The PhD is almost over and I've been thinking about “What do I want?” When I committed to the PhD, I knew it was a lengthy commitment of time and hefty commitment of money. There are things we agree to in life and we know the long term commitment it will require! And now that the PhD finish line is in sight, I know it's project time again!!  I love a meaty project and I've identified what I want to do over the next 120 days. I want to redo my living spaces, WITH a budget in mind so it doesn't get crazy like it did last year with one project expense leading to another project expense.  Do you struggle with this too?  Up until I abdicated grocery store shopping and cooking, I hadn't really been on the list. I'd always put my family's needs before my own. If I wanted something, I'd think about the price, and I'd decide we could use the money towards something else the family needed. I'd also give them my time before using it for myself or business.  We took care of the kids' living spaces last year. Joey's plumbing got an upgrade which meant his bathrooms got an upgrade too. Then Abby's space basically got completely remodeled, but honestly her life was demanding it. And now I feel like we have finished launching them.  And then I got to looking around my living space. And I am choosing to use available time and money for myself and Greg, I'm on the list again.  My Wish List on a Budget When Grayson came along, Greg and I started sleeping in separate rooms so I could help with the baby. And we like it, so, we are keeping it that way. Remember, use your home for your current phase of life! I want to cement Greg and I into the empty nest/grandparent phase. In my room, I look around and see all hand me down things.  I've dreamed of what this space could be and here's what I came up with. I'd like to have a household manager command center, an office space dedicated to running our house!  I'd like to bring up all my Sunday Baskets® and binders upstairs and put them all in one bookshelf for easy access. And new bedding that makes me feel like a girl.  I want to rearrange the room to be able to open the curtains and make room for said bookshelf. And I want more light in this room for projects and scrapbooking. I'd like as much upstairs as possible because if I want to get anything done I have to hide from Grayson. He loves to play with me and I love to play with him but, but…I like to get projects done too! My dreaming didn't stop there…   Rezoning in the Woodruff Household I've decided the room between Greg and I, which used to be the nursery and then a guest room,  should be reimagined into a gift wrapping room. On a previous episode, I suggested HDX shelving with a long counter top to be used as a gift wrapping station. I have not stopped thinking about that and I finally will have time to make this transition happen. I'm no longer using the kitchen as our home office so I'll move those resources upstairs. I'd like to make communal items more easily available to Abby on the first level like band aids and things, maybe in the laundry room. I just need to go through the laundry room period now that Abby has her own and I'm doing all of this reimagining and functionality of our living spaces.  Speaking of the laundry room, there's more project supplies that I will move upstairs that aren't for Grayson and I. Gifts for Grayson will go up because he knows the laundry room is my hiding place. AND, all in one washer dryer upgrade. It arrives tomorrow!!  I can't believe I hit the purchase button. I did the cost analysis and it's not good but boy is my lil heart excited! We got to talking about it in the small business mastermind and everyone encouraged me to get it saying how much they loved theirs. Also I'm keeping the dryer so I can get two loads done at once. So that justifies the cost a little too.  I wanted to get Abby her own washer dryer so I could get mine back. In the process of sharing my washer door would get stuck and then it started to stink! Now the washer smells despite my efforts to correct it. It annoys me! So it's on it's way! And Lastly, I think I'll clean out the closet downstairs. Most of it will end up in my household manager command center and then Abby can get more storage. I hope you'll join me for planning day to get your next projects planned for your next 120 days!

A collision repair business property in Floresville could get rezoned after all, but not at the request of the business owner. The Floresville City Council denied the owner's original request in February, amid “confusion” related to the business, and other considerations regarding city ordinances. According to Councilman Donald Scee, Ten/28 Collision Repair & Refinishing — located at 1124 D St. — should have been zoned as commercial back in 2020, when owner John Hinojosa first opened the business; this was a mistake on the part of the city, he said.

