In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Neal Bawa, founder and CEO of Grocapitus and a nationally recognized leader in data-driven real estate investing. Known as the “Mad Scientist of Multifamily,” Neal brings a tech-forward approach to real estate, combining sharp market analysis with a clear-eyed view of risk, strategy, and opportunity. Neal shares how he went from running a tech company in Silicon Valley to building a $660 million real estate portfolio. He breaks down the importance of data modeling, boots-on-the-ground research, and why emotional detachment is critical for success. In 2009, his in-depth analysis revealed a unique opportunity to purchase distressed properties in Madera, California, long before others recognized the potential upside. By pairing his insights with real-world hustle, he secured cash-flowing assets in a down market. The conversation covers more than just the past. Neal outlines today's market challenges and where he sees opportunities. He explains how rising interest rates, oversupply in Class A markets, and flawed assumptions about cash flow have changed the investment landscape. Through it all, his emphasis remains the same: use data to identify market timing, stay ahead of headlines, and act strategically. Jonathan and Neal also dig into why townhomes have become the most efficient build-to-rent option, how Neal's team sources land with minimal upfront capital, and why absorption rates—not just occupancy—are the key metric to watch in multifamily. For new and seasoned investors alike, this episode is a masterclass in seeing opportunity where others see risk. In this episode, you will hear: How Neal used data and timing to succeed during the 2009 downturn The importance of combining tech with in-person market validation Tactics for spotting mispriced Class A properties using rent roll analysis Absorption trends as a better indicator than occupancy rates Townhomes as an efficient and scalable build-to-rent solution Land acquisition techniques that limit upfront capital exposure Frameworks for building scalable, data-informed investing systems Market shifts that signal rent growth recovery on the horizon Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Many business, when sold or there has been some other change in control, will advertise: UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. These signs are posted to attact attention and in many cases this is to imply that the NEW MANAGMENT will be great and anything related to the old management is done and gone. What is certain is that changes are coming and as a rule, most of us humans, don't like change. If this is related to your residence in a Townhome Community, Condominium, Apartments or even the Owners Association Management Company for a Planned Urban Developement (PUD) things are getting a shake up. Time to discuss and present some of the ways this could impact you, your family and your lifestyle. Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for April 2nd Publish Date: April 2nd Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, April 2nd and Happy Birthday to Marvin Gaye ***BIRTHDAY – MARVIN GAYE*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb Tables Proposed 24-Townhome Development Federal judge sides with Georgia in 'water wars' with Alabama Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival is April 26 All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 1: Cobb Tables Proposed 24-Townhome Development The Cobb County Planning Commission delayed a decision on a proposed 24-townhome development at 2318 Powder Springs Road until May 6, citing concerns over stormwater management, parking, and road design. The applicant, Fort & Cole Street, plans two-story, craftsman-style homes with garages and a homeowners association. Cobb DOT raised issues with driveway spacing and private alley design, while the fire department questioned emergency vehicle access. A Cobb Schools representative opposed the project due to potential enrollment impacts at Osborne High. The commission seeks further input from the stormwater division before proceeding. STORY 2: Federal judge sides with Georgia in 'water wars' with Alabama Georgia secured another victory in its "water wars" as a federal judge upheld the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' 2021 decision to allocate more water from Lake Allatoona to meet metro Atlanta and Bartow County's needs. Alabama had challenged the decision, claiming it over-allocated water to Georgia, but the court found negligible impacts on Alabama's water needs. This ruling brings clarity after decades of litigation. Georgia also won a similar case against Florida in 2021 regarding water use from the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. STORY 3: Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival is April 26 The Cobb PARKS Spring Arts Festival will take place on April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Jim R. Miller Park in Marietta. Featuring over 100 artisans, the event offers handmade goods, live music, aerial acts, and art demonstrations like glass-blowing and ceramics. Kids can enjoy the Kidz Korner, interactive crafts, and street entertainment. Attendees can also create art at the Splatter Paint Studio and other interactive booths. Admission and parking are free. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. Break: INGLES 3 STORY 4: Georgia Bird Fest Returns for 2025 The 10th annual Georgia Bird Fest runs from April 11 to May 16, featuring over 40 events statewide, including canoe trips, birding weekends, and workshops. Highlights include the Georgia Bird Fest Summit on April 25-26 at Jekyll Island, with field trips and a keynote by acclaimed naturalist Janisse Ray. Proceeds support Birds Georgia's conservation and education efforts. Registration is open at birdsgeorgia.org. STORY 5: Three Cobb Students Named STAR Student Region Winners Cobb Water celebrated Fat Tuesday with a community parade through the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility, offering hour-long tours to educate participants on wastewater treatment and the impact of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) on sewer systems. Interactive games at various stations highlighted treatment processes, including a poop emoji toss to demonstrate FOG blockages. The event concluded with a fun photo op in a giant paper mâché toilet. Break: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 6: Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities at Cobb County Water System The Cobb County Water System in Marietta announced several volunteer opportunities. Activities include Rain Garden Work Days (various dates in April and May), water quality monitoring workshops (April 23 and May 15), waterway cleanups (April 24 and May 3), and community outreach events like storm drain marking (April 12 and May 8). Volunteers can help with gardening, stream monitoring, litter cleanup, and public education. Training and tools are provided for most events. For details, contact water_rsvp@cobbcounty.org or visit www.cobbstreams.org. STORY 7: State Super Names 44 Cobb Schools 'Math Leaders' Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods honored 44 Cobb County schools as “Math Leaders” for their significant gains or success in standardized math tests. Schools received banners with ribbons for growth, proficiency, or distinction, with Cobb earning one of the highest percentages of top honors statewide. Ford Elementary also received recognition as a Military Flagship School for supporting military families. Woods emphasized the importance of math alongside literacy, with plans to expand awards to science and social studies next year. Cobb Superintendent Chris Ragsdale praised the district's focus on comprehensive student success.

