One of the most valuable aspects of a healthy real estate market is that market’s economic health. A healthy economy creates jobs, jobs create opportunity, opportunity attracts people, and people bring a market to life with demand for goods, services...and real estate!

If you're like most people, you can probably remember a time when you made a 'bold' decorating decision. Sometimes they work, and sometimes these design choices are a little too far out, even for the most artistic of interior designers!  Every once and a while at Memphis Invest, we find some really unique touches to the houses we acquire. I wanted to share today's 'Turnkey Transformation', where the previous owner wasn't afraid of color, and the bathroom vanity might be a little too vain for some!

In the real estate investment game, we’re big advocates of stopping in on the markets you invest in when you have the chance. While we know that it isn’t always possible for everyone, we do think that there are so many great benefits in actually seeing your investment market firsthand.

At Memphis Invest, we believe in the power of relationships. As a family-owned business, we know that community, closeness, and building lifelong bonds are invaluable not only to our success and that of our clients but to a sense of security and belonging.

I wanted to start off the month of August showcasing one of our incredible homes in Memphis, TN. What's great about this week's 'Turnkey Transformation' is that it is NEW CONSTRUCTION. Many turnkey companies only offer properties that have been mildly to moderately renovated. But here at Memphis Invest, we want to cater to our investors and residents that desire a brand new home!

One of the key components to real estate investment success is a deep understanding of your investment markets. This comes not solely with the analysis of dry statistics and market trends, but in getting down and dirty with the reality of what it’s like to live and work in that market. This is why so many investors tend to stick to the markets in which they happen to live—because nothing gives a better advantage than firsthand experience.

"The Rebirth of Downtown Memphis — It's hot. It's hip. It's back. Here's how the Bluff City recaptured its heart and soul."

You could read that headline in any publication today, but you might be surprised to know that it first appeared in Memphis magazine twenty years ago in 1997. At the time, the Pyramid was a new fixture in the city. A baseball park was under construction at Union and 3rd. There were rumors of a Hard Rock Cafe coming to Beale Street. At the time, downtowns all over the country were undergoing revitalization and there were good reasons to be optimistic about the future of Memphis.

In 2018, we find ourselves in a similar position—optimistic about the future.

It's our second week to share with you our "Turnkey Transformation of the Week" here on the Memphis Invest blog. Every Tuesday we're going to include pictures of a property that has been renovated by one of our Memphis Invest rehab teams. Each week we'll bring you a renovation from one of our 5 markets, so that you can see more of what our teams do here everyday!

For new real estate investors, the challenges of investing can cause a lot of stress and anxiety. When you’re delving into uncharted territory, you have to have someone you trust in your corner. That’s why it is so valuable for new investors to partner up with the right people. When it comes to investing in turnkey real estate, it is critical that on both sides, the relationship is of the highest priority.

I'm so excited to share a new segment we're starting on the blog. Every week we're going to bring you a 'Turnkey Transformation', which will include pictures of a property that has been renovated by one of our Memphis Invest rehab teams. Each week we'll bring you a renovation from one of our 5 markets, so that you can see more of what our teams do here everyday!
