The home builder you choose greatly impacts the price and quality of the home you will live in for years to come. Because of this, we take buying power seriously. Our homeowners get the best value from us because we get the best value from our vendor partners.

Lawnmowers, bikes, kayaks, tools, boats, camping and gardening equipment – We all have a lot of stuff to store. Let’s be honest, it’s often more than a two car garage can handle, especially if you hope to park your car inside. But what happens when a third car garage exceeds your budget? Or worse, what if an additional garage won’t fit on the homesite you’ve got your eye on? We’ve found a solution and what’s better is that it’s cost-free.

The spacious kitchen island is perfect for a quick snack or a formal family dinner, and the secluded master suite includes a spacious walk-in closet.

In today’s “side-hustle” culture, it seems everyone is turning their hobby into additional cash flow and the work never stops.

Well, if you play the rental game right, you can come out on top with a wealth-building machine. We sat down with Joe Harris, one of the owners of Schuber Mitchell Homes and resident investment guru, to learn his real estate investment hacks and how to strategically build wealth. Joe started his rental business in 2004 with one goal in mind- to save money for retirement. His thoughtful approach to this industry has led him to success and he is passionate about helping others achieve their financial goals.

On day 1 our goal was to provide an affordable, safe, and stylish home to families who needed it. Today, that is still our goal for each and every one of our homeowners.
