This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Houston, Texas.

We can't help but see potential in forgotten old houses like this one. From the unique curb view to the bountiful windows, this property was destined for a quality resident—with a bit of TLC, of course. 

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Houston, Texas.

Unassuming on the outside, this hidden gem was concealing one of the most serious vaulted ceiling we've seen! Certainly there was potential to be seen, especially if you could look past left-behind detritus and let-go landscaping. After our renovation, it feels good to say this Houston home is resident-ready! 

The Lone Star State is at the epicenter of real estate investor interest. Houston — along with Dallas, Austin, and Ft. Worth — has been a major economic and investment hub for over a decade. 

When we first expanded into new markets at REI Nation, the first two areas we targeted were Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston, Texas. The reasoning behind this move comes down to a few key factors: in the end, both markets displayed not only growth opportunity, but tenacity in a post-Great Recession world. 

Speculation is a natural part of the real estate world. We’re always looking for the next big thing and, at the same time, preparing ourselves for worst-case scenarios. In a post-Great Recession world, can you really blame us? That said, it’s important that, particularly in buy-and-hold real estate investment, we are prudent in our analysis and decision-making.

Over the past several months, murmurs of an economic slowdown have been steady. While some would see this as a cause to worry, we know that this is all a part of the natural economic and real estate cycle. There is nothing to fear from the natural ebb and flow of things, provided other red flags are not present.
