Communities delivering in 2028, for example, are being entitled and purchased today. That long lead time creates risk when builders pull back simultaneously. As land purchases slow and fewer projects break ground, the industry may be setting the stage for an even tighter supply environment three years down the road that could push prices higher regardless of interest rate relief. What is the solution? A sharp correction in home prices would erode household wealth for millions of homeowners and risk triggering a broader recession that far outweighs the benefits. Instead, Byce points to a more sustainable path: price stability combined with wage growth and lower interest rates. Even modest improvements on both fronts could meaningfully improve affordability without destabilizing the market. What's Next for the Housing Industry Byce is cautiously optimistic about the near-term outlook. He expects lower rates to unlock pent-up demand and fuel a stronger-than-expected spring housing season. Longer term, he remains confident that 2027 and 2028 will be strong years for housing, driven by demographics and an ongoing supply shortage. Opportunities are increasingly emerging in secondary and tertiary markets, including fast-growing exurbs around Atlanta and metros such as Savannah, Ga., Greenville, S.C., Huntsville, Ala., and Asheville, N.C. These locations boast quality of life, schools and relative affordability that continue to attract buyers and renters alike.

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle a wide range of listener questions covering everything from business structures to retirement planning. They discuss the pitfalls of investing in movie production under Section 1801, explain why commuting expenses aren't tax-deductible even for long-distance work arrangements, and clarify the new 1099-NEC reporting thresholds and the upcoming 1099-DA requirements for digital assets. Barley and Eliot break down Section 179 vehicle deductions and the advantages of heavy SUVs over luxury vehicles, explain the reasonable wage requirements and distribution strategies for S corporations, and provide guidance on structuring spec house construction businesses to minimize employment taxes. They also cover mark-to-market elections for traders, the tax consequences of below-market rent to friends or family, and the complications of placing a personal residence in an LLC. Tune in for expert advice on these topics and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics:   "Any thoughts about investing in movie production for high-income earners?" - Section 1801 expires 2025, creates passive losses, not recommended for most. "I work for a local government agency in Cochise County, Arizona and live in Maricopa County, Arizona, approximately 215 miles apart. I commute in on Monday, stay in a hotel and leave on Thursday. I've been doing this every week since December of 2024. Is there a tax break deduction for this?" - No deduction available; this is considered commuting, not business travel. "Is the new 1099-NEC now starting after $2,500?" - Still $600 for 2025; increases to $2,000 in 2026 only. "Who needs to file this new 1099-DA digital asset form?" - Brokers must send to clients by February 15, 2026. "I'm a sole proprietor and would like to buy a BMW X7 to save the tax based on section 179. Is it covered?" - Yes, if over 6,000 pounds; 100% write-off available first year. "I'd like to know the proper ratio of distribution payments to salary within an S corporation." - One-third to 60% of net income is typical rule of thumb. "Can I pay myself quarterly out of my S corporation LLC?" - Yes, quarterly W-2 payments are acceptable and help avoid penalties. "What's the best way to structure a business to minimize taxes when building spec houses? I do the majority of the work on the houses, so it looks like a lot of profit on my labor, which is not good. I'm currently structured as a pass through LLC and purchase the house lots in a different LLC from my construction LLC." - Use S corporation for labor; sell land separately at capital gains rate. "Is it too late for a mark to market election for 2026?" - No, must file on 2025 return by April 15, 2026. "Is mark to market a good tax deduction?" - Only if trader status qualifies; creates ordinary losses on unrealized gains. "I'm renting to a friend for $300 a month. Fair market rent would be over $1,500. Any tax consequences?" - Deductions limited to income received; cannot create rental loss at all. "How can I have an LLC for my personal residence if the house is the residence of both my son and I as joint tenants?" - Possible but risks losing section 121 exclusion and homestead exemption.

Bacon might steal the opening, but the real feast here is a tour of where homebuilding is headed—and how to make smarter choices without spending more than you need. We dig into the surprising benefits of building smaller, then show how thoughtful design—10-foot ceilings, full-height storage, and slab-on-grade shop-plus-suite layouts—can turn compact footprints into flexible, livable homes that age with you.From there we move into resilience. Fortified roofs with better nails, sealed underlayments, and coastal-grade fasteners can cut insurance costs while boosting peace of mind. We compare high-performance panelized shells promising fire, wind, and seismic resistance, and talk honestly about what holds them back: price, manufacturing capacity, and permitting. On the flip side, modular and prefab homes promise speed, but hidden finish work, basic window packages, and transport wear can offset the savings. The smarter play today may be selectively adopting prefab components—like prebuilt dormers—where precision pays off most.Smart tech finally feels smart. AI room planners let you test paint, floors, and trim in seconds, saving time and mistakes. More importantly, a unified platform like Control4 can run devices from different brands through one brain, ditching a dozen apps for reliable routines. We even wade into emerging health sensors in the bathroom—why proactive insights could help, and when constant data might do more harm than good. Finally, we examine embedded insurance during closing: it's convenient and can surface coverage gaps early, but independent brokers still win on options, pricing, and bedside manner when claims happen.If you care about affordability, durability, and sanity, this conversation gives you a blueprint: design only what you'll use, invest in resilience that pays back, and make your tech work for you—not the other way around. If this helped you think differently about your next build or upgrade, subscribe, share with a friend who's planning a project, and leave a quick review so more homeowners can find it.

Together they take an honest look at “The Fallacy of Bigger and Better” — a candid conversation on ego, contentment, and what truly defines success in the building world.

Whether you're an emerging builder or seasoned pro, this episode offers rare insight into building a meaningful business without losing your purpose. From humility to mentorship, it's a thoughtful reminder that bigger isn't always better — and that contentment might just be the smartest business strategy of all.Huge thanks to our podcast sponsor today: Pella.

Creating Unity in a Divided World In this powerful and emotional episode, Chris and Melissa explore one of the most timely and important topics of our day — unity. The world feels more divided than ever, and yet, as Chris and Melissa remind us, the healing of that division starts at home. Drawing inspiration from past guests like Connor Boyack and Bubba Page, and from recent events in their faith community, Chris and Melissa discuss what it means to “save America at the dinner table.” They share how strong, connected, unified families raise strong, confident kids who bring peace and leadership into the world — and how that ripple of unity begins with the way we talk to each other at home. They also reflect on the late President Russell M. Nelson's message, “Peacemakers Needed,” and how we can apply it in our homes. From resisting anger and contention to learning the art of response over reaction, the episode dives deep into what real peace looks like in practice — even when it's hard. Chris and Melissa open up about their own marriage and parenting journey, from moments of frustration to raising kids who make their own decisions. They discuss what it means to love your children — and one another — through disagreement and imperfection, reminding listeners that there's no such thing as a perfect family, only families committed to growing together. With stories ranging from spiritual reflection to a fun nod to Bob Marley's “One Love,” this conversation is both sobering and hopeful. It's an invitation to look inward, lead your family with compassion, and become a peacemaker — one conversation, one dinner table, and one act of love at a time.
