When you live next to the water, every day feels like a vacation! From serene mornings on the water to gorgeous sunsets in the evening, there are many ways to indulge in the laid-back atmosphere of lake living. Dan Rogers, sales manager with Peachtree Residential, sits down with Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss Peachtree Residential's newest lakeside communities: White Post on Lanier and Arden on Lanier. Convenience is Key For many homebuyers, convenience is a deciding factor when purchasing a new residence. Rogers explains that Lake Lanier used to be “kind of out there,” but as the surrounding land has developed, homes along its shores are just minutes from grocery stores, restaurants and recreation. The quietness of life on the lake attracts prospective buyers of all backgrounds, including retirees and “empty nesters” shopping for their dream homes and families. Peachtree Residential is committed to providing accessible living options for residents of all backgrounds. Many homes feature a primary suite on the main level, or homeowners can choose a plan with an upstairs suite for added comfort and privacy. Rogers said, “We also have several plans that have the primary [suite] and another bedroom on the main floor, which has been hugely popular, certainly with empty nesters, but with growing families as well.” White Post on Lanier White Post on Lanier, located just under one-half mile from Port Royale Marina, is a dream come true for homebuyers looking to add boating or lake views to their daily routines. Residents enjoy dedicated boat slips at the community marina, each deeded to their selected homesites. Rogers said, “It's a deep-water boat dock within the Port Royal Marina no-wake zone.” This community features 15 homesites with 11 inventory home opportunities. Ready to unlock your dream home at the lake? The first three homes at White Post on Lanier are set for completion this summer. Prospective buyers can snatch up those homesites or build from Peachtree Residential's existing floorplan collections for a personalized fit. “The nice thing about a home that's underway is there are less surprises,” said Rogers. “Obviously, the advantage of choosing a lot and doing a pre-sale is you get to make every decision.” Homesites range from 3,500 square feet to three-quarters of an acre, providing abundant green space that can easily transform into a backyard pool! To maximize living space, most homes include a basement, 10-foot ceilings and a three-car garage perfect for boat storage. Arden on Lanier Also nestled along Lake Lanier, in Cumming, Arden on Lanier offers high-class living and cozy amenities. Residents have exclusive access to walking trails, a fire pit and nearby lake entry points via Tidwell Park. Beautiful interiors await in each home, showcasing spacious bedroom suites, kitchens with islands and a scenic, wooded view in the backyard. Rogers said, “Outdoor living is also something we've been adding to homes, with covered porches, fireplaces, screen porches and all those things for people who want to live close to the lake and have outdoor living right behind their house as well.” Tune in to the full episode to learn about lake living and where to find it with Peachtree Residential. Home shoppers can schedule a tour of these communities with Rogers every day, excluding Thursdays and Fridays.