The Hidden Opportunity of Property “Rezoning” Making This Investor Wealthy

BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

Is property “rezoning” the trick to making much more money in real estate? Our guest is using zoning laws to his favor by finding areas with hidden potential but NO space left to build. He then changes the zoning, builds new homes, and sells them FAST (and often over-asking price) to the local buyers waiting in line for inventory to arrive. You can do it, too, but you'll need some beginner information before you start. Since 2016, Stuart Udis has been building homes in areas most investors overlook. The average investor sees an area with growing demand but realizes that they can't build a home because a piece of land may NOT allow residential units, so they give up. Stuart instead gets both the city AND the local residents on his side, having all parties favor a zoning change, helping him be the only investor to build on that once-overlooked piece of land. So how do YOU do this, too? In this episode, Stuart walks through how he finds hidden opportunities in often-overlooked neighborhoods, the groups you'll have to meet with before you try to change the zoning, and the types of units he's building that give him the highest return on his money. In This Episode We Cover: Why “rezoning” property might be one of the most overlooked investing strategies  The big cash flow mistake that Stuart made earlier on in his investing career  The #1 reason you must look into school districts BEFORE buying in an area  Getting approval for rezoning from the city and the neighbors you MUST get on your side  How to tell exactly what a buyer/renter will want BEFORE you rezone/build  And So Much More!

The developer, DJD Southeast Real Estate Holdings, LLC, seeks to build a 35,000 square-foot industrial machinery sales building on this 11.8-acre site. The request includes variances for reduced parking, and the elimination of berms, fencing, and sidewalks. The proposed plan also includes restrictions on various business types. The Cherokee County Planning Commission has recommended denial due to concerns about road access and community opposition, including a petition from a nearby subdivision. STORY 2:  Developer Leasing Vacant Buildings near Canton for Commercial Use Cherokee County has approved the rezoning of 0.29 acres at 3350 Marietta Highway from single-family residential to general commercial. This change allows for the leasing of two vacant buildings—previously the Biskit Barn restaurant and another commercial space—for new businesses. The Board of Commissioners also approved several variances, including reduced setbacks and buffer requirements, to bring the existing structures into compliance with county codes. The property, which includes a drive-thru parking lot, is set to be utilized for commercial purposes, as confirmed by the county documents. STORY 3:  Drive-Thru Flu Shots Available in Woodstock Oct. 1 The North Georgia Health District is offering drive-thru flu shots across several counties this October. Cherokee County will have its clinic on October 1, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Woodstock Health Center. Flu shots are free with most health plans; otherwise, the cost is $25 for a regular vaccine and $65 for a high-dose version for those 65 and older. The updated flu vaccine this season will be trivalent, covering three influenza strains, excluding the B/Yamagata lineage. High-dose vaccines contain more antigen and are recommended for seniors.

Davis emphasized that student and staff safety is a top priority and detailed the district's extensive security measures, including visitor camera systems, security film, and crisis response badges. Additional police will be present at schools, and school counselors will be available for support. Concerns about school safety can be reported anonymously through CCSD's Vector Alert system. Davis expressed confidence in the district's safety protocols and appreciation for the efforts of school staff and the community. STORY 5:   Holly Springs Named Safest City in Georgia Holly Springs has been ranked as Georgia's safest city by Safe Home, with the lowest violent crime rate in the state at 16 per 100,000 people, based on FBI crime data. Braselton and Euharlee follow with rates of 20 and 23, respectively. Additionally, Ball Ground was noted for having the second lowest property crime rate in Georgia, with 104 per 100,000 people.

STORY 7:  Cherokee Postpones Vote on Gas Station Rezoning Cherokee County commissioners have postponed a decision on a rezoning request for a gas station and retail store to Sept. 17. The request, from H. Michael Bray for Michael Wilson of Wilson Property Investments, seeks to rezone 4.085 acres from office and institutional to general commercial for a 6,400-square-foot convenience store with gas pumps and a 2,000-square-foot retail building. While some residents support the project, Commissioner Richard Weatherby requested more time to review property history. The Cherokee County Planning Commission had recommended denial.

