The Top Zip Codes for Investment Properties in Your Area [2021 2nd Quarter]

We’re happy to report that our members made a significant number of deals during the second quarter of 2021! This report provides data about which market areas and deal types are available for profitable investing.

Similarly to this year’s first quarter report, a new investment property deal type called motivated MLS has been included on MyHouseDeals. 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 after-repair value (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 five zip codes for each market area, go here

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!

The Big Picture:

There are too many markets to list, so here is a breakdown of where these deals can be found by state.

Here is a percentage breakdown of the types of properties added to the site during the second quarter of 2021.

With foreclosure moratoriums continuing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, wholesale deals continue to make up most of the deals made on MyHouseDeals, a trend we saw in 2021’s first quarter.
