Charlotte, NC

Each city has its own pros and cons. For Charlotte, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. First of all, Charlotte’s location is the primary attraction for many newcomers. The city is very accessible via commute because of the numerous bus lines and the top-notch high speed rail system. It is also a few hours from the mountains or beach, which means you can easily go on a quick vacation should you decide to spend a family weekend in these areas. On the negative side, traffic congestion, limited ethnic diversity, and history of hurricanes are some of the downsides of living in Charlotte. But if you can live with these issues, the city has so much potential for growth which can support your future.

Carowinds Amusement Park

Carowinds is North Carolina’s premier entertainment destination. It features more than 60 world-class rides, a top-notch waterpark, and family friendly live entertainment. The amusement park is housed in more than 400 acres of land. For more than 49 years, it has received millions of visitors from all over the world. While the park is open all year round, it is best to visit during Halloween and Christmas season where it features the famous SCarowinds and the WinterFest. The thrilling rides and the cool arcade games will keep you entertained the whole day. But since it is a very popular tourist attraction in the state, expect long lines in each of the rides.

Charlotte Ranks High for Affordable Student Housing

Despite the plummeting rise in the rent, Charlotte remains to be in good standing when it comes to student housing affordability. The Queen City remains to be on the top 10 most affordable cities for college renters where one student reported saving $100 a month on rent after transferring to the city. With Charlotte apartments becoming more popular these days, renters may have limited options as the demand is increasing. But in order to get the best deal, make sure to search the different neighborhood and set your criteria when it comes to apartment hunting. Your budget, accessibility of the apartment, and amenities are just some of the factors that you should consider.

Girl. THANK YOU, thank you so much for creating the Better series! I am IN LOVE. I’m crying, I love your writing so much! I wanted to ask if it would be possible to request a one shot? I was thinking one where Charlotte gets really sick, and Lip dotes on her and takes care of her, and is really domestic? If not, that’s okay! Just wanted to let you know that I love your writing!

Note: I could bore y'all with the explanation about all the stuff I was doing...but I'll just offer the promise to do better now. Thank you so much for this, I received one other one from an anon similar to this. I'm so glad you enjoy my writing, to be honest these messages mean so much, I really appreciate y'all's investment, creativity and thinking about what you'd like to see from the characters. It's a little long and all over the place and angsty but I'm getting back in the swing. I love and appreciate you all for reading. I think I'm gonna keep doing one shots for a little as I get back into the swing of characters and then get back to the fics but there are chapters in the works. Let me know what you think <3

Warnings: Mentions of illness (some from research, some from personal experience); strong language

Better: Sick Fic

Lip adjusts his backpack on his shoulder as he digs his house keys out of his pocket. He grunts irritably as the keys slip between his fingers and tumble to his feet, head falling backward as he works up the strength to bend down and pick them up.

It’d been a long day. A really…really fuckin’ long day. He’d arrived at the office with 13 messages waiting for him and two programs he’d developed sent back down the line for absolute bullshit reasons. Then, he’d received a call from the lobby, letting him know that there was a piss soaked drunk man making a fucking spectacle out front, demanding to see his son, Lip, who works there. After encouraging the security to take Frank out back and beat him within an inch of his life, Lip hoped to settle into his office during lunch, eat the food his wife made him, and talk dirty to her on the phone to hold him over until he could go home.

None of that happened. Because his coworkers are fucking incompetent. And his boss is weirdly becoming obsessed with saying he was his protege or something and forcing him to take on tasks that have absolutely fucking nothing to do with his work. And the cherry on top, Charlotte didn’t pick up the phone. 

He’d called once, twice, three times, growing more and more worried with each dial tone and message of Hi, this is Charlotte Gallagher… Lip was already picking up his bag and logging off of his work computer when he received a vague text that lowered the nervous burning in his stomach to a strong simmer. Can’t talk, see you when you get home.

It makes the blond man feel slightly better that she responded, but this short, curt text left Lip other questions. Charlotte always wants to talk on the phone. Why was she not answering his calls? Is she mad at him? Hurt? Busy? No, not busy. They’re never too busy to answer each other’s calls. 

