Are you ready for The Grind?

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from our original stomping grounds, Memphis, Tennessee!

To the passer-by, the original state of this property might not have seemed so bad. But peek around to the backyard, or in to the rooms inside, and you'd be getting quite a different story! Our renovation team worked hard to transform this two-story trainwreck into a spacious clean slate.

While much of the news has been focused on the traditional real estate market, investors know that there is more happening in more niche areas of the market. Beyond buying and selling, the rental market is seeing its own upheaval.