David Sidoni breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions in homebuying—whether condos and townhomes are a bad investment. With affordability getting tighter, first-time buyers need to know why condos and townhomes can be smart stepping stones that help build wealth instead of throwing money away on rent. Is buying a condo or townhome a bad idea? Many first-time homebuyers believe they must buy a house to build wealth—but that myth is costing buyers hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this episode, David revisits this hot topic with new insights for 2024-2025 and explains how a rent replacement strategy can turn a condo or townhome into your first step toward long-term financial success.Quote:"There's tons of condo haters out there. But with the right guidance in an appreciating market—especially as things get more unaffordable—sometimes, using a rent replacement strategy to buy a condo means you can afford a home later and be hundreds of thousands of dollars ahead." – David SidoniHighlights:What's the real difference between a condo, townhome, and single-family home?Why do so many people wrongly assume condos aren't a good investment?The unexpected costs of owning a house that condos can help you avoid.How HOA fees actually replace major homeownership expenses.The “rent replacement strategy” – how to use a condo to fast-track your dream home.How a past guest turned a $197K condo into an $80K profit to buy her dream home.What buyers NEED to check before purchasing a condo or townhome.Referenced Episodes:Episode 238 – “The Sexy Episode” (A real buyer's success story with a condo purchase)Episode 154 – Important details about condo financing & HOA complexitiesConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

Donna takes the opportunity of Eric being MIA to interview her two youngest sons. They both live in Denver, CO, have similar interests and likes/dislikes but they live strikingly different lifestyles. Who got to Denver first? Which one is married? Who rents and who owns? So much to break down in this lively 3 way discussion. And...both are regular contributors to this podcast as Adam composed and recorded our opening music and Caleb provides the "riveting" opening segment to our every episode. So much to talk about and so much talent. Oh, and Eric was laying in a hospital bed for half the month and was in no condition to record (heck breathing was work). Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate.

The Board of Commissioners approved a resolution for this, seeking a November 2025 ballot inclusion. The proposed HOST would allocate 75% of proceeds to reduce property taxes and 25% for capital projects, primarily roads. A 10-year sunset clause is suggested, allowing voters to decide on its continuation. The initiative aims to benefit both residents and visitors, with a quick implementation if approved.

Chris and Clif Poston, principals with Traton Homes, join host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, they discuss the growth of townhome development and what is available in the Atlanta market. What makes townhomes so appealing in today's home market? The demand for townhomes has increased as homebuyers desire smaller homes near community centers and local attractions. With home prices consistently rising, affordability is a driving force for buyers and the perk of landscaping and exterior maintenance being included in their monthly HOA fees is enticing. Clif Poston said, “We've got townhouses near a lot of different smaller municipalities, but I think it's a lifestyle allowing people to choose a smaller home and kind of giving up a little bit of space and maybe some yard space to be able to have accessibility to the local areas that they want to be in.” Traton Homes also utilizes amenities, such as dog parks, pools, cabanas and pickleball courts, to bring a sense of togetherness to the residents in its townhome communities. What is the demand for townhomes in comparison to single-family, detached homes? Townhomes are taking over the urban housing market because of higher development costs. People want to live close to dining, shopping, recreation and medical centers, but it is difficult to build affordable, single-family homes in the city. “The rising cost of development is because in the closer in areas, you're using somewhat of the leftover land, which drives higher development cost,” said Chris Poston. “So, there's not tracks of land available to go put nice, detached subdivisions in.” “A while ago, our slogan was changed to ‘Altogether More' and that encompasses altogether more of everything, value and design,” said Chris Poston. “So, I think we look at it as saying we're going to offer you a good price in an area, but we're also going to give you some of the key design features that maybe separate us and put us in a different spot.” Clif Poston emphasized that many home shoppers don't have different expectations for townhome residences versus single-family homes, except for square footage. Many are still looking for open-concept floor plans, great kitchens and large owner's suites, which are typical in both townhomes and single-family homes. “I don't know if people really change with what they want,” said Clif Poston. “I think that people just can kind of reframe and adjust their expectations as the product gets a little bit smaller and those spaces get a little bit more confined.” Tune in to the full interview above to learn more about townhome communities in metro Atlanta.

