The past two years have brought us a wildly unpredictable world. Let’s be honest, a lot of us are still on edge! The pandemic has stoked public health concerns, wild political debates, financial turmoil, and an unpredictable – if surprisingly high-performing – real estate market.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The original state of this residence was modest, and perhaps a little messy. Clunky carpets and mismatched colors did no favors for the exterior or interior. Now, residents can enjoy a bright, warm home for a long time! 

Take a peek as Mark Anderson, Director of Renovations, walks us through a 1,361 sqft. new-build in Little Rock, Arkansas. This property, located in a neighborhood that has 10+ REI Nation new-build homes, has all the bells-and-whistles including vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, and stainless steal appliances.

With 2021 coming to a close, it’s time to look forward to 2022. After all, there’s no time to twiddle our thumbs. The best real estate investors are always moving forward and getting the job done. But do you know what needs doing?

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Memphis, Tennessee.

The original state of this property may have been idyllic from the outside, but walking inside would have run you right back out the door! Rough flooring and outdated features were anything but welcoming. Now, after a bit of work, this home is resident ready! 

Every real estate investor is actively or acutely aware of their market conditions, be it in their specific investment markets or in the United States as a whole.

On this week's rental update, Nate recaps November's final numbers, and what you can expect for the month of December. He discusses this holiday season's trends and how REI plans to purchase more properties overall.

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

We love the unique features of this 1970's ranch, from the arched brick entryway to the exposed beams in the living area and master bedroom. All of our work in renovating was meant to shine a light on them, as we worked to clear up the unmaintained exterior and brighten up the mussy interior. 

Let’s be honest – passive investing doesn’t sound like the most exciting thing in the world. And truth be told, it’s not supposed to be! The big benefits of passive real estate investment aren’t about the thrills of sealing deals and making fast-paced executive decisions.

Take a peek as Mark Anderson, Director of Renovations, walks us through a beautiful Arlington, Tennessee property actively being renovated. During the walkthrough, Mark shares why REI renovates the outside of the home first and the importance of job site organization for prospective residents.
