Although increasing mortgage interest rates have begun to cool the costs of the real estate market, buyers and homeowners are finding themselves going to extremes to keep costs in check.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from San Antonio, Texas. 

You might've missed this house in its original condition, obscured as it was by overgrown trees and bushes that ran nearly the full length of the house! Inside, however, the empty spaces seemed to echo with dated motifs: wood paneling, patterned wallpaper, and off-putting colors left and right. Thankfully, our team knew just what to do to take this property back to its roots. 

You’ve worked hard to secure your retirement. From 401Ks and IRAs to passive income and pensions, you want that hard work and fiscal dedication to pay off. Here's how to help protect those golden years ahead.

If you’re reading this, you’re either interested in or already investing in buy-and-hold rental properties. You’re in this thing for the long haul.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

We love showcasing our newest markets in Alabama, and are particularly proud to share this ranch-style single-family residence based in Crimson Tide country. We saw a lot of potential in this family-friendly property, as dated as it appeared in its original condition.

We’re all feeling the effects of inflation in the U.S., but if you’re looking to buy real estate or currently own real estate, you’re feeling – or fearing – the impact of the central bank’s primary inflation-curbing strategy.

On this week's rehab walkthrough, Matt is joined by Kendall McKinney on a tour of this beautiful home in Cordova, TN!

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from St. Louis, Missouri.

From the outside, the original condition of this single-family residence told the story of a simple split-level. Inside, however, was identity crisis! Unfinished flooring, mix-matched walls, and unfriendly bathrooms made this seem like more of a cautionary tale. However, it didn't take long for our pros to take away the shock value and add new, usable features for a resident to have their fairytale ending. 

At one time, it was thought that owning a home was a great investment. While this is true in a sense thanks to real estate being a hedge against inflation, your home alone isn’t something to hang your financial hat on. The truth of the matter is more complex: appreciation rates shift based on national, even global, economics, market-specific characteristics, and individual property qualities.

The customer experience is often overlooked in business simply because it's difficult to quantify. With that said, it’s no less a vital part to your success as a real estate investor. Rental vacancies are extremely costly and the way you maximize your property’s income-earning potential is by minimizing turnover as much as possible.
