A new year, a new quarter! In 2021’s first quarter, thousands of investment properties were added to MyHouseDeals throughout the US. This report provides data about which market areas and deal types are available for profitable investing.
In 2020, a new investment property deal type called motivated MLS was added to MyHouseDeals.com. Motivated MLS deals are houses for sale on the multiple listing service (MLS) that are best suited for real estate investors. These houses are handpicked for MyHouseDeals due to their profit and negotiation potential.
Below we break out the four different deal types on our website: wholesale deals, investor-ready foreclosures, motivated seller deals, and motivated MLS deals. You’ll see graphs showing the percentage of each deal type along with which states and cities contain the most investment properties.
Then, we list the cities and zip codes with the greatest number of deals, followed by the average ARV for each state. Check out the maps to see which areas are hot right now for bargain properties. To view the summarized report containing the top 5 zip codes for each market area, go here.
If you do your own marketing to find potential investment properties, target properties in these zip codes since they are more likely to have motivated sellers and/or properties needing repair. Both of these conditions can lead to greater discounts and profits for investors like you.
Keep reading for these breakdowns of hot investment areas so you can see how the rest of 2021 might pan out!
