This week’s Tuesday Transformation is located in the beautiful Bluff City -- Memphis, Tennessee! There’s no denying that this home needed a good team to flip it back into shape. Between a new fence on the outside and a fresh coat of paint on the inside, we stayed busy fine-tuning this home for its future family. Take a look for yourself to see the changes and additions our expert team applied to this property below!

As a real estate investor, few things are more crucial to the health of your financial future than the health of your portfolio. But what constitutes as a healthy real estate investment portfolio? What is your responsibility as a passive investor? Even though you are technically a “hands-off” real estate investor, your role still demands attention. Think of yourself as the captain of the ship! While your crew gets the heavy-lifting done, your hand is at the wheel, steering the ship towards its destination. 

It’s the season of giving. We’re surrounded by the warmth of family, friends, and (if we’re lucky) a nice warm drink and fresh-baked cookies. This time of year is unlike any other. It’s easy, however, to get wrapped up in all there is to do and lose sight of the people who live outside your personal bubble. Sure, it might seem a little strange to talk about holiday giving and real estate investment. As investors, however, we’re in a unique and ideal position to give back.

We’ve got another amazing transformation this week coming to you from Dallas--Fort Worth, Texas! This one was a doozy. With a rotten fence straight out of a horror movie and a slew of forgotten furniture littering the yard, our team wasn’t sure what kinds of horrors might lie within these walls. Lucky for us, there’s nothing our expert team can’t flip from sham to glam.

The real estate market moves in cycles. We come to expect the natural ebb and flow of the real estate market. There will be both times when profit is easy and other times when it becomes more of a challenge. Though buy-and-hold real estate investors are less impacted by the real estate cycle (as their investments are designed to serve in one’s portfolio for decades), it makes selecting the right markets and the right investment properties no less important.

There are only a few weeks standing between you and the new year. Not only that, but we sit on the cusp of a new decade! With 2020 imminent, it’s crucial that real estate investors do some housekeeping in preparation not only for the new year but to close out 2019 strong. 

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! This house was swamped by overgrown foliage and equally lost within a jungle inside. But like every house our team selectively chooses to renovate, this one was bursting with potential. Our personal favorite asset? The gorgeous arched doorways connecting the rooms. Keep reading to see for yourself!

We have been hard at work this year and some BIG changes have been happening at Memphis Invest. We’ve grown to over 110 full time team members in four states. The Clothier family purchased a 40,000 sq. ft. Class A office building in Germantown, TN. to move our corporate headquarters into. We made three C-Suite hires for the first time including our first Director of Human Resources, CIO and CFO. All three are incredibly additions to our company and strengthen the leadership team at Memphis Invest. We are on pace to grow our clients portfolios by nearly 20% in one year to over 6,000 properties under management. If you know our company, you know none of this is happening by accident. It is all planned and the culmination of these changes is coming with the new year…

If you’ve been keeping up with real estate market buzz, you have undoubtedly heard the rumors of a housing recession on the horizon. We ourselves have made mention of this possibility. For many of us, even thinking of a recession gives us flashbacks to the Great Recession. That was a devastating time for homeowners and investors of all kinds. Though opportunity arose from the crisis, it was a tough time for everyone.

We know by now that there are countless ways to invest in real estate. If you’ve heard the term “turnkey real estate investing” you may have some ideas in your head as to what this is and what it isn’t. Unfortunately, “turnkey” has become something of a buzzword in real estate. We have to be careful when looking for turnkey opportunities.
