We are getting closer to breaking ground on my next infill development project in Thunderbolt, Georgia. I will be pitching my proposal for a two=-story 2,700+/- mixed use building at the northeast corner of Victory Drive and Mechanics Avenue in little old Thunderbolt, Georgia at the May 20th Planning and Zoning meeting. I am posting the proposed design renderings here and linking to the Town’s Facebook pages so that I can be fully transparent and help residents understand the concept before the meeting.
The new Victory Drive Design guidelines for the Town of Thunderbolt helped direct the design of this building. I wanted to go heavy on the personality that lends to the friendliness of the low country. There are ample sunny windows fronting Victory Drive with the dedicated porch that is also required to front the boulevard. The roof is rendered with standing seam metal and I intend to select a colored metal that is timeless and has character complimentary to the neighborhood. As far as the design goes, I believe it’s simplicity is what makes it elegant. I hope that I do not get a lot of pushback from the Town as I have been extraordinarily thoughtful about it.
Since the Victory Drive District promotes a Main Street feel, I focused on the mixed use model. You will notice that for the retail spaces, we have two distinct spaces. Both spaces are roughly 675 sf with a kitchenette and bathroom. At first, I wanted a cafe in the corner space but I do not intend to put a cafe here. I do not want to spend that kind of money on the upgraded sewer.
Upstairs, there are two, walk up one bedroom apartments, each about 650 sf. For this use, the Town requires 2.5 parking spaces per unit. One of the archaic things about the parking guidelines is that anyone developing must give 2.5 spaces per residential unit — it does not matter if it’s a Studio apartment or 4 Bedroom home. These apartments will have dedicated, assigned parking spaces for 1 car each. In the evening after the offices have closed for the day, there will be a plethora of parking spaces for guests.
Tax Short Terms Rentals as Businesses - They are Hotels
Short-term rentals (STVRs), including Airbnbs, are commercial enterprises. They are hotels in disguise—and they should be taxed accordingly. I am qualified to speak on this subject as a real estate broker, developer, and former owner of STVRs (still have two). The inequity in taxation of these properties makes me sick to my stomach and fair warning, if you read this, you will probably feel a bit nauseous as well…
Currently, Georgia’s property tax system allows these operations to be treated as ordinary homes. According to Gemini: “A property in Georgia used as an Airbnb is not typically subject to a separate property tax classification or rate that is identical to a hotel's property tax.” This means highly profitable rentals avoid commercial tax rates, shifting the burden onto local homeowners and renters.
Consider 224 Houston St, branded as “The Present Hotel.” With 15 units and over $950,000 in annual revenue, it recently sold for $5.25 million. Good for them - happy to see their success ( and the place is very cool!).
HOWEVER, in 2024, it paid just $5,361.46 in county taxes—less than what I pay on a 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath + Carriage house rental property I own in Live Oak that generates 1/20th of what their hotel does and that the County continues to rase taxes on each year. This pushes the burden of escalating taxes to my tenants.
Worse, the former out-of-state owners repeatedly appealed its taxable value, slashing its assessment to half its purchase price for years—dodging fair contributions to local revenue.
This isn’t just inequitable. It’s offensive.
Here’s what must change:
Reclassify STVRs as commercial properties. If they operate as hotels, they should be taxed like hotels.
Eliminate the loopholes that let investors slash their property assessments below market value.
Use that revenue to seed a Community Housing Trust Fund that serves local residents, not absentee landlords.
This isn’t anti-tourism. It’s pro-fairness. Pro-housing. Pro-community.
What you can do:
Select your favorite STVR. Collect all of the data you can find on it via their airbnb.com listing (or applicable). Try to estimate how many nights it’s booked and what the average rate is. Find its address as well.
Hop on Sagis.org and find its property tax information. Scroll through the property’s page and look at what it pays in taxes each year. You can also scroll to find out how many times their property has been appealed.
Next, hope onto Zillow and try to figure out how much the property would rent for as a market rate “normal” annual lease. Knowing these numbers, do you feel like STVR’s may be a part of why housing prices continue to go up? What else could be driving these price hikes (hint: policy and uninformed head-in-the-sand city officials. Again, not biased).
