We’ve got another amazing transformation this week coming to you from Dallas--Fort Worth, Texas! This one was a doozy. With a rotten fence straight out of a horror movie and a slew of forgotten furniture littering the yard, our team wasn’t sure what kinds of horrors might lie within these walls. Lucky for us, there’s nothing our expert team can’t flip from sham to glam.

The real estate market moves in cycles. We come to expect the natural ebb and flow of the real estate market. There will be both times when profit is easy and other times when it becomes more of a challenge. Though buy-and-hold real estate investors are less impacted by the real estate cycle (as their investments are designed to serve in one’s portfolio for decades), it makes selecting the right markets and the right investment properties no less important.

There are only a few weeks standing between you and the new year. Not only that, but we sit on the cusp of a new decade! With 2020 imminent, it’s crucial that real estate investors do some housekeeping in preparation not only for the new year but to close out 2019 strong. 

This week’s Transformation Tuesday comes from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma! This house was swamped by overgrown foliage and equally lost within a jungle inside. But like every house our team selectively chooses to renovate, this one was bursting with potential. Our personal favorite asset? The gorgeous arched doorways connecting the rooms. Keep reading to see for yourself!

We have been hard at work this year and some BIG changes have been happening at Memphis Invest. We’ve grown to over 110 full time team members in four states. The Clothier family purchased a 40,000 sq. ft. Class A office building in Germantown, TN. to move our corporate headquarters into. We made three C-Suite hires for the first time including our first Director of Human Resources, CIO and CFO. All three are incredibly additions to our company and strengthen the leadership team at Memphis Invest. We are on pace to grow our clients portfolios by nearly 20% in one year to over 6,000 properties under management. If you know our company, you know none of this is happening by accident. It is all planned and the culmination of these changes is coming with the new year…

If you’ve been keeping up with real estate market buzz, you have undoubtedly heard the rumors of a housing recession on the horizon. We ourselves have made mention of this possibility. For many of us, even thinking of a recession gives us flashbacks to the Great Recession. That was a devastating time for homeowners and investors of all kinds. Though opportunity arose from the crisis, it was a tough time for everyone.

We know by now that there are countless ways to invest in real estate. If you’ve heard the term “turnkey real estate investing” you may have some ideas in your head as to what this is and what it isn’t. Unfortunately, “turnkey” has become something of a buzzword in real estate. We have to be careful when looking for turnkey opportunities.

This week’s Turnkey Transformation comes from Little Rock, Arkansas! Our team instantly saw the potential and beauty in this lot, but we knew it was going to take a lot of work to get there. From serious landscaping to purging leftover items from the previous owners, we made sure every inch of this lot was impeccable. Read on to see how this homely house was flipped to become brand new!

If you’re like most Americans, chances are you are not the best at saving money. Both the statistics around debt and savings in the United States paint a picture that highlights a lack of financial wisdom.

Turnkey real estate can be a divisive concept. Just like anything, there are die-hard believers who wouldn’t dare criticize the method and others still who will come up with every excuse as to why it’s a bad idea. We’ll be honest with you — turnkey real estate isn’t for everyone. Just like any investment strategy, it comes with its own share of risks and rewards.
