In this exciting episode of The Real Estate Vibe Show, host Vinki Loomba sits down with seasoned fund manager Andy McMullen, a leader in the real estate investment field with over $750 million in transactions under his belt. Together, they dive deep into the emerging trend of "horizontal multifamily" or "built-to-rent" (BTR) communities, a unique investment strategy that blends single-family rental benefits with the community aspects of multifamily complexes.
Episode Highlights:
- Introduction to Built-to-Rent (BTR): Andy explains BTR communities—single-family homes or townhomes built specifically for rent rather than sale. BTR offers the feel of a suburban home combined with multifamily convenience, making it a growing trend as high mortgage rates push buyers toward renting.
- Market Shifts & BTR’s Popularity: From affordability and high mortgage rates to evolving lifestyle choices, Andy highlights how shifting market trends and the post-COVID appeal of more spacious, suburban-style rentals have driven the growth of BTR communities.
- Strategic Location Selection: Andy discusses why Legacy Acquisitions focuses on high-growth markets in the Southeast, where lower land costs, supportive municipalities, and faster build timelines make BTR an attractive option for investors.
- Development Process & Investor Phases: Andy breaks down the BTR development journey—from acquiring land and securing entitlements to horizontal and vertical construction phases. Each phase offers unique risk and return profiles for investors, giving them flexibility based on their investment goals.
- Future of Built-to-Rent & Real Estate Investment: With a shift toward sustainability, modular construction, and smart home technology, Andy predicts continued growth and innovation in the BTR space, with institutional capital increasingly attracted to its scalable potential and long-term viability.