Next, do some analysis. If you owned this property, would you rent it short term or long term (duh, you’d do short term because it’s going to produce way more).
Fine. But should it be taxed as a regular house? Or should our elected officials consider taxing STVRs as income-producing properties? I think you know where I stand.
If your hackles are up like mine, consider reaching out to your City Council representative, joining the Yes In My BackYard (YIMBY) group in Savannah, and reaching out to your Board of Assessors.
As always, please feel free to reach out with feedback. Nothing is going to improve unless we push these issues to attention. Thanks for your interest.
Savannah’s Housing Solution? One Backyard, One Dwelling, One Neighbor at a Time
What if the solution to Savannah’s housing crisis is already here—in plain sight? In a neighbor’s backyard, a church parking lot, a dusty duplex zoning rule? We don’t need billion-dollar answers. We need 5,000 backyards, 500 neighbors, and a city brave enough to say “yes” to its own people.
Savannah and our surrounding counties can address housing issues incrementally—one structure at a time. This isn’t just theory; it’s practice. I’ve done it. With the right support, seasoned developers and citizen developers alike can do it again and again.
These ideas aren’t new or original. They’re lived-in lessons from years of developing homes in Thunderbolt and Savannah. As an incremental developer, I typically take on one or two projects at a time. Occasionally, I’ll scale up, like with Village on the Bluff in Thunderbolt—a half-acre cottage court with seven cottages and a mixed-use building.
But here’s the rub: zoning, tax policy, and government sluggishness are not just inconveniences—they’re actively worsening our housing issues. Savannah is full of doers who care. So let’s give them room to act. Here’s how we can support citizen developers and fund programs that solve housing needs—one dwelling at a time.
1. Loosen Zoning for Missing Middle Housing
Duplexes, quads, cottage courts—they already exist in our neighborhoods and they’re in high demand. Many single and double-income households without kids prefer compact, lower-maintenance living with lower utility bills and a higher quality of life.
Planning and Zoning departments should not be requiring individual citizens to navigate Byzantine text amendments just to allow sensible density. It’s time for P&Z staff to educate themselves, the public, and our leaders. This is basic housing literacy—let’s get fluent, fast.
2. Train the Citizen and Faith-Based Developers
Let’s bring programs like the Incremental Development Alliance and Neighborhood Evolution to Savannah. These respected organizations train local citizens to build what their neighborhoods actually need.
Often, these new developers already own land they can contribute as equity. Imagine the potential if we also engaged Rooted Good, a faith-based consultancy, to help churches transform their missions into housing realities.
3. Make Infrastructure Work Financially
Sidewalks, sewers, and streets are expensive—and guess what? Missing Middle Housing often boosts the return on those investments. Hire an infrastructure assessor to help us enhance ROI and plan smarter development around our existing public assets.
4. Pilot Proof-of-Concept Projects with Local Developers
Governments are often hesitant to take on development themselves—but they don’t have to. Savannah is blessed with skilled, experienced developers who can demonstrate how Missing Middle Housing can be seamlessly woven into existing communities.
Support these developers. Document their work. Use it to train city staff, inspire citizens, and shift public perception.
5. Finance Social Good with Low-Interest Loans
Savannah needs a Community Housing Fund—and other low-interest financial tools—now.
Take a page from the Land Bank’s playbook: they issue 0% loans to citizen developers. Why not extend this approach to vetted private developers too? These folks can often move faster, with fewer resources, and greater efficiency. Let’s reward that efficiency and maximize the use of program dollars.
6. Unlock the Power of Backyard Cottages
My company estimates that Chatham County has 20,000 backyards eligible for accessory dwelling units (ADUs). According to AARP, 1 in 4 homeowners would consider adding one. That’s 5,000 backyard opportunities—a sleeping asset.
So let’s wake it up.
What programs can we create to activate this potential? How can we finance it? Could we pair this with an aging-in-place initiative? What if we trained a new generation of small-scale developers to transform these yards into affordable homes?
