Transformation Tuesday is our opportunity to highlight how REI Nation takes older homes and transforms them into dependable, rent-ready investments. This week’s transformation features 1520 Garland Avenue in North Little Rock, AR, a 1965-built, single-family home offering 1,570 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Through a comprehensive renovation, this property was upgraded to meet REI Nation’s standards for durability, resident comfort, and long-term investment performance.

This week, we’re spotlighting a property that proves an important truth about turnkey investing: not every renovation requires a dramatic before-and-after moment to be a strong long-term investment. At 6205 Chippewa Drive, the transformation wasn’t cosmetic—it was structural, strategic, and focused on the core systems that protect your investment for years to come. With a thoughtful rehab approach and a final budget of $62,000, this home is now positioned to offer stable, consistent performance for its future resident and owner.

Little Rock has become one of our most popular markets for investors looking for reliable, long-term investment properties to add their portfolio. 

Little Rock is one of our hand-selected markets, prime for long-term investment due to its steady economy and central location. 

You asked, we answered!

This week’s Transformation Tuesday is from Little Rock, Arkansas.

This cottage was a charmer, buried under a bit of age and rubbish. From the curb, the blue and brick exterior was in shabby shape. Inside, the kitchen had dated red cabinetry and the living room a spooky old chimney that gave out more soot than warmth. Now, the residents of this Arkansas property have a beautiful place to call home.

Walking by the original state of this property, you might not be able to make out the house through the overgrown landscaping and miss the hidden front porch! Inside, there were peach walls as far as the eye could see, and the bathrooms and kitchens were cramped, rough spaces. Now, after our signature "turnkey transformation," this property is undeniably welcoming! 

We’re not all able to see and visit our investment markets, but if ever you have the chance, it’s good to know where you can see and do the very best and authentic experiences that the city has to offer. While compared to other vacation destinations Little Rock, Arkansas may not sound like it has much in the way of a glamorous vacation getaway, you might be surprised what all this great city has to offer in terms of experiences.