Morgan Stanley Research analyst Mark Schmidt and Investment Management's Craig Brandon discuss the heightened uncertainty in the U.S. municipal bonds market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.For a full list of episode disclosures click here.----- Transcript -----Mark Schmidt: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mark Schmidt, Morgan Stanley's Head of Municipal Strategy.Craig Brandon: I'm Craig Brandon, Co-Director of Municipal Investments at Morgan Stanley Investment Management.Mark Schmidt: Today, let's talk about the biggest market you hardly ever hear about – municipal bonds, a $4 trillion asset class.It's Monday, May 5th at 10am in Boston.Mark Schmidt: If you've driven, flown, gone to school or turned on a tap, chances are munis made it happen. Although munis are late cycle haven, they were not immune to the latest bout of market volatility. Craig, why was April so tough?Craig Brandon: So, what we say in April, it was sort of the trifecta of things that happened that were a little different than other asset classes. The first thing that happened is we saw a significant increase in treasury rates – and munis are generally correlated to treasuries. We're a very high-quality asset class, that's viewed as a duration asset class. So, one thing we saw were rates going up. When we see rates going up, you generally see money coming out of the market, right? So, I think investors were a little bit impacted by the higher rates, the correlation to treasuries, the duration, and saw some flows out of the market.Secondly, what we saw is conversation about the tax exemption in Washington D.C. What that did is it caused muni issuers to pull their issuance forward. So, if you're an infrastructure issuer, you are issuing bonds in the next year to year and a half; you're going to pull that forward because if there's any risk of loss of the tax exemption, you want to get these bonds issued today. So that's basically what drives technicals. It's supply and demand. So, what we saw was a decrease in demand because of higher rates; an increase in supply because of issuance being pulled forward.And the third part of the trifecta we refer to is the conversations about the economy. So, I would put that, it's sort of a distant third, but there's still conversations about maybe credit weakness driven by a slowing economy.Mark Schmidt: Craig, your team has been through a lot of tough market cycles. Given your experience, how did the most recent selloff compare? And why was it not like 2008?Craig Brandon: I started my career back in 1998 during the long-term capital management crisis. I lived through 2008. I lived through the COVID crisis, and you know, really when I look at the crisis in 2008 – no banks went out of business three weeks ago, right? In 2008 we were really sitting on a trading desk wondering where this was going to end.You know, we had a number of meetings with our staff, over the last couple weeks explaining to them why it was different and how. Yes, there was some volatility here, but you could see that there was going to be an end to this, and this was not going to be a permanent restructuring of the market. So, I think we felt comfortable. It was very different than 2008 and it really felt different than COVID.Mark Schmidt: That's reassuring. But with economic growth set to slow sharply, how does your credit team think the fiscal health of America's state and local governments will hold up?Craig Brandon: Well, remember state and local governments, and when we're talking about munis, we're also talking about other infrastructure asset classes like water and sewer bonds. Like, you know, transportation, bonds, airports. We're talking about toll roads.They went into this with a very strong balance sheet, right? Remember, there was a lot of infrastructure money spent by the federal government during COVID to give issuers money to make it through COVID. There's still a lot of money on balance sheets. So, what we do is we're going into this crisis with a lot of cash on balance sheets, allowing issuers to be able to withstand some weakness in the economy and get through to the other side of this.Mark Schmidt: Not only do state and local governments have a lot of cash, but they're just not that impacted by tariffs, right? So why did muni yields perform worse than U.S. treasuries over the past couple of weeks?Craig Brandon: Right. It really… We're technically driven, right? The U.S. muni market is more retail driven than some other asset classes. Remember – investment grade corporates, treasury bonds, there's a lot of institutional buyers in those markets. In the municipal market, it's primarily retail driven.So, when you know, individual retail investors get nervous, they tend to pull money out of the market. So, what we saw was money coming out of the market. At the same time, we saw an individual increase in more bonds, which just led to very weak technicals, which when we see that it eventually reverses itself.Mark Schmidt: Now I almost buried the lede, right? Why invest in munis? Well, they're great credit quality, but they're also tax free. In fact, muni bonds have been exempt from federal taxes for over a century. You have a lot of experience putting together tax bills, and right now people are worried about tax reform. Do you think investors should be concerned?Craig Brandon: Listen. I'm not really losing a lot of sleep at night over the tax exemption. And I think there's other, you know, issues to worry about. Why do I say that?As you mentioned Mark, I spent the early years of my career working for the New York State Assembly Ways and Means Committee. I spent seven years negotiating budgets and what that did is it gave me a window – into how, you know, not only state budgets, but the federal budget gets put together.So, what it also showed me was the relationship between state and local elected officials and your representatives in Congress and your representatives in the Senate. So, I know firsthand that members of Congress and members of the Senate in Washington have very close relationships with