As he shoves the door to their townhome open his wide blue eyes scan the room for his wife. Lip haphazardly dumps his bag on the floor, stepping over his spilled belongings, making a mental note to come back and pick it up before Charlotte has to leave for work later. He expects to hear the quick clicking of her slippers shuffling across the floor to meet him. Even when she’s angry she always welcomes him home in one way or another. Either greeting him with bright eyes and a kiss or furrowed brows and crossed arms. But still, always there. Not this time. 

“Bunny, m’home.” He calls into the void, pausing to listen for a response of some sort of scoff, or high pitched harumph to start whatever rant she was about to ream him with. But nothing. No sound. No doors slamming. No sniffles born of fat, angry tears cried out of frustration because he’d fucked up in some way he’d already forgotten. Silence. 

Something Charlotte does know is that Lip doesn’t do well with being ignored. Call it abandonment issues, or narcissism, not being acknowledged triggers the fuck out of Lip. If…if this was some attempt at the silent treatment he doesn’t fuckin’ like it. His jaw clenches as he kicks off his shoes and starts to storm around the lower level of the home looking for her. “Charlotte.”

“Charlotte.” He pushes the downstairs bathroom door open, checking the kitchen and out back before heading up the steps. “Charlotte, c’mon, seriously?” 

He huffs as he turns the corner, his feet sinking into the cheap carpet on their hallway floors, rounding into their shared bedroom. The door is slightly ajar and all Lip can do is ponder why his wife would set herself up in their room and wait for him ominously like some kind of supervillain. That’s until he found her lying on the floor, still only wearing the ratty navy blue t-shirt from his cafeteria job and a pair of his boxers. Her brows furrow as he enters the room, but she remains unmoving on the floor as Lip moves closer, crouching next to her.

“Babe,” the blond starts, moving his hand to smoothe one of her fallen rollers from her forehead only to recoil away. “Jesus, Charlotte, what the fuck? You’re burning up!” He presses his hand down more aggressively this time, moving from her forehead to her neck, nudging her head out of his way with his knuckle.

Charlotte grunts and yawns, large brown eyes glassy as they flutter open to meet his blue ones that are storming with worry. “Bubba, you’re home…and you’re loud.” she pouts.

“What the fuck?” He whispers under his breath again, moving to sit fully on the floor as he inspects her closer. “You sick, Bunny?”

His wife just shifts, sitting up to move between his legs and lean her back against his back, trying to hide her face as she winces in pain with each movement, forcing cheer into her voice. “Phillip, m’fine, just sleepy.” She tries to reach behind his head and run her fingers through the soft hairs at the nape of her neck, and Lip shakes his head in distrust, catching her wrist when she can’t bite back the gasp from the sharp ache in her joints.

Echoes of Charlotte’s father’s voice fill Lip’s head. Do you know that she suffers from chronic pain. That she has sickle cell. Do you know that? Are you ready for that?  Is…should he be doing something? Calling someone? Fiona? She’s always taking care of him when he was sick. Maybe. Maybe her…maybe V? 

He fumbles in his pocket for his phone, only to realize he’d left it downstairs. He eyes the woman between his legs, feeling her body making stifled jerks, her teeth quietly chattering behind her closed lips. His beautiful girl’s normally vibrant, pink and brown lips muted versions of themselves. Dry. Dehydrated? 

“Let’s get you off the floor.” He murmurs, either to himself or to Charlotte, it was hard to tell. Lip is cautious as he hoists her into his arms, eyes locked on her as he carries her over to the bed, and lays her down. “Do you…um, what do you…did you eat?”

“M’not hungry.” she sighs, settling into the pillows, snuggling under the blankets, leading Lip to question if he should pull it off. She’s too hot. Isn’t she too hot?

“Okay, I’m gonna be right back. I’ll be right back, okay, Bunny?”

“Okay.” Charlotte hums weakly, eyes fluttering shut again before Lip can even make it out of the room. His chest clenches as he jogs down the steps, brain moving at rapid speed. He immediately digs through his discarded bag for his phone, pulling it out and dialing his older sister’s number.

“Come on, Fiona. Come the fuck on.” His teeth grind as he paces, once, twice across the living room floor before deciding to balance the still ringing phone between his ear and shoulder as he grabs ice from the fridge. He ignores the pins and needles in his hands as he shovels the cubes into a ziplock bag. Each ring of the phone before the dial tone hits pisses him off until he hears the voicemail prompt Fiona, you know what to do…except no the actual fuck he doesn’t. And thank you for absolutely nothing Fiona, and suddenly his phone is under the couch and its battery is somewhere against the wall because somebody might have thrown it. 

