While our primary concern throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been the health and safety of those around us, all of us share economic concerns as well. When we look to the future, uncertainty abounds.

It has been near two months since COVID-19 became a major concern in the United States. Most of us remain in self-quarantine while we try to make our families, neighbors, and coworkers as safe as possible. We don’t know how long this will last, nor do we fully see and understand the ramifications of the pandemic — not just the toll on human life, but on our way of living and doing business, our economy, and our future.

This week’s Turnkey Transformation comes from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This one-story home needed a lot of attention, both inside and out. With a pile of mattresses stacked up on the sidewalk to gutted bathroom walls, our expert team of contractors had plenty to keep them busy as they renovated this home. The final look is one we’re proud of and know will make a great home for a single-family.

If you look at the headlines, you will see article after article written about the state of the real estate market amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Headlines will declare the spring homebuying season DOA, incite panic among commercial real estate owners who won’t see rent paid, and cause the Average Joe to worry that 2020 will see a throwback to the 2008 Great Recession.

Everyone talks about how the COVID-19 pandemic has plunged us collectively into the unknown. For real estate investors, this can be a scary time. We don’t know exactly how things will pan out, even if we can look to clues and indicators from recovering global markets.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from St. Louis, Missouri. This one-story home had seen better days; abandoned trash, outdated floors, and unfinished bathrooms were just a few of the features tarnishing this house. After our expert team of contractors hit the scene, however, we were able to quickly renovate it into a welcoming home. 

Throughout much of the COVID-19 discussion, we’ve emphasized just how uncharted this territory is. In so many ways, we just don’t know where things will go from here and how deeply and truly the pandemic will affect not just real estate investing, but all areas of life, work, and recreation.

We’re well aware that we are currently venturing into the unknown, not only as it relates to investing in real estate but in life as we know it. The COVID-19 pandemic is unavoidable. All of us have to address and deal with it in our own ways, personally and professionally.

This week’s Turnkey Transformation comes from Houston, Texas! This single-family home located in the “Space City” was desperate for some TLC.

The tension between uncertainty and trust is one of the most impactful factors in the real estate investor’s life. We’re in a constant battle between the anxieties of the unknown, the management of risk, and the faith in the system that has built lasting wealth for so many before us.