members of the state legislatures, with governors, with mayors, with city council members, with school board members – who are all delivering the message that significantly higher financing costs that could potentially happen from the loss of the exemption, could be meaningful to them.And I think members of Congress and members of the Senate and Washington get it. They understand it because they were all there when it happened. The last time the muni exemption came under fire was back in 2012; and in 2012, a lot of members of Congress were in the state legislature back then, so they understand it.Mark Schmidt: That's reassuring because right now, tax equivalent yields in the muni market are 7 to 8 per cent. That's equal to or greater than the long run rate of return on the stock market. So, whether to invest in the muni market seems pretty straightforward. How to invest in the muni market? Well, with 50,000 issuers, that's a little complicated. How do you recommend investors get exposure to tax-free munis right now?Craig Brandon: Well, and that is a very common question. The muni market can be very confusing because there are just so many bonds out there. You know, over 50,000 issuers, there's over a million individual CUSIPs in the muni market.So as an individual investor, where do you start? There's different coupon structures, different call structures, different maturity structures, ratings. There's so many different variables that go into a decision in investing in muni bonds.I can make an argument that you could probably mimic the S&P 500 with 500 different stocks. But most muni indices are over 50,000 constituents. It's very difficult to replicate the muni market by yourself, which is why a lot of people, you know, they let professional money managers, do the investing for them. Whether you're looking at mutual funds, whether you're looking at separately managed accounts, whether you're looking at exchange traded fund ETFs, there's a lot of different ways to get exposure to the muni market. But with the huge amount of choices you have to make, I think a lot of individual investors would just let a professional with the experience do it.Mark Schmidt: And active managers let you customize portfolios to your unique tax situation and risk tolerance. So, Craig, a final question for you. How do munis fit into a diversified portfolio?Craig Brandon: Munis are generally the stable part of most people's portfolios. Remember, you don't have a choice of whether you're going to pay your taxes or not. You have to pay your taxes, you have to pay your water bill, you have to pay your power bill. You have to pay tolls on highways. You have to pay airport fees when you buy an airline ticket, right?It's not an option. So, because the revenue streams are so stable, you see most muni bonds rated AA or AAA. The default rate for rated munis is significantly below 1 per cent. It's something in the ballpark of about 0.2 per cent*. So, with such a low default rate – listen, we're technically driven, as I said. You see ups and downs in the market. But over a longer period of time, munis can give you generally stable returns, tax exempt income over the long term, and they're one of the more stable asset classes that you see in your overall portfolio.Mark Schmidt: That sounds boring, and I mean that in the best possible way. Craig, thanks so much for your time today.Craig Brandon: Thanks, Mark, happy to be hereMark Schmidt: And thank you for listening.

The returns referred to in the commentary are those of representative indices and are not meant to depict the performance of a specific investment.Risk ConsiderationsDiversification does not eliminate the risk of loss.There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline and that the value of portfolio shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Market values can change daily due to economic and other events (e.g., natural disasters, health crises, terrorism, conflicts, and social unrest) that affect markets, countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g., portfolio liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in a portfolio. Fixed-income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes. An imbalance in supply and demand in the municipal market may result in valuation uncertainties and greater volatility, less liquidity, widening credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in the market. There generally is limited public information about municipal issuers. Income from tax-exempt municipal obligations could be declared taxable because of changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the relevant taxing authority or the non-compliant conduct of the issuer of an obligation and may subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will work under all market conditions, and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market.A separately managed account may not be appropriate for all investors. Separate accounts managed according to the particular strategy may include securities that may not necessarily track the performance of a particular index.

For years advisors have been taught the importance of closing a  prospective client quickly – if possible, during the first meeting. On closer look advisors will have much more success if they slow down, take their time and give the client time to fully appreciate what the advisor has to offer. There has always been a dynamic tension for advisors between  taking the time to build trust in a new relationship and getting the client to sign on the dotted line. Especially when new clients seem scarce, advisors can feel a compelling need to get the new relationship started, even if it means offering a steep discount. In this fast-paced conversation, Ken and Scott explore how the thoughtful advisor can manage the first few meetings with a client to provide powerful experiences that build trust, reveal value and stimulate strong feelings of confidence. The program includes specific strategies that advisors can use to create meaningful experiences for clients in the first few meetings.