“Baby, here.” Lip mumbles as he pads back into the room, sitting on the edge of the bed, worry growing as he notices that in the two minutes he’d been downstairs she’d already been back to sleep. He tries to push the baggy full of ice that he’d wrapped in a paper towel on her forehead, only for her to groan and push it away. 

“No, wait, Phillip-”

“Bunny, you have a fever, we need to cool it down.” He sighs, trying to push it forward again.

Charlotte holds his hand away, scooting further on the bed and wincing in pain again. “No, Phillip, it’s gonna make the pain worse. With what I have,  I can’t be cold, okay? No ice.” Her eyes soften as she watches him pull back, tossing the ice on the dresser.

Make the pain worse. Lip can't breathe. “Okay. Okay, so what can I do to help you?” 

“Maybe breathe, just a little bit. And tell the vein in your neck to chill out before it bursts. And..and you’re doing that thing you do. You know, when you’re upset, so you start annunciating each letter of each word you say. S’weird, bub.” She giggles through her chills and chattering teeth. “I’m fine, Bubba. Just come cuddle with me, I’ll warm up.”

“Charlotte.” Lip isn’t amused. His wife is sick and it’s not funny. He’d…distantly known, one day he’d be faced with Charlotte experiencing discomfort in some function. Her father’s words about her illnesses had yet to be confirmed by her so he’d assumed eventually they’d been a ploy to scare him into trying to send her back to her parents. But now, she was sitting before him, looking beautiful as ever, but sick. She looks weak. And all he can think is how he’d missed it. This morning, how slowly she’d moved, how she’d fallen back asleep when he showered. The lack of texts and calls. Were her eyes that glassy then? Was she in pain like this all day?

And so Lip decided he was the worst husband ever. It’s not the first time he’d come to that conclusion, but this time he really felt it. He should’ve rushed home. Hell he should’ve stayed home. He had all night to berate himself. Charlotte had almost immediately fallen asleep after he’d climbed into bed with her. Her hand that’d been rubbing slow circles on his chests halted and got heavier. 

So, Lip got to work. He slid out from underneath her, and snuck downstairs to grab his work laptop. Ideally, his source for symptoms for sickle cell crises would be a doctor, or someone else who’d actually had an idea of what they were doing, but google would have to do for now. He’d turned the screen light down and carried the laptop upstairs. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lip sat up all night, rotating between reading horrific facts and worse-case scenarios and sticking his finger under his wife’s nose to make sure she was breathing. His eyes burned as he would take breaks from reading to stare at her, watching the rise and fall of her chest, feeling the paranoia fill his own.

“Uh, thanks, V.” Lip places the machine onto the counter before pulling his wife’s cousin into a hug. “Sorry you didn’t get to say hi, she’s uh..really tired lately.” 

Charlotte’s not getting better. 

No matter what Lip does, she won’t just fucking get better. For three days, he played her game. At least a little. He agreed not to involve anyone else. He went to the pharmacy and bought her tylenol for the pain and the headaches. He wrapped her in heating pads and his arms, staring down at her with pools of worry. He let her sleep as much as she wanted. On the condition that he could watch to make sure she woke up. 

She’d tell him over and over she was fine, and that this feeling would pass. She refused to call it what it was and tried to carry on with business as usual. But Lip’s not stupid. Charlotte’s either going into crisis or already in it. 

He hasn’t been to work in 3 days. 

He hasn’t showered alone in 3 days.

He hasn’t slept more than an hour at a time in 3 days. 

The first and only time he’d left the house was to get the medicine and heating pads. The first person he’d spoken to aside from Charlotte had been V. 

Fiona had called from some fucking detention center. Something about a mix up and a boyfriend was what the voicemail said. Lip had sent her a text to go fuck herself before blocking her number. That was day 2. That day, Charlotte had tried to hide from Lip as she cried in pain in their bed while he brought her lunch. He didn’t have time for the bullshit. And at 4:00am leading into day 3, she’d tried to sneak and go to the bathroom by herself, and got so dizzy she fell back on the bed, alerting her husband. 

That’s when Lip tried to call her parents. 

“Don’t call them!”