In my eyes, our region is full of opportunities and even fuller of people who care. So here’s my question to you:
Would you consider becoming a citizen developer if a support program existed? Where do you see missed opportunities in Savannah? Would you lend to a community fund that builds real housing?
Let’s build something—together.

Why is this house illegal in so many communities?
The CUTE house pictured is part of a “cottage cluster” in Asheville’s Montford neighborhood. There is a walkway down one side of the house to a rear cottage + carriage house. The house facing the street is owned by one household while the rear properties are owned by another household. This was creatively done by what is known as a flag lot ordinance.
Flag lots are defined as a piece of land that is shaped like a flag, with a narrow strip of land extending from the street to a larger lot behind it. Flag lots are also known as flagpole lots (thanks, Google AI).
The flag lot’s Carriage House is accessed via an apparent easement to allow for a car to drive down the side of the front Craftsman.
Flag lots can bring a bit of controversy and have been weighed for over two years here in Asheville. Many NIMBY groups AND folks worried about displacement think flag lots can create issues. NIMBY’s worry because they see smaller lots as detrimental to property values. Those worried about displacement (called legacy owners in Asheville) are more concerned about the changing culture of the area and that more housing will create more noise, cars, etc.
Should flag lots be seen and promoted as a creative tool to help promote common sense housing infill? I’m no NIMBY and think these flag lots open up opportunity for homeownership, using existing infrastructure making them more eco-friendly, and help homeowners unlock the potential of their backyards without having to go through the sometimes difficult financing process. More on financing to come.
View of the actual “flag pole” portion of the lot. This gives walkable access to the backyard portion of the lot. You can see a Cottage in the rear.
The best way to teach about flag lots in my mind is by example. The above Craftsman bungalow is one of my favorites along my morning walk — it just so happens to be the primary lot for the flag lot that was cut off from it.
You can see what the actual flag lot looks like with this Craftsman bungalow in Asheville (Buncombe County, NC) — the “flag pole” goes down the side of the lot, helping to give access to the rear portion of the lot to build another house.
The Craftsman with an earlier paint job. It was the “donor lot” to the flag lot. You can see the flag pole shape of the secondary lot.
Another view with the apparent driveway easement for parking. I’d wager a guess that the donating lot gave itself parking access in the rear on the lot it donated to.
Why do flag lots exist? Why should we consider flag lots as a way to develop housing?
Typically a property owner this is done for a couple of reasons:
A homeowner wants to build a Backyard Cottage or ADU and finds it difficult to finance without subdivision. Banks are more likely to loan to an applicant who owns the land outright but is less likely to lend on a property where there is a house AND you want to build an ADU. The banks want the homeowner to have significant equity for the second scenario. So, creating a flag lot helps them bridge that gap.
For example, most of the time backyard cottages (ADU’s) are built utilizing money from a home equity line of credit. By using the backyard, the lender is able to utilize the land as the collateral.
Banks typically say that they will finance 75% of a project. So, for example if I wanted to create a flag lot, the lot’s value could serve as the downpayment of the house. If the house would cost $200k to build, and a flag lot could be valued at $65k the total cost would be $265k. 25% of this would come from the land value, saving saving the homeowner from having to pull out cash from a home equity line of credit (you will want to discuss terms w your bank, of course, as the bank will want to consider the land value as part of the original note/mortgage).
The owner of the property may want to sell part of the land off — perhaps they are a landlord and want to maximize profits or they are a homeowner who wants their relative or friend to live in close proximity with the benefits of owning vs renting.
As land becomes more and more scarce and expensive (looking at you, Asheville & Savannah), we must look to our backyards where we have existing infrastructure in place. This is not only a way to promote smart growth but it is also a way to promote homeownership opportunities.
If you have examples of flag lots or other creative ways of development, please reach out to me. I love asking “why not” and exploring the outliers in cottage construction.

Understanding the development proces
Quite frequently I get clients or friends who tell me, “I’d love to do what you do!” It is always lovely to hear and I try to share tips or tell them where to start or how I cut my teeth.
Lately, I’ve been doing online training. I ran across this free course from University of Michigan offered through Coursea. Curiosity got the best of me so I’ve not only taken it but want to promote it to anyone who has ever thought about dipping their toe in the real estate development pool.
