The U.S. stock market did not have a good week at the end of February. This in itself is an understatement — the Dow fell 1,191 points. S&P 500 posted its worst numbers since the Great Recession. The Dow drop of 4.4 percent, however, marks the worst single-day stock market drop in history. The U.S. stock market lost some $4 trillion in value where the global stock market lost $6 trillion.

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! This house was bursting with potential: a spacious living room, huge windows to let the sunlight stream in, and an equally welcoming kitchen were all a few features making it so. However, trash, neglect, and a bad roof were all keeping it from shining. Our expert team of contractors transformed this home and turned it into something truly beautiful. 

Real estate investment has long been regarded as a crown jewel in the world of wealth-building. When most people think of investing in real estate, their minds go to names of multi-millionaires, old money that owns apartment builds, resorts, and hotels…

No one said investing would be easy. Any ace investor will recount the mistakes they’ve made on their way to financial freedom. When it comes to real estate investing — particularly passive investing — we often underestimate the risks and potential pitfalls in front of us.

This week’s Turnkey Transformation comes from Houston, Texas! This beautiful house had seen some serious neglect. Christmas lights were still stringed along the outside, and inside, ghosts of Christmas past seemingly lurked between the slates of half-torn out walls.

So much of your success as a turnkey real estate investor hinges on the quality and reputation of the company you choose to work with. At REI Nation, we value our reputation — our track record of success and excellent customer service. The same can’t be said of all real estate investment companies.
