Investment Property

Ever watch those shows on television where someone buys a fixer upper, performs a drastic renovation, and then sells or rents what looks like a completely different house? Justin Landis got his start in real estate by doing just that (minus the television crews) over 200 times. They make it look easy on TV, and while it’s not rocket science, you can learn quite a bit between your first investment property and your 200th. Since becoming a real estate agent, Justin has passed on this knowledge to clients who have purchased investment properties to rent and to resale.

Want to buy property to hold as a long term investment?

Is the best time to buy when everyone else is buying or when everyone else is selling? Most people will tell you that you will get the best deal when everyone is selling. There is no doubt that we are in a Buyer’s Market. Real Estate prices are down dramatically in Atlanta and across most of the country. We are also in an unprecedented low interest rate environment. When you combine those factors, now is likely one of the most compelling times to consider investing in real estate for the long haul.

Buying an investment property can seem like a big task, but we have a great team in place to help you make the best possible investment with the least interruption to your daily life. Our Partners can guide you through your purchase, inspection, closing, renovation, and tenant search. The founder of Keller Williams, Gary Keller, wrote a great book, The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, on a conservative approach to creating wealth in real estate.

Want to “fix and flip” an ugly house?

Think you have the vision to turn a really ugly house and into someone’s dream home? It takes a little longer than on the 30 minute television show, but it happens every day. Just like on television, there are hurdles to jump along the way, but with the right team in place, we can make the process as smooth as possible. We work with a group of investors to make sure they buy at the right price, do the right work at the right price, and sell it profitably at the end. It is our full time job, so it doesn’t have to be yours!

The fix and flip approach typically has higher risk and a higher reward than buying real estate to hold for the long term. Investors who chose this method often enjoy the renovation process, prefer not to be landlords, or are just looking for a higher return on investment. Fixing and flipping also tends to require more cash than long term rental property. Financing for these renovations is a little more difficult and more expensive than a conventional mortgage. However, you don’t have to do the entire project in cash, and we are happy to help you explore your financing options. To get more detailed information on fixing and flipping, fill out the form below.