“Charlotte, you’re sick! We have to call your parents.”

“I’m fine!”

“You’re sick, I don’t know how to fucking help you, I’m calling them, okay? Jesus, fucking-Bunny, Bun…Charlotte you have to stop crying, you’re gonna make your chest tight.”

It was too late. So they had to compromise.

Lip called V. V brought Charlotte’s nebulizer, kissed her forehead and left. It was an older one. A big clunky machine, with tubes and plugs. Different liquids that need to be poured into it at different measurements. All of this shit just to help the love of his life breathe normally. To get her lungs to work at their full capacity. Lip swallows the lump in his throat as he puts the mask around her pretty face, watching as liquid medicine turns to fog for her to breathe in.  The sound of the machine fills the room as Charlotte falls asleep again, and Lip goes downstairs.

He scrubs his hands down his face before going to the kitchen to start making her a grilled cheese to eat when she wakes back up and the doorbell rings. Lip assumed V had forgotten something during her brief visit. He wasn’t expecting for his fuck up sister to have the audacity to be standing at his doorstep. “Yeah, fuck that, get the fuck out of here.” he sneers, turning and pushing the door to close behind him, only for her to catch it with her foot.

“Lip, why didn’t you tell me Charlotte’s sick?” Fiona’s lip curls as she takes in his disheveled form, his hair and clothes eskew and stained, very similar to the state of the kitchen and living room. “This place is a mess.”

“You know, I’m not sure why you’re still here.” The blond snatches a red notebook off the couch, producing a pen from behind his ear and scribbling in it. “What time is it?”

“I’m here to help,” She picks two plastic bags off of the floor and folds them in on each other. “Clearly you need it-”

“Fuck you. The time? Can’t find my goddamn watch-”

“9:36. Why?”

Lip huffs, running a hand through his uncombed hair. “Why are you here? Like you said, my wife’s sick, and none of the drugs she’s taking can get you high so, you’ll have to take your bender elsewhere-”

“Okay, fuck you, because if you’d un-fucking block me you’d know that was a mixup and I’m completely clean. I’m gonna ignore the fact that you’re being a complete asshole right now because I’m here to help my sister, alright? Move. What’s that burning smell?”

“Fuck!” Lip rushes over to the stove and takes the pan with the crispy remains of a grilled cheese and throws it in the sink. He kicks at the cabinet in front of the sink and tugs at his strands again. “Fuck, fucking-I needed help 3 days ago! My wife is fucking sick and I don’t know what to do. It’s not a cold. She’s not going through withdrawals or ODing. She was literally just fucking born with something that could kill her and I have the fucking nerve to be tired. She can’t move. Her bones hurt. She gets a fever for nothing. She can’t fucking breathe right. And I’m tired. Be-because I can’t sleep. I have to watch her. A-and, my mind is constantly trying to think of what she needs next. I’ve got a fucking notebook full of medications and times so I can keep them straight I want her to get better. I need her to get better now.”

Fiona stands quietly as her little brother tries to even out his breathing. She takes careful steps forward, sweeping the tears from his cheeks before using her sleeve to wipe the snot from his nose. It’s easy to forget. Lip is a man now. But every now and then, Lip reminds her he’s only 20 years old. That he’s her first baby. 

“Go take a long shower.” She says, taking her bag off her shoulder.

“I can’t, I need to check on Charlotte.” He sniffs. “I don’t like leaving her alone that long.”

“I’ll check on her. You can’t take care of her if you’re not taking care of yourself. Plus you’re gross.”

Charlotte is sitting up in the bed by the time Lip comes back to their room. It was the first time in 3 days that they’d been apart for an hour. Fiona had brought her a new grilled cheese sandwich and wiped the tear tracks from her own face when she acknowledged that she’d heard Lip’s breakdown from before because her nebulizer had turned off.  The younger woman used shaky hands to pick at her nails as she watched the door for her husband after her sister left.

She felt guilty that he had to take care of her so much. Charlotte had always had health issues, and they’re a lot on anyone. Her parents had even hired help when they were really bad when she was younger. She has always had her own feelings about feeling like her body betrays her randomly sometimes, that excruciating pain can come from nowhere and occasionally her parents would use that as a way to control her.