The description the instructor gives about how a developer is like the conductor of an orchestra is spot on. It is not unlike real estate agency - juggling, juggling, juggling. This is probably why I enjoy it so much!
I never thought my career path would lead me to develop and become an advocate for housing choice! We need community-driven female developers — if you want to learn, please drop me a line!
This course has a deep community-driven component to it as well. And right now with all the craziness in the world right now, it feels like this is the right time to focus on mission driven development.
If you have thought about doing even just one project, I’d recommend this course. Reach out to me if you do - I’d love to hear what you are working on!
What is an ADU - Unscrambling the Alphabet of Simple Backyard Cottages
Accessory Dwelling Units. Additional Dwelling Units. Acronyme Difficile et inUtile?
Nah.
Backyard Cottages.
The alphabet soup is not inspiring. It can mystify and unnecessarily confuse the public. Keep it simple, Sweetheart!
Drifting Cottage in Savannah. 480 sf of cinderblock goodness that I had the pleasure of managing for years!
A backyard cottage is simple. Everyone knows what a cottage is. Its cozy. It makes you feel like you are inside a hug. Most folks know of someone who has lived “out back” as in “my mother in law moved to town and she is staying in our cottage ‘out back'‘. We can do movie nights and cocktails on the patio with her and then still have our own space. The kids love seeing their Grannyand its great for her and her independence!”
Backyard cottages are where it’s at as far as I am concerned.
Backyard Cottages are the lifeblood of providing responsible density to our neighborhoods.
We can build homeownership opportunities with cottages with cottage courts, cottage clusters, and via other creative subdivision of land.
Drifting Room Circa 2016. Drifting is one of my favorite cottages of all time. Every inch was accounted for my the meticulous owner.
It is a way to creatively build rental opportunities in for those underserved in our communities (do we always have to chase the almighty dollar?).
It is the way forward.
And I’m here to promote them, build them, and help you or your organization explore developing them.
Hop over to my sister site, Backyard Cottage Solutions, to get the skinny on my new endeavor.
As ever, than you for your support!
The Village on the Bluff Wins Urban Guild Award
The Village on the Bluff’s team of architects and designer were recognized by the Urban Guild with a Merit Award for Middle Missing Housing! When David Kim let me know that he, Bruce Tolar, and John Anderson were going to receive the award, I was elated for our them and also for the Town of Thunderbolt.
The town’s overlay district is allowing more creative development to transpire. The overlay district allows for more common sense development that, if designed correctly, keeps you out of the variance cycle that kills so many real estate projects (and so, so many brain cells!).
The awards were given out in November in the absolute stunning new urban community of Habersham, South Carolina. The community was designed by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., one of my grad school day idols. I was able to attend the day’s celebration including a walking tour by many of the architects, builders of adus, and the developer. It was an amazing opportunity and a perfect day to engage and recharge my batteries.
Read all about it in the Public Square, a CNU Journal.
Village on the Bluff - First Looks & Open House
I did a big thing. I developed the Village on the Bluff in Thunderbolt, GA. That is really funny to read right now for many reasons…
Ineterior courtyard at the Village on the Bluff
I’m ELATED to write that the Village is finally ready for its big photo op. Our press release goes out TODAY. The ribbon cutting is Tuesday. And I’ve got 3 more cottages to finalize before photos in 5 hours. No bigs.
The ribbon cutting will be at 2 PM Tuesday, March 7th at the Village, 2919 River Drive Thunderbolt GA 31404. Both flats and cottages will be open for viewing afterwards until 7:30 PM. Overflow parking is at Tubby’s, 2 doors down.
ALSO, we are doing a 2 week stint in the Village Store with Vintage Vend, a Savannah-based pop up market. This begins March 6th. Please come and SHOP with us and help us test out this potential full time retail tenant.
THANK YOU to all of you who have encouraged and helped me over the years. The Town USED to be notorious for being difficult to work with so I an INCREDIBLY proud that this project came to fruition.
Special thanks to my Mom for being a saint, holding her tongue, and not calling me a diva (at least to my face).
