Kennesaw, Ga.-based Kinloch Partners LLC sold 42 single-family homes located in Southwest Fulton County, North Clayton County and Dekalb County for $4.72 million to Jeff 1 LLC, an Austin-Texas based Main Street Renewal LLC and Amherst Holdings LLC owned company.

Kinloch Partners bought the homes in 2011 for an undisclosed sum.

Kinloch Partners co-founder Bruce McNeilage , who founded the real estate investment company with his elementary school playmate Christopher P. Zachary , said his strategy has been to provide young families homes to rent that they can hopefully go on to purchase.

“The consumer demographics indicated there was a significant need for rental homes in this area,” he said. “Now that we’ve upgraded so many homes and created stable rental situations, our homes are attractive to major national companies looking for rental opportunities.”

Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in July 2015 that Kinloch Partners would invest $10 million in existing single-family homes in Atlanta south of Interstate 20.

Kinloch Partners first entered the Atlanta market in August 2011.

Renting a houses is becoming increasingly popular, particularly due to factors like rising housing prices and the preference for the flexibility of renting over buying. This trend is driven by both individual choices and shifts in the housing market. Here's why renting houses is gaining traction: Rising Housing Costs: The cost of buying a home, including mortgage rates and property taxes, has become a significant barrier for many, leading them to consider renting as a more affordable option. Market Imbalance: In many areas, the demand for homes exceeds the supply, making it difficult and costly to find a suitable property. This imbalance can push more individuals into the rental market. Flexibility and Lifestyle: Renting offers more flexibility than buying, allowing individuals to move more easily for work, family, or other personal reasons. Renting can also provide a lifestyle that's less focused on long-term property ownership and maintenance. Shift in Preferences: A growing number of people, particularly younger generations, are prioritizing experiences and flexibility over the long-term commitment and financial burden of home ownership. Built-to-Rent Communities: Developers are building entire communities of single-family homes specifically for renters, further signaling the growing demand for this type of housing. Increased Inventory: The rental market has seen an increase in available properties, making it more attractive to renters who may have previously been hesitant due to limited options. Lower Maintenance Costs: Renters don't have to worry about maintenance, repairs, or property taxes, which can be significant expenses for homeowners. In conclusion, the factors mentioned above contribute to the increasing popularity of renting houses, especially in the context of a challenging housing market and evolving consumer preferences.