We are at the last day of August for 2024, and there are 335 days until the next time we call the current month after that particular Roman emperor. Fans of adulation toward long-gone dictators shouldn't fret, though. There are 304 days until July 1, a factual statement that should also please Canadians. This is the final audio podcast of Charlottesville Community Engagement for this month, the sixth in an effort to make sure there's a chance for people to hear the people quoted in the stories. I'm Sean Tubbs, grateful for the listeners! In this edition: * Albemarle Supervisors agree to a tax rebate arrangement with Home Depot worth three quarters of a million dollars (written version coming Monday)* Albemarle Supervisors have also approved a rezoning for Granger property in Albemarle's southwest urban ring (learn more)* Traffic fatalities in Virginia are up while total number of crashes has slightly decreased (learn more) * Speed-camera enforcement to begin in October for Hydraulic Road school zones (learn more) * Transit partnership votes to transition to Regional Transit Authority (learn more)First shout-out: Charlottesville E-bike Lending Library In today's first Patreon-fueled shout-out: The rolling topography of the Charlottesville area keeps some people away from choosing cycling as an option to get around. Perhaps an e-bike is in order? That's where Charlottesville's eBike Lending Library comes in!  E-bikes are a great way to get around the community but there are many brands and styles to choose from. Because many e-bikes are sold online, it can be a challenge to try an e-bike before buying one.The Charlottesville E-bike Lending Library is a free, not-for-profit service working to expand access to e-bikes in the area. They have a small collection of e-bikes that they lend out to community members for up to a week, for free. You can experience your daily commute, go grocery shopping, or even bike your kids to school, and decide whether e-bikes are right for you. Check out this service at https://www.ebikelibrarycville.org!Behind the scenes note to anyone readingThis is a podcast only edition which usually means there is nothing original. This time around, though, there is one story that will go out in written form in Monday's edition of the regular newsletter. So if you really want to know more about Albemarle County's $750,000 tax rebate deal with the Home Depot, you can listen to a six minute story I produced yesterday to fill time for today's radio program that went out on WTJU. My professional history in journalism began in 1995 with an internship at WVTF Public Radio. I love producing in sound  and even in a long period of time where I produced very few audio stories (roughly 2007 to 2020) I still produced all of my print stories by going through recordings. So now I get to present information in both ways, and my production calendar has matured to be able to help me sort out what stage every single story is in. Today that means an advance audio version of a print story, something I don't expect to happen often.But who knows? If it's not on the spreadsheet, I'm not sure when I'll be able to really wonder. There's a lot to do, and I'm grateful to paid subscribers and other contributors who help me keep this business going. Is this part spoken in the podcast? Are there secrets and easter eggs? Is there room in this community for odd audio collage? Will I be brave enough to try something new? You'll just have to listen and find out! Second-shout: Gazpacho in the Garden at MorvenIn today's second subscriber-supported shout-out: The Morven Sustainability Lab invites you to celebrate the new semester on Friday, September 6 for the annual Gazpacho in the Garden event at 5 p.m. There will be a summer meal harvested from a garden that's all run by students at the University of Virginia. There will be family-friendly music, lawn games, and tours of the garden where you can learn something. There will be limited seating so do come prepared with picnic blankets and chairs. For ticket information, visit the appropriate page on EventBrite. Behind the scenes notes for #CCE-724AMuch of the music in the podcast comes from Wraki and that's another reason to listen! The bits in between the segments are odd concoctions I make. The opening music is from P.J. Sykes, as I commissioned him more than seventeen years ago for a podcast product that didn't work out. Until now! Thanks for listening or for reading to this point.