Village Store will host our first retail guest, Vintage Vend, starting March 6th.

Get thee a clawfoot tub!
You need this. Did you already hear me say this? Oh wait, YES YOU DID!!!
You can get these babies for free (sometimes) and then call the best tub guy in town, Happy, to refinish it for you (PM me for his info).
This baby was behind a friend’s renovation project. Sadly, he was not a believer in the powerful transforming and healing powers of a CFT. However, he gave it to me so I am eternally grateful! ) so he gave it to me! Thanks, Brent!
Here we are after the very sweaty Duke’s Dad and Happy got her into position in the new Master Bath. Isn’t she great!?! I wanted to leave that rustic feel to her and Happy knew just what I wanted. Supremely happy with Happy. He’s a hardworking champ!
Rubba-dub-dub!
Here she is after the GREAT TEAM from American Plumbing went above and beyond to help me get a shower in the new bathroom! They went off site and took the hardware off another old tub and put it onto this ole’ girl! Seriously nicest guys ever - thanks Terrence and Mr. Bryan!
All in all, if you want a CFT DO IT! The nostalgia, charm, and TUB SOAKin is well worth it. Enjoy!

I have been dreaming about this kind of house for a very long time. After the carriage house in Tbolt was complete, I knew I would always and forever need LOFTY ceilings with lots of light. My new project on Isle of Hope will offer that lofty feel but with a Lowcountry twist.
Here are some quick photos of the house going up… Some of my favorite features include the wraparound porches, mudroom, pantry, big party shower, and flexible living spaces.
More to come but here’s a little happy for your Friday…
NOW for something completely DIFFERENT
I started another renovation in Thunderbolt with my neighbor, DC. He is allowing me to ‘take the reins” while he manages the money-side of things which is a DREAM COME TRUE for me.
The house is unusual in that the original potion of the house was built around 1940. The house was added onto in the 1960’s I believe…..because the AMAZING TERRAZZO FLOORING we found the plush green carpet in the bedrooms and living room!
I spy…..TERRAZZO!!!
Finalizing the budget but should be underway in early February turning this current 2 bedroom 2 bath home into a 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with big bonus room and party kitchen!
The plan is to go as a nightly rental and have a mid century vibe to the house — the floors certainly speak to that style!
The trees and existing landscaping will allow us a great big entertaining space and we are a stone’s throw to the neighborhood fishing pier.
I have yet to do a mid century house so I’m very excited to get going!
More to come!
HEAD-ing up the progress....
Onward we go! After a couple weeks of planning and slowing down due to the holidays we are back on track! Last weekend Duke’s Dad and I got the doors from Pembroke (pronounced “brook,” not “BROKE”), I finished cleaning out the drywall, and he ripped up subfloor in the kitchen so the tile would be the same height in the kitchen as newly found hardwoods in living room.
The physicality of the work is A LOT! I feel like I have some minor nerve damage from 3-4 hours of pulling nails — what a weenie!
Luckily for Duke’s Dad, his friend, Micha was able to come down from Asheville to help for a couple weeks. Micha paired with TT have made a big impact this week — headers have been installed where new windows and doors are going. A new exterior door is hung (major victory for me to see!), and outside openings are blocked off w playwood. I feel so lucky and happy that this GREAT PROGRESS is being made by a lively and fun group…
That and the DENIM-looking tile is down in the kitchen!
I closed on another renovation project with my neighbor December 31st (we start bidding next week) and had a disappointment with the small house community I’ve been wanting to build (CHIN UP!) so I was not at the work site as much as I wanted to be this week but did get to shop vac and clean up the site some (I love a sparkling clean site!).
ONWARD!
Addicted to Demolition!
LOVE the sound of flooring popping up as I scrape it! SERIOUSLY ADDICTED. Nothing else to report as plumbers and electricians do their thing. We have filled up one dumpster already and getting the exterior of the Mustard Pancake all planned out — new windows have been ordered and now we debate on how to get the most bang for the buck with a VERY SMALL BUDGET.