 But Lip isn’t like that. He just cares. He cares to the point that he’s angry for her. At the situation. At himself. She can feel him. Looking at her at night, making sure she’s breathing. Kissing her temple and trying to massage the migraines from her head. She knows he called her parents despite her wishes. And she felt his disappointment and desperation when they told him that since she decided she was grown, she was on her own. Her husband spent the past few days driving himself insane, just in hopes of her getting a little bit better. And she couldn’t even promise him that.

“Hey, baby, you’re up.” He smiles softly, tugging on a pair of pajama pants over his boxers. 

“Boo, I was enjoying the show.” Charlotte offers him a tired grin back.

He shakes his head, placing a hand on the back of her neck under the guise of pulling her into a kiss, not very discreetly feeling to see if she has a fever. “Fuckin’ perv.” Lip presses his lips against hers once, twice, before resting his forehead against hers. “Pain level.”

“3.”

“So 6.” He sucks his teeth, “Headache?”

“Nope.” she pops the ‘p’, rubbing his nose with hers and pouting at his disapproving look. “Promise.”

“You have to be fucking honest, Bunny, really, we can’t play with your health.” 

“I’m fine-” she groans, pushing him away lightly only to pause when she sees his face. It’s stoic and strict. Almost angry. Almost, if not for the water glittering on his waterline. 

“I don’t have to say the fucking words, I know you don’t want me to say them. But, I need you. So we need to handle this right. I have to take care of you, because this is freaking me the fuck out, baby. I know it’s fucking annoying that I keep waking you up, and making you take things you don’t wanna take. I know you don’t want me to carry you around, but Charlotte, please. Seriously. Fuckin’ please.”

Charlotte bites her bottom lip, eyes slipping closed, she reaches up, waiting for her husband to lean down into her arm. He does, encasing her, holding her. Like glass, she hates this. But she can understand. If Lip looked the way she looked, felt the way she felt, she’d feel horrible. “Okay. My…my head hurts a little bit.”

“Okay.” Lip nods against her shoulder, reaching over to the nightstand, grabbing the tylenol bottle and the glass of water Fiona had left. Charlotte opens her mouth and Lip places the small white pill in her mouth, ignoring the shiver of familiarity he gets from it and reasoning to himself how different this is from anything with his own parents. “Thank you, Bunny.” He breathes as he watches her swallow down the water he holds to her lips. 

“Thank you, Bubba.” She scoots over and pats the space in the bed next to her. “Time for my other medicine.”

Blue eyes roll as he climbs under the covers, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her to his chest. “You’re so fuckin’ corny.” Lip relaxes a little as he nuzzles his nose against her head, breathing her in and feeling her heartbeat as his fingers run along her wrists. “You’re starting to have the energy to make stupid jokes again, so you must be getting better.”

Charlotte hums as he smooths his hands along her arms, stomach and legs. Her head drops back against his shoulder. “Eh, I wouldn’t take out that life insurance on me just yet.”

Lip brings her hand to his lips kissing her wrist before speaking against it. “Fuckk, there goes that vacation I was supposed to take my other wife on.”

“Yeah, Helene will simply have to wait.”

“Eyes and mouth closed, brat.” he snorts.

"Phillip?" she starts.

He sighs, letting his own eyes slip shut, resting his head on hers. "I'll be fine when you are, Bunny." And he means it. Charlotte is Lip's life. His wife is the best thing that's ever happened to him. He...was overwhelmed earlier. But he'd loose 3 more days sleep. He'd keep a million notebooks. Keep track of hundreds of medications. Just to see her feeling better again. "Just get better for me, baby."

Shadowmoon Legacy Part 6: The Letter

Gonna be trying out some different stuff in the writing portions of this one.

It's been a couple weeks now and Charlotte has gotten comfortable with her new life in Forgotten Hollow. One morning a mysterious package was left in her mailbox.

Greetings, It has come to our attention that the residency at Windowshild Townhome is once again home to a resident of Forgotten Hollow. As this is the case we will resume delivery of our best curated items suitable to life in our community. We hope you enjoy the complimentary gift we've provided and wish you and yours a very long and prosperous life. Sincerely, The Grand Coven of Forgotten Hollow

The package that came with the letter was just as confusing. In it were two simple... bags of juice?

Looking them over Charlotte was hesitant to try them. Unlabeled except for a purple staff on one and a stylized frog on the other. Not quite sure what to do with them she sends a message to Jeremy over Social Bunny.

