We manage a Rental Portfolio valued at $800M, we are constructing over $600M of new Apartments and some Condos now, and are selling about $50M of our finished projects now.We buy only top projects in high urban demand in fill neighborhoods that are vetted by our team of professionals and banking partners for complete feasibility before starting.

There is a company out of Fairhope, AL (20 minutes outside of Mobile) called Urban Property that does property management.

Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

It builds character, yes, and makes you appreciate what you have, but it's not the only way to turn out a productive, responsible member of society."

I also took an urban development course in grad school and had to come up with pro formas and everything for a larger apartment building with first floor retail.
