No matter what assets you invest in, your return on investment (ROI) is the metric that matters. ROI shows how profitable an investment is compared to purchase and operating costs. When investing in real estate, there are ways you benefit that aren’t reflected in pure profits.

You’ve heard the billionaire success stories, and you’ve seen the statistics. You know that real estate is the best way to build lasting, inflation-resistant wealth.

If you’ve retired or started seriously planning for retirement, you may think it’s too late to do any worthwhile investing. After all, passive investing can take years, even decades, to really pay off. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have plenty to gain.

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.

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. 

Over the past decade, investing in real estate has become more popular than ever. Whether it’s due to the onslaught of fix-and-flip shows or the undeniable opportunities found in a post-Great Recession America, there are millions of real estate investors in the United States today. Even in 2012, real estate investment was a $9.2 billion industry with some 28 million self-identified real estate investors. 

After 15 years, this week, Memphis Invest celebrated closing on our 5,000th property!

This is a HUGE milestone for us, and also for the people that helped get us to where we are. From our clients, to our staff, vendors, and residents, we are extremely grateful for everyone that has been a part of growing our company and our vision.

It has been a little over a month since my book, The Turnkey Revolution released and it's been quite a ride! In fact, last month it reached #9 on 800-CEO-READ's Business Bestsellers for May of 2018. It also hit #1 on Amazon's Hot New Releases List for Buying and Selling Homes. I'm thrilled with the success of the book, but even more excited for the readers who are now more educated about turnkey investing!

If you could name one thing holding you back from a career investing in real estate, what would it be? There are plenty of things you could name. A lack of resources. A lack of experience. A bad market. Ultimately, though, the biggest thing standing in the modern, would-be investor’s way is a lack of time.
