Borrower Success Story – Creating a New Construction Home & Building Community in Stockbridge, Georgia

Meet the Investor: Background and Ambitions of a Real Estate Professional

I am a full-time real estate developer and part-time real estate agent. My two children and wife keep me busy when I'm not working on new projects.

What Drives Your Passion for Real Estate Investment?

I’m a creator and I love the process of creating a quality and unique home from the ground up. I truly enjoy the process of building or renovating a home. 

Not only does it allow me to create a living for my family, but it also allows me to pass down wealth to my children. The end result is great, but experiencing the journey, the ups and downs, makes real estate investing an exciting career.

The Journey to Finding a Profitable Real Estate Deal

I found my deal through the MLS.

Addressing Challenges in Real Estate Ventures

When it comes to real estate ventures, one of the biggest challenges is making sure you budget for the unexpected. We had a contingency set aside for any unexpected repairs or expenses so we wouldn't have to scramble to figure out a way to pay for any issues.

Project Highlights: Celebrating the Most Rewarding Aspects of this New Construction Deal

The most rewarding part of the project was doing the final walk through of the home with my family. My favorite part of this deal was the buyer’s reaction once they closed on the home. When the buyer is happy with the quality and character of the home, it's always a great feeling.

Reflecting on the Real Estate Experience and Future Improvements

For my next deal, I will make sure I build relationships with the neighbors. I believe that building relationships with the neighbors lets them know that you care about the neighborhood. 

This current project showed me how excited neighbors are for new builds in their community, but they also want to feel like they are part of it. The neighbors for this project were very helpful to us, so we want to make it a priority to always build relationships within the communities that we develop.