This is seriously a big test of my budgeting skills. This house is going to need EVERYTHING - updating electrical, adding full bath, renovating one bath, redoing hardwoods, redoing drywall, adding skim coat to ceiling, new kitchen, windows, deck, doors, and ROOF. If we can stay under 50k I am going to be incredibly proud of our team! This is the SMALLEST budget I’ve ever worked with on a house that is in need of the most work!!

Scribbles!
I have been a scribbler for a long time. I’m no true artist BUT scribbling lets me get ideas out on paper and help me explain what I see a project becoming…
Earliest scribbles of the Mustard Pancake
Even if I pen for just a short while, I notice I start seeing what I am looking for exhibited in other homes. Take for instance these scribbled columns and the big gable (above). When I took Tondee for a walk in Parkside I couldn’t help but get inspired when I saw these textured and chunky columns…
One of my very favorite bungalows in Parkside neighborhood
More Parkside inspiration for Ze Pancake!
When Duke’s Dad and I sat down at Larry’s to grab some breakfast yesterday (my way of bribing him to help me pick up my new doors w his trailer!) I picked up my pen and just started scribbling on my placemat. I suppose it helped me translate what he was saying about options for affordable metal siding (ala Austin, TX) and getting creative with textures and materials…..
The Mustard Pancake all scribbled up
Artist or not, if you have ideas, just try and get ‘em down on paper somehow. I noticed my scribbles end up having more in common the more and more I scratch them out. Those patterns help reiterate what I want to see aesthetically and helps me develop my plan.
Happy scribbling!
The Mustard Pancake - a Renovation!
Oh boy! My arms are already sore and its only been two days of slinging a hammer. Yes, I am a pipsqueak BUT I do like my demo time. It’s kinda like winter, a time to strip down the layers and get to the meat of what’s ailing you in order to build back. Oh, so deep, meaningful, and (slightly?) annoying, but TRUE!
The Mustard Pancake is ready for a full on FACELIFT, but we are not going to stop there! We are gonna give this ole’ gal the full on WORKS. We’re talking inner-workings, plugs for the hair, an eye-lift, skinlift, and permanant eyeliner and lipstick! Meaning, you will not recognize this 1938 Doll in a couple months.
The Mustard Pancake! She has absolutely NO facial features but we’re going to change that!
So far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discover that we indeed DO have hardwoods under layers on linoleum. I was FOOLED to thinking it was gone somehow. Everything else is just garbage done poorly and cheaply. The windows are awful and the crawlspace has been covered up giving way to 40% humidity underneath the bathroom (note to self: never hire the handyman for this house who created a termite highway of EARTH TO WOOD DIRECT CONTACT!!!).
Tondee says, “Just say NO to faux-floating-floors, FOOL!”
FEAR NOT, I have a plan!
I have been inspired by JH Interior Design for some time - mainly the small home she renovated for her family. The loft in her farmhouse inspired my new house design at Thunderbolt & Isle of Hope and the big front porch is what pushed me to realize that the Mustard Pancake could actually shine by adding a bit of farmhouse flare and some depth to the front facade (i.e. add a deep porch that wraps around!).
Inspired by JH Interior Design Oregon Farmhouse
Day 1 - we got flooring up and stacked and Day 2 demo began on bathroom. Day 2 was quite hysterical when I thought I’d cut the water off the the refrigerator and low and behold, it was NOT CUT off and I had to repeatedly run buckets of water outside while my friend, TT, came over to cut the water to the house w an oversized wrench. OMG - water everywhere!
What do we have here? Linoleum and more linoleum. Will give you an update on how my heat gun, utility knife, and scrapers work out for me here in an upcoming post.
Thank goodness for the buckets! A good lesson in why its important to always carrying a big ole’ wrench with you!
Behold: Yes, I will find a recessed medicine cabinet for this bathroom right after I finish demo-ing this gross vinyl flooring and eliminate these cheap aluminum windows!
Long days ahead but hearing the horses whinny and neigh across the street is already worth it! Not to mention the trails with views like this!!!
Views on the marsh trail near my new project Tondee has found wonderful things on the trail including friends to romp with and things to ROLL IN!
More updates to come! I’ll be posting more images on Facebook soon! Cheers!