Charlotte: hey, I got a strange package today Jeremy: Oh? Anything interesting? Charlotte: sends a picture of packs Charlotte: any idea what they are? Jeremy: Odd... I don't think I've seen anything like that. Would love to look them over though. Charlotte: meet at magnolia? Jeremy: Sure, meet you there.

Meeting up at the part Charlotte shows Jeremy the letter she got and the odd juice packs that were in the mail.

"Grand Coven of Forgotten Hollow?" asks Jeremy.

Shrugging her shoulders. "I haven't heard of them, maybe it's Forgotten Hollow's NAP group?" She turns over one of the packs. "Either way, sending juice packs in the mail?"

Looking over the other one Jeremy laughs. "It wouldn't be the weirdest NAP put into place, I heard in Evergreen Harbor they voted to wear bags on their heads all the time."

"Fair enough. So... think you could figure out what this is?"

He pockets one of the packs while standing up. "Easy, I've got a friend at FutureSim that can check it out. It's probably just some out-of-season Spooky Day prank. What with how Forgotten Hollow looks I wouldn't be surprised."

"Maybe, though writing a whole letter to go with it is a bit more effort than the usual prank day trick."

The two spend a bit more time chatting in the park before going their separate ways for now, each with one of the odd packs to take home. On the way Charlotte considered just opening it, turning it over and over as she walked up the steps to her home. Not coming up with any clear decision she stashed it in the corner of her fridge and went about her other business.

Sometime in the early evening, she heard a knock on the door. She went to see who was at the door only to find no one there. Confused she looked around only to kick a new package off the steps.

She was confused at the second odd package to end up at her door. This time an old-looking book with a note attached to it.

We heard you were looking for something like this, hope it helps whatever you're up to. ~ L. & C. Vatore

Charlotte brought the book inside and began to look it over. It quickly became clear that this was exactly what she was looking for...

Encyclopedia Vampirica Volume 1

This is a much longer post than the ones before, I wanted to try out having more dialogue and whatnot to better characterize everyone. What can I say, it's hard for me to write any kind of story without dialogue lol.

Had a good time mixing in some of my own made-up lore with the various lore and tidbits already in the game. I could make this a super grounded story but I like having the silly sims touches be cannon in the story (looking at you, We Wear Bags NAP).

Whatsup...

🏖 As you may have noticed it's been since October, but we made it back to our favorite spot...the beach and took a test run on our new chairs that we can fold up and put on our backs for the days we can't or don't wanna take our beach buggy full of stuff (it is also important to note, they are extra for guests).

🛩 Only one more plane ticket to purchase before we can say we are ready for our big trip to Cancun to celebrate the accomplishments of college graduates in our family (3 in the next year).

🎓 The first graduation is for Frooze who officially submitted her application to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for her Master's degree.

📚 The next graduate, Jo found out a couple great achievements recently with another invite to this semester's gold ticket event with potential employers and a successful addition to the Dean's List.

🚗 The final graduate, Ebaugh notified us of his newest venture as a Doordash driver/delivery person to grab some extra cash.

🏈 The Super Bowl was pretty entertaining for a game that didn't involve the Steelers, but seeing the baby bump on Rhianna was a small concern for those of us who would like to see her on tour at some point.

🎰 Other vacation plans are coming together nicely like our next trip to Vegas where we will be joined by our dear friends for their first time in Sin City.

🛏 Speaking of dear friends and plans, we are fast approaching our first overnight visit at the townhome from OUR friends and we are so excited...our kids have all had visitors stay with us, but now we will get to finally show off our home and beach community!

💻 Work...no one wants to hear about work!

