In this episode of Pivot to Prosperity, host Ginny Bolling sits down with seasoned real estate pro and Pivotal Person award recipient Andy McMullen of Legacy Acquisitions. We explore the growing trend of Build-to-Rent communities. With over 25 years of experience in real estate and development across California and the Southeast, Andy shares his journey from brokerage to building large-scale, single-family rental communities with heart. He also talks about how rising mortgage rates are making renting a smart choice and dives into what goes into building and managing these communities—from entitlements to tech-forward amenities. He has a passion for helping communities and puts in the time and money.

Whether you're a new investor or a seasoned one, this episode provides easy-to-understand insights into the Build-to-Rent model and how it can benefit communities and investors alike.
