Kinloch Partners boosts residential holdings in metro Atlanta

56371718 Kinloch Partners LLC will invest $10 million in existing single-family homes in Atlanta south of Interstate 20.

The news comes one day after Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) announced it plans to sell 1,300 houses in Atlanta. While a large sell-off often signals a coming drop in home values as the market is flooded with supply, Kinloch Partners co-founder Bruce McNeilage predicts there is still pent-up demand from first- and second-time buyers.

“Blackstone’s announcement yesterday is good news for individual home buyers,” McNeilage said. “Inventory has been tight for some time and the increased availability of homes will provide some excellent shopping opportunities for Atlanta residents.”

McNeilage also predicted other large institutional investors will jettison their residential real estate portfolios in the coming weeks. But, Kinloch said the time to buy is when other investors are selling in a panic.

“There is often a herd mentality among institutional real estate investors, so we anticipate other large institutional investors will dump their Atlanta portfolios and possibly their portfolios in other Southeastern markets,” McNeilage said.

Kinloch Partners first entered the Atlanta market in August 2011 and has invested nearly $10 million here to date. In 2014, Kinloch Partners announced plans to acquire lots in 14 additional subdivisions in metro Atlanta, on which single family homes will be built this year.

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.
