Whether you’re buying to rent or planning a full retail flip, understanding how to rehab a property with precision directly affects your ROI. We bring clarity to the questions every investor asks: what’s my ARV, what level of rehab does this deal require, and how do I adjust my scope based on the exit plan? Joined by Nick Gibson of Build 901, we dig into real rehab strategy—from budgeting to finishes to dealing with the realities of working with contractors.

Real Estate Trends, New Construction & Memphis Market Insights

The real estate market is shifting, and two major trends are taking center stage—migration to southern states and the resurgence of new construction. Investors are seeing an influx of renters relocating from the North and West to states like Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, and Florida due to job opportunities and affordability. However, this migration has created a housing shortage, increasing the demand for rental properties. In response, new construction is gaining popularity over traditional rehabs, offering investors brand-new homes with lower maintenance costs and guaranteed rental income. Memphis, in particular, is emerging as a prime market for rental investments due to its affordability, strong job market, and steady property appreciation. In this episode, we dive deep into why Memphis remains a top choice for investors, how new construction compares to rehabs, and what rental trends are expected in the coming years. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions and maximize your returns.
