Successful real estate investors all have this pivotal moment where their thinking makes the critical shift from average homeowner to investor. You see, mastering an investor mindset is an overlooked yet critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to investing in real estate. Because we often think of investing as something we do “on the side” and not as a highly skilled job, we don’t often think of ourselves as truly in need of any training or in need of a fundamental shift in thinking to succeed.

Coming to you from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, we have this week's Turnkey Transformation! We'll see how a lot of landscaping and a great rehab team are able to bring this property and it's curb appeal up to the Memphis Invest standards. Plus the backyard on this particular home needed a lot of elbow grease, check out the before and after pics to see how much this property can shine!

In the real estate investment business, we talk a lot about risk management. Much of the time, this is relegated to concepts like portfolio diversification, insurance, and savvy business decisions. One of the things we don’t always talk about, however, is asset protection.

Naturally, we assume that only the biggest, boldest, and best survive when it comes to the Lone Star state and especially where its biggest cities are concerned. Dallas is certainly no exception. That said, Dallas ranks in the top 10 for capital venture investing with an average return of 3.4 times the initial investment.

$5.4 billion dollars were invested in local Dallas businesses in the past seven years, which actually represented a cooling of the Dallas venture capital market.

We've got another great renovation for you, coming from Oklahoma City, OK! We've been in Oklahoma for about a year now, and with job growth, affordability and population growth, this market is ripe for turnkey investors! We'll see how a great team, streamlined processes, and a $44,000 renovation budget turned this disheveled property into the best looking house on the block!

What is holding you back from fulfilling your potential as a real estate investor? That might not even be the right question to ask. Maybe you haven’t started yet. Maybe you’ve been making mistakes. Sometimes it comes down to this: we’ve got this whole investment thing wrong from the very beginning. Maybe we’ve been listening to the wrong people and leaning into bad advice.

After 15 years, this week, Memphis Invest celebrated closing on our 5,000th property!

This is a HUGE milestone for us, and also for the people that helped get us to where we are. From our clients, to our staff, vendors, and residents, we are extremely grateful for everyone that has been a part of growing our company and our vision.

When an opportunity is at your doorstep, it’s best to pay attention. For real estate investors, there is nothing more exciting than a real estate market on the rise. The moves we’ve seen in the Memphis real estate market over the past year shows profound promise for homeowners, sellers, and investors alike.

Here’s everything that you need to know.

Our amazing 'Turnkey Transformation' for today is in Dallas, TX. This renovation was lot different than our standard rehab, due to the fact that this house had some fire damage prior to us purchasing the property. We'll hear from Tye, the project manager for this property, to learn more about the rehab. But we'll also discuss the purchase method the investor used for this property as well, as it may shed some insight for other investors looking to finance their properties!

When we first began this company fifteen years ago, Memphis Invest provided turnkey real estate investors with investment opportunities in our namesake town of Memphis, Tennessee. Over the years, we have carefully and meticulously analyzed market trends to expand those offerings in new investment markets.
