When you’re a green real estate investor, it’s not always obvious what is and isn’t a good investment opportunity. In fact, even experienced investors can be bamboozled by a bad property or a shady deal. With inflation the highest it’s been in decades, you have more to lose by taking on the wrong investment.

Real estate investors looking to get in on a fast-appreciating housing and rental market are facing the aftermath of one of the strongest seller’s markets we’ve seen. So how do you come out on top without blowing your budget in a bidding war?

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

A little care went a long way—and a lot of care even longer—in this fixer-upper. With an accessible ranch floor plan, and great yard space, this property had a great deal of potential. However, faded colors and dated features were just one of the many tells that the house was ready for a transformation. 

Sometimes investors are their own worst enemy. It isn’t always market conditions, the economy, or a dud property that brings your real estate investing success to a grinding halt. 

Real estate investment is the top choice for the wealthy worldwide. If you want a piece of that pie, getting started is easy but succeeding is another matter entirely!

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Memphis, Tennessee.

Though a little older than some of the more recent "transformations" we've shared, this property held so much potential we couldn't pass it up! In addition to its curb appeal, the back yard—complete with a courtyard and barn-like garage with storage and a powder room—would impress any resident. With a little TLC added in, of course! 

We’re well into the new year by now. The real estate market has remained much the same (after all, the turn of the calendar doesn’t change anything overnight!) but there are still big considerations for real estate investors.

On this week's rental update, Nate recaps the month of January and discusses the recent ice storm that hit Memphis and its effect on the area.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Don't sleep on little brick homes like this one! They hold massive potential as investment properties. This moderately sized ranch-style home was ready for an update, from the 70's exterior to the dark and dingy interior. Nothing our team can't handle! 

It’s no surprise that people are looking to capitalize on the real estate market without actually shelling out the cash necessary. After all, with the majority of U.S. markets seeing double-digit appreciation in the last year, buying property is more expensive than ever.