Support our work at https://thewpminute.com/supportGet the newsletter at https://thewpminute.com/subscribeThe web design industry is maturing. New projects used to be the lifeblood of freelancing, and companies spent money on feature-packed websites to establish themselves online. But those opportunities seem fewer and farther between these days.Don't get me wrong. New projects will continue to be a money-maker. But there are fewer gigs to go around and competition is fierce. Relying solely on this strategy is more challenging than ever.I've seen evidence of this in my business. Prospective clients are more likely to ask me about maintaining their existing WordPress site rather than building a new one.It's a disappointing development on one hand. Building a new site is the “fun” part of this business as opposed to the messiness of working with one built by someone else. Even dealing with a site you built years ago is no picnic.This shift could have some long-term benefits, though. It may be key to a freelance business that thrives into the future. Let's talk about why maintenance matters. ★ Support this podcast ★

Episode Summary In this inspiring episode, Zach Wells a TV sports anchor shares his incredible journey of receiving a kidney donation from his brother. Zach opens up about the unexpected news that his kidney was failing and the challenges he faced battling kidney disease, and the profound lessons he learned about hope, resilience, and the importance of prioritizing health. Tune in as Zach offers a raw and honest conversation about overcoming adversity and the power of family, health, and seizing the moment.     Episode Highlights Zach Wells was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2007 and experienced a gradual decline in kidney function before receiving a transplant in 2018. He recalls the moment he first learned something was wrong—his wife left him a message from a business trip, urging him to check his test results after his doctor raised concerns about his creatinine levels. Determined to manage his condition, Zach relied on diet, exercise, and medication but ultimately knew that a transplant was the best path forward. Before his diagnosis, Zach was a self-proclaimed workaholic, often neglecting his health in favor of his career. He later realized that without prioritizing his well-being, his time was limited. He reflects on the physical toll of kidney disease—the fatigue, nausea, and other symptoms—while balancing parenthood and work responsibilities. Throughout his journey, Zach found unwavering support from his wife, Caroline, and his family, which made all the difference. His brother turned out to be a perfect donor match, bringing renewed hope and gratitude. Zach discusses the emotional and physical impact of his illness, the dedication of his medical team, and the perspective he gained through this experience. Inspired by Zach's story, Andi sheds light on the kidney transplant crisis and the need for greater awareness about living donors. Prospective donors undergo rigorous screening, but their generosity can transform the lives of over 100,000 people currently on the transplant waitlist. When asked for advice to men facing kidney disease or dialysis, Zach encourages them to stay present, be patient, and stay committed to their medical care and fitness routines. He highlights the importance of hope, scientific advancements, and the skilled professionals who make transplants possible. Zach expresses deep gratitude for his transplant surgeon, doctors, and everyone who played a role in his recovery.   Key Takeaways Zach's journey with kidney disease began in 2007, leading to a transplant in 2018. His initial reluctance to seek medical care due to work commitments taught him a valuable lesson about balance and self-care. The support of his family, medical team, and a generous kidney donation from his brother gave him a second chance at life. He now finds joy in the little things and is committed to raising awareness about kidney disease and transplantation. Tweetable Quotes:   “So about managing the disease, doing everything I could to be as healthy as I could, drink as much water as I could, have the best diet that I possibly could, knowing that probably the chances of this reversing, the chances of this having a better outcome, were not going to be a very high so it's a long road.” - Zach Wells “I think transplants really reward the patient. They reward the dutiful, they reward the optimistic.” - Zach Wells “I was a workaholic. All I thought about was work. And I thought that I can't deal with this or go to the doctor, because that's going to interfere with my work schedule. But I learned very quickly that if I didn't get balance and prioritize this as another full-time job, that I wasn't going to be around very long.” - Zach Wells “I was not feeling well at all. I was run down. I had like, bags under my eyes. I would randomly sweat, I felt nauseous.” - Zach Wells “I think that that's one of the many areas where I've been so lucky, is just having an incredible support network of people that have really helped me. That's amazing.” - Zach Wells “What I want to do is, like, really draw attention to the fact that this is an incredibly solvable problem. Yes, like the people that are waiting, like, the waiting list is over 100,000.” - Zach Wells Resources: https://getoffthelist.