One of the little discussed sectors of multifamily investing is townhomes. Townhomes are easier to build than large apartment complexes, and they have strong appeal to certain segments of renters. Townhomes appeal more to families and attract stable, higher income households. Tenants also tend to stay longer in townhomes than traditional apartments. Josh Green, Co-founder of Traverse Capital, has many years of multifamily development experience, and is developing his first ground up townhome community in Southern Utah. Josh loves the economics of townhomes and will continue to develop and acquire existing townhome communities.

Build-to-Rent (BTR) may be the biggest innovation in real estate this decade and NexMetro Communities is arguably the originator. Since 2010, NexMetro has been developing BTR projects, with over 55 projects across the U.S., offering cottage-style homes specifically designed for renters. Hartmann provides insight into BTR's growth, his unique business strategies, and the challenges in reshaping real estate for a new generation. Understanding Build-to-Rent Hartmann explains BTR as homes designed exclusively for rental, offering tenants a single-family home lifestyle without ownership. NexMetro's developments include a range of single-story cottages that foster a sense of privacy while delivering amenities typically found in multifamily units, such as gyms and pools. According to Hartmann, BTR appeals to people who value flexibility and quality without the commitment of home ownership, filling a gap in the housing market for those who prefer to rent but want more than an apartment. The Three Pillars of BTR Hartmann distinguishes three BTR categories: 1. Single-family homes for rent. 2. Townhomes purpose-built for renting. 3. Cottage-style multifamily units, NexMetro's specialty, blending the appeal of detached homes with the advantages of multifamily living. Timing Is Everything in Real Estate Real estate cycles are pivotal to innovation and profitability. As Miller points out, real estate evolves through “waves,” such as the mall boom in the 1970s or the single-family rental trend in the 2010s. BTR is shaping up to be the next big wave, attracting increasing interest from renters and institutional investors. Consumer-Centric Development Understanding renters' needs has been crucial for NexMetro's success. For example, through consumer research, they've learned that amenities like clubhouses or dual bathroom sinks were less important than space efficiency. This consumer-first approach allows NexMetro to streamline costs while delivering a product that resonates with its target demographic. Challenges and Future Outlook Zoning and permitting obstacles are major hurdles. NexMetro often needs 18 months or more to secure zoning approvals, with success rates around 60%. Political and community factors complicate projects, especially as cities grapple with housing shortages and balancing growth. Hartmann remains optimistic about the future, especially with real estate facing declining supply due to high interest rates and reduced construction starts. This scarcity may benefit BTR, positioning NexMetro to meet rising rental demand in areas where traditional homeownership is out of reach or less desirable. — Have questions or feedback about this episode?

From the BG Ad Group Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Monday, September 9th, and I'm Keith Ippolito. Cobb Advances 46-Townhome Development The Cobb Planning Commission has advanced a 46-townhome development on C.H. James Parkway. Despite some opposition, the proposal moves to the Board of Commissioners for a final decision on September 17. Blue River Development, an Atlanta-based firm, aims to rezone a 6.25-acre vacant lot for this project. The homes will feature traditional and craftsman-style designs, each with a two-car garage. Attorney Kevin Moore, representing the developer, stated that the development is intended to boost local commercial activity. Commissioner Christine Lindstrom voiced concerns about the project's density, leading to a reduction in the number of units from 50 to 46. The site will offer pedestrian access to nearby retail spaces and connect to the Silver Comet Trail. Commissioner Michael Hughes supported the project, which passed with a 4-1 vote.

I invited Thomas Dougherty, or lead urban designer, back on the Podcast to discuss real life lessons behind several of our current projects at Building Culture. We discuss Townsend, a 1+ acre infill site with 19 townhomes, a couple live/works and 10,000 SF of boutique commercial, that we are nearing approvals on. We get into some really practical stuff we've learned, such as how we are parking it, dealing with trash, utilities, and balancing privacy with connection. We also discuss an 80-acre master plan we are working on and how we are taking a slightly different approach than many current TNDs. And of course, we bring it back to the human experience, and how we can serve people through building and architecture! If you are reading this, I'd greatly appreciate it if you took a moment to leave us a 5 star review! Enjoy. TAKEAWAYS Innerblock development creates human-scale spaces within blocks, allowing for the creation of vibrant and intimate urban environments. Centers and courtyards are essential elements of innerblock development, providing identifiable and delineated spaces for human interaction. Utilities and fire safety are important considerations in innerblock development, and creative solutions such as geothermal HVAC systems and land condos can address these challenges. Balancing public and private spaces is crucial in creating a cohesive and livable urban environment. Thoughtful design and attention to detail, such as trash management and parking solutions, can enhance the overall experience of innerblock development. Public spaces play a crucial role in fostering community and building relationships. Missing middle building types and diverse housing options are essential for creating inclusive and attainable communities. The design of a community should be responsive to the topography and natural surroundings. The layout of streets and the integration of nature can enhance the pedestrian experience and create a sense of place.
