REI Nation and Premier Property Management Group are excited to be launching a new initiative geared toward helping real estate investors tackle their property management headaches.

For years, our investors have asked us for our assistance in managing properties that were not purchased from REI Nation. Knowing that we strive to always deliver our best-in-class customer service to both our clients and our residents, we decided to wait until we could ensure we were positioned to do just that.

Today, after careful planning and testing, we feel confident in our teams and our ability to meet the needs and expectations of our residents and our clients, even when the property under management wasn't originally a part of our portfolio.

If you have properties in any of the eight cities we are currently operating in, Premier Property Management and PPMG of Texas are ready to help!  The properties can be vacant or occupied. 

If you’ve ever lived in a rental property or in an apartment, you no doubt have some strong notions about your experience. There’s a stereotype of scummy landlords and derelict properties for a reason: it happens too often. Because we have this idea in our minds that renting is inherently in the category of a “necessary evil,” we come to expect very little from our managers and maintenance teams.

If someone were to ask what the most important factor in effective property management was, what would you say? There’s no shortage of potential answers, and many of them are good. However, in our over fifteen years of buying, renovating, and managing investment properties, we know that the most important thing is to pay attention to detail.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Memphis, Tennessee! This single-family property was bursting with potential; from its spacious living corridors to its hardwood floors, the foundation of this home had many outstanding qualities. However, it required a serious overhaul in order to make it truly shine. To see how our expert team of contractors transformed this property, check out the before and after pictures below!

Investing in real estate is a numbers game. The profitability of any given investment often comes down to a very simple equation. Though you can analyze the numbers in different ways, such as the profitability index (  Profitability Index = Present Value of Future Cash Flows ÷ Initial Investment ) and ROI ( ROI = Net Return on Investment ÷ Cost of Investment x 100% ), the point is that it all comes down to numbers.

Over the past eight months, the nation has been turned upside down and shaken to its core. While in many respects we hope that these changes are temporary provisions to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to be realistic: some changes aren’t going anywhere.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Houston, Texas! This asymmetrical home was bursting with potential, but required a hefty bit of work for it to truly shine. From its gutted bathrooms to its neglected walls, our expert team of contractors renovated this property from top to bottom, resulting in a stunning transformation. To see the before and after photos, keep on scrolling!

Where our wealth is concerned, we all want to have control. A lack of control can be a major stressor in our lives. Unfortunately, investors only have a say over so much. 

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Little Rock, Arkansas! This single-family home was built on the cusp of the ‘80s and hadn’t seen many renovations since. With a lime green kitchen, sky blue toilet, and neglected walls and flooring, our expert team of contractors had quite a bit of work transforming this house into a performing asset. To see how they accomplished the job, keep on reading!

We’ll just say it: this has been a weird year.

Even that doesn’t seem to touch the reality we’ve all been dealing with for the past nine months. The year began with predictions of a housing market crash and, as we’ve seen, despite the economic impact of the coronavirus, the real estate market has been surprisingly tenacious where single-family housing is concerned.