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/about-us/ https://www.facebook.com/NetworkForHopeOPO https://www.youtube.com/@NetworkforHope. https://aopo.org/

Landlords offering incentives to entice tenants is said to be a simple supply and demand issue. Rental listings in Auckland and Wellington have seen investors offer free weeks of rent, or bonuses like supermarket vouchers and even free moped scooters for people who sign on to a lease. Residential Property Managers' Association Chair Tony Mitchell told Mike Hosking investors are fighting for tenants due to a lack of demand. He expects it to be only a temporary thing and hopes the strong underlying demand factors will make a difference soon. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the recent episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, Jay Conner joins Jerry Scarlato in the Good Wolf Project podcast where they delve into the nuances of raising private money—a strategy that can redefine your approach to real estate investments. Understanding the Difference: Hard Money vs. Private MoneyIn the world of real estate, financing options are plentiful but can often be confusing. Jay Conner explains a common misunderstanding between hard money and private money. Hard money typically comes from brokers who pool and lend funds from individual investors, charging high interest rates and fees. This traditional route involves jumping through numerous hoops, including credit checks and financial disclosures, which can be time-consuming.Conversely, private money is a more direct transaction, where a real estate investor borrows money from an individual, cutting out the middleman. Here, the investor sets the terms, interest rates, and payment schedules, providing a more flexible and tailored financing option. This approach eliminates the need for borrowing from traditional banks or hard money lenders, offering more autonomy and speed in closing deals.Navigating the Challenges with a Resilient MindsetReal estate investing is not without its hurdles. During the conversation, Jerry and Jay highlight the importance of resilience when facing financial setbacks. Jay shares his experience during the 2008 financial crisis when he unexpectedly lost his line of credit with a local bank. This pivotal moment pushed him towards private lending, leading to a successful reevaluation and expansion of his business model.The key to overcoming challenges is adopting a proactive mindset. Rather than seeing obstacles as insurmountable problems, Jay emphasizes responding constructively and connecting with the right people who can facilitate solutions. This mindset shift from "victim" to "victor" is essential for navigating the volatile waters of real estate investing.The Power of Community and MentorshipAnother critical element of success in real estate investing is surrounding oneself with like-minded individuals and mentors. Jerry and Jay underscore the transformative impact of joining mastermind groups and engaging in communities that foster collaboration and learning. Jay recounts how mastermind groups have expedited his success by providing access to a wealth of experience and insights from industry peers.Learning from seasoned investors and sharing experiences can significantly decrease the learning curve, preventing costly mistakes and leading to more informed decision-making. As Jay aptly puts it, "What got you here today will not get you there tomorrow."Building a Sustainable Strategy for Raising Private MoneyTo successfully raise private money, Jay advises a strategic approach focused on education and relationship-building. By teaching potential lenders about the benefits of private lending and offering them a secure and appealing investment opportunity, investors can attract capital without resorting to high-pressure sales tactics. He demonstrates the power of seamless communication and structured programs in cultivating a network of private lenders eager to invest.Prospective investors can start small by hosting informational luncheons or one-on-one meetings to share insights about private lending programs.

