Now is the time to invest in real estate. Whether you are thinking about getting started investing or have been investing for many years, we are confident that you will find our team a key part of your future.

What We Offer

We sell properties to 2 types of investors:

1. We sell properties that need work. These properties are primarily for the local investor that has the ability to do the work themselves or has a good construction crew in place.
2. We sell properties that are already rehabbed and rented. These properties also work well for the local investor and are what most out-of-town investors want.

We don't disappear after the sale. Regardless of which investor you are, we offer property management after the sale. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want. We will offer any advice or consultation you would like if you want to manage your investments yourself or we will handle all of the details and you can go on about your normal life.

Check out the About Us section of the website to see who you will be dealing with.

How We Sell

We make the process very simple. We put in over 100 offers a month to get our 10-15 properties. We buy at a price where we can consistently pass along good deals. Our properties sell quickly and normally in packages so the inventory list changes often. Please act quickly if you are interested in a property.

We have an inventory list that clearly marks 1 or 2 prices depending on the status of the property. There will be a wholesale price if we have not yet rehabbed the property. This is the price that we would sell it to an investor that wants to rehab the property themselves. The rehabbed price is the price after the property is rehabbed and a tenant is placed.

Please understand the following regarding our sales:

1. Our prices are non-negotiable. We set the prices to reflect a fair deal so that you can make a decision knowing the true price upfront.
2. You will get a clean title with all of our properties.
3. Our prices include all taxes paid as of the last tax bill. We do not offer tax pro-rations. Taxes are due in May and November so if you buy a property in April the taxes coming due in May will be your responsibility. We have set the prices to reflect this policy (in another words we could slightly raise the prices and pay the taxes but we want to keep it simple). Please contact us if this is confusing.
4. On a cash deal if you put down 100% of the purchase price as earnest money we will pay all closing costs.
5. If you buy a property that is not completely rehabbed or not yet rented we will offer a guarantee date where it will be rented so that you will not have to worry about rents not coming in as we will cover them until it is rented.