Show Notes: Robert Frost married  his high school girlfriend 10 days after graduating. After moving back to New York, Robert worked at a consulting company called A.T. Kearney. He was interested in business and thought consulting would be a good way to go while working towards becoming a CEO. However, three weeks in, he realized consulting wasn't for him. From Columbia University to Real Estate Robert worked with Kearney's Global Business Policy Council, which provided political advice to senior leaders in business and advised governments on business practices. He worked on projects advising countries on transitioning to free market economies. He also worked with Kearney on cultivating C suite level clients. After a few years, Robert  went to business school at Columbia University. At Columbia, he was attracted to investment banking and private investing. After pursuing more technical training, he worked at Bear Stearns in the real estate gaming and lodging group from ‘97 to 2000, but while he liked the work and people, he didn't like the lifestyle.  and later found a partner and started buying real estate. They bought and sold real estate in New York during the up market, but in 2006, they realized there was nothing to buy. They sold most of their property, found another partner, and started building affordable housing units in the Bronx, rezoned industrial real estate and built housing units.  President of the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation and Buying a Football Team Robert became the president of the Lucius Littauer foundation in 2011, which he helped streamline. Robert talks about how his business ventures are built on a foundation of unlocking processes. More recently, he has been involved in other projects, such as buying a third-division soccer team in Lisbon, Portugal, which had a beautiful old stadium but needed money to pay bills and become professional. They raised money from investors and bought the team from the club. They professionalized the organization, hiring a head of football, administration, scouting department, and investing in the beautiful stadium. They also invested in a hospitality suite to become a destination for Lisbon visitors. Robert talks about the experience of running a football team and the real estate component of the business play.  Harvard and the Jewish Community Robert shares a little about his background, his father, and his experience with the Jewish community. His father attended Harvard, joined the navy,  and later became the founding president of Harvard Hill. He talks about the culture at Harvard at that time, how it influenced his father, and how, both his father's and Robert's  role with the Littauer Foundation. Robert talks about the foundation's involvement with the Jewish community and how his father's legacy continues to influence the foundation's future, as it continues to support the Jewish community and provide funding for various programs and projects. The conversation turns to antisemitism, Robert and his father's experience at Harvard, and how the university's anti-Semitism efforts have evolved over time, with some factors being institutional and others being intentional. Rezoning in New York City Robert discusses the process of rezoning in New York City, which involves both formal and informal steps. In the formal process, a draft environmental impact statement is filed, which goes through a series of reviews and approvals by various constituencies, including community boards, borough presidents, city councils, and mayors. The informal process involves scoping of the study on the environmental impact and analyzing the community's needs, and attending numerous community board meetings.  He talks about the  areas they focused on and why, the transactions made, and putting together teams.  Building Affordable Housing The conversation turns to the importance of affordable housing, and Robert shares how they developed affordable housing. They have almost no tenants who make more than 60% of the average median income, and their rents are programmatically sized to accommodate 20-30% of people coming out of the homeless system. Robert notes that this industry has existed for a while, but it is now difficult to build true affordable housing due to inflation, land costs, and construction costs. Currently, the Affordable Housing Program is a leveraging of the federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program, which grants tax credits to not-for-profit entities to build affordable housing. However, this approach has led to increased costs for developers. New York City has provided supplemental financing through second and third mortgages and low interest rate grants, but these grants have not kept up with inflation in construction and land costs. He also talks about financing and regulatory issues. The Decision to Leave Consulting Robert explains why he did not like consulting and how his perspective on sales and selling has changed since his time at Kearney. His early experience with consulting led him to realize that he wanted to be in charge of his own business. He  initially thought he wanted to run a big organization but realized that he didn't like the level of responsibility over people's lives. He prefers running a small organization and having services provided by third parties, as he doesn't enjoy the human responsibility of running a big organization.  Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Robert recounts his experience at Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) before becoming president. He explains how his role involved budgeting and rolling up a corporate overhead budget for 10 different businesses. The board was not supportive, but from this experience,  Robert learned about dysfunctional dynamics. He emphasizes the importance of learning from mistakes and not allowing one person to dictate the dynamics. Despite the challenges, HSA had a successful financial year and renegotiated contracts with real-world implications. Robert's time at Harvard Student Agencies was central to his education and he uses lessons learned from his experiences to improve his career.

Key Takeaways:Tyler provides a process for determining if a value-add commercial real estate deal is good using price per square foot and cap rate calculations.Creative financing strategies like vendor financing may be possible but require careful consideration of costs and risks. When replacing roofs for triple net tenants, it's best to have reserves rather than expecting rent increases to directly offset costs.Choosing the first tenants for a new retail property requires understanding the existing and desired tenant mix for the location and demographic.Community engagement is important for successful rezoning approvals through understanding neighborhood needs and crafting an aligned project.AI can help with small contract changes if its implications are understood, but an attorney is still typically needed for major legal documents.

Update: Ed Augustus, the state's housing secretary, sent a letter to Milton town officials Wednesday morning saying the town failed to comply with the MBTA Communities Act, and as a result, the Healey administration will immediately stop sending "significant grant funding" to the town. Read the full letter here. Last week, residents of Milton voted down a plan that would have allowed for the development of more multifamily housing. The vote puts Milton at odds with the MBTA Communities Act -- a state law that aims to tackle the housing crisis by requiring communities with MBTA access to create new zoning plans allowing for higher density housing. Today, Boston Globe Housing Reporter Andrew Brinker joins The Common for a look at what happened in Milton, and what this community's response can tell us about the appetite for tackling the state's housing crisis.