​The jury selection process for Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking trial commenced on November 16, 2021, in New York City. Prospective jurors underwent thorough questioning by U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan, who inquired about their personal backgrounds, media consumption habits, and any prior knowledge of the case to ensure impartiality. This meticulous process culminated on November 29, 2021, with the selection of twelve jurors and six alternates from a pool of 40 to 60 candidates.Subsequently, concerns arose regarding the accuracy of responses provided by a seated juror on the jury questionnaire form, leading to discussions about the potential implications for the trial's outcome.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Edition No103 | 27-02-2025 - “President Trump is making his own play to become Don of the Donbas”, write Jonathan Sweet and Mark Toth in The Hill. And the prize is not a collection of smashed cities and broken logistics and trail of ruined lives, but access to what is estimated to be more than $5.75 trillion in rare earth minerals.Ukraine has now tentatively agreed to seal a rare earth mineral deal with the White House, on terms far more favourable, and less punitive, than those discussed last week. This is no longer a contract but more of a statement of intent, and more in the character of an agreement for mutual enrichment of partners, rather than a rapacious imperialistic agreement, where all the power and control rested with the US as an external force. According to the Financial Times, the agreement will establish a reconstruction fund for Ukraine. 50 percent of the profits will go toward repaying the U.S. contribution to the war effort. But the agreement does not contain any explicit agreements for security arrangements and contains no guarantees of future weapons supplies and support. Clarifying this will be critical to getting it approved and ratified first by the Ukrainian cabinet of ministers, and the by the parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. However, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said, “This agreement is directly tied to security guarantees. Neither the President of Ukraine nor the Ukrainian government will consider or sign this agreement separately from Ukraine's security guarantee.”But “Trump's global approach to defending democracy is radically different from past administrations.” Explain Mark and Jon. “It is becoming transactional — a “what's-in-it-for-me” foreign policy. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/5165142-trump-competes-putin-rare-earth-minerals/----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN 10 Events in 10 months - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Staying curious is one of the top skills a sales professional must have in order to succeed in this industry. But why is it so important? My guest, Denise Murtha Bachmann, a sales coach and founder of the Sellovatorz programs, is here to tell you about it in this episode. She's going to share how to flawlessly conduct a discovery call and get to the root cause of a problem to help close a deal. Meet Denise Murtha Bachmann Denise Murtha Bachmann is a sales strategist, coach, and fractional sales leader who helps businesses humanize their sales approach while leveraging AI for smarter selling. With a deep focus on relationships, curiosity, and uncovering the probable root cause, she empowers sales teams and founders to build predictable pipelines and close more deals with authenticity.  Through her Sellovatorz programs Denise is redefining modern sales by balancing cutting-edge technology with the human touch buyers demand. Take a Step Back and Slow Down Most sellers try to rush through the sales process to hurry up and close the deal. However, Denise shares that it's better to slow down and ask prospects questions to learn their root problem. Prospective buyers know they have a problem and want a solution to it. But if sellers take the time to help them identify the root cause of the problem, prospects will realize that money isn't a problem when it comes to fixing it. When you give them the ability to see that you're trying to solve the bigger problem, you build a connection with them, which builds trust and credibility with your clients. Working together will help them see that you care about them and make them want to continue through the sales process. Prepare Yourself Before The Call Denise shares that before you jump on a call with a client, you should take the time to educate yourself about them. Here are some things you can do before your discovery call: Have your discovery questions ready. Decide on the difference between a good call and a great call. Understand the client you're looking at: What is their problem and buyer persona? You can use AI tools to help you study your client better. Sales Process Role-Playing Denise and I do some sales role-playing of a startup company competing for the SMB space against HubSpot.  I act as the founder, and she guides me through the process by asking questions to help me understand my root problem and how I can compete in this competitive industry. For sales leaders, Denise shares the biggest takeaway to help you determine the root cause for prospects: Lead with a mindset that you have to slow down to speed up. Let go of the metrics and focus on quality over quantity to meet sales goals. "I think that as leaders and sales representatives, we're constantly on the go because we have metrics to meet.  However, in today's sales environment, we need to let go of those metrics and focus on quality over quantity." - Denise Murtha Bachmann.  Resources Get in touch with Denise on LinkedIn  Sellovatorz Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.