AB Finishes was first conceptualized in January of 2022 when a new vendor, Unified Door & Hardware Group sought out Classic Construction & Restoration, Inc. for a niche "finish carpentry" installation need. Classic did not have the time, bandwidth, or necessary overhead budget to manage these niche projects profitably and declined the project. But Classic's COO Brandy Painter saw the potential in this new niche market and reached out to the Vendor's Account Manager to pitch "hiring her and her new company" for their door & trim installation project. AB Finishes was founded February 15th, 2022 and had accepted their first project with UDH by the end of the month. Since the initial approach by UDH, AB Finishes has been asked to provide over 30 bids and been recommended by our founding vendor partner to a number of his counterparts at both UDH and its various sister companies. We have completed four projects, are under way on three projects, and are contracted for an additional three projects slated to start later in the year. What we do: AB Finishes is a full-service General Contractor. We have the capability and resources necessary to handle any trade we are asked to provide a bid on but consider ourselves "finish carpentry" specialists. We have primarily been asked to bid "trim carpentry" but were recently asked to provide a quote to be the "Punch Contractor" who finishes the various trades' incomplete punch list items. We've worked in Commercial Office spaces, Multi-family residential (5 floors or less) spaces, Townhomes, & multi-family residential high rises. AB Finishes is receiving good reviews from Site Management due to our hands-on approach to project management. Our approach is to always make the customers feel that we are there for them in all stages of the project by providing a caring Project Manager who will be with the project from start to completion. This personal touch is what we are marketing for and what we believe has made our current and previous projects successful.

Housing Shortage and High Cost of Ownership Fuel Growth in Build-to-Rent (BTR) Sector

The Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector has emerged as a vital solution to address the growing housing shortage and high cost of home ownership in the United States. Over the past five years, the BTR sector has expanded significantly and continues to attract substantial institutional investment. Here’s an in-depth look at the factors driving this growth and what it means for real estate developers and investors.

Current Market Landscape

According to CBRE’s 2024 BTR Residential Market Overview, the BTR market currently encompasses about 350,000 units and is projected to increase by nearly 50% in the coming years. Most BTR communities consist of more than 50 homes or townhomes, operating similarly to multifamily assets but without vertical stacking. These properties are typically owned by investors and professionally managed, offering flexible, amenity-rich rental options for both millennials and baby boomers.

Key Drivers of BTR Growth

Addressing Housing Shortage: The BTR sector is one of the solutions to the nation’s 3.1 million unit housing shortage. By targeting millennials and empty nesters, BTR developments meet the demand for flexible and high-quality rental communities.

Market Demand: Factors such as the high cost of home ownership, remote work trends, and population migration are driving demand for BTR communities. For investors, the appeal lies in strong rent growth, low vacancy rates, robust net absorption, product diversification, and attractive exit opportunities.

Economic Indicators

The average monthly rent for a BTR unit reached $2,181 during the second quarter, marking a 1.5% year-over-year increase. This growth significantly outpaced traditional multifamily rent growth, which stood at 0.3%. Investor interest in the BTR sector remains strong, even though activity dipped 40% last year from its peak of $1.6 billion. This dip still reflects more than double the average level before the pandemic, highlighting strong confidence in the sector’s robust revenue growth and lower resident turnover.

Regional Performance

Sun Belt Markets: BTR is performing exceptionally well in Sun Belt markets, led by Phoenix and Dallas-Fort Worth. These markets are the nation’s largest for BTR, each with over 10,000 units. Texas BTR growth is benefiting from significant in-migration, and cities like Charlotte and Austin are expected to double their existing BTR inventory, leading the BTR construction pipeline.

Midwest Markets: Regions such as Minneapolis, Cleveland, and Kansas City are also showing strong growth in the BTR sector, thanks to lower vacancy rates and smaller construction pipelines.

Build-to-Rent is emerging as a crucial part of the solution to the housing shortage, offering high-quality, family-friendly rental options with unparalleled flexibility. According to Matt Vance, Americas head of multifamily research at CBRE, “Five years of consistent growth and strong market fundamentals have attracted substantial institutional investment.”

For real estate developers and investors, the BTR sector presents significant opportunities. The combination of innovative building strategies, market demand, and policy changes is shaping a dynamic and accessible housing market.

Major Backlash Over Pineville Electrical Substation Proposal

An electrical substation is like a traffic hub for electricity. It takes high-voltage electricity from power plants and transforms it into lower-voltage electricity for homes and businesses to use safely. The pros of having a substation in a community include providing reliable electricity for everyday needs like lighting and heating. It helps distribute power efficiently across neighborhoods. However, there are also cons to consider. Substations can be noisy, especially if they're close to homes. Some people worry about health risks from electromagnetic fields generated by substations, although scientific research hasn't conclusively shown harmful effects. Additionally, substations can be eyesores in otherwise scenic areas. Balancing the benefits of reliable electricity with community concerns is essential when planning and locating substations.
