Houston Real Estate Investor, 26, Found Dead

By

By Stephanie Mojica

Delano Burkes, 26, a Houston real estate investor, was found dead two weeks after disappearing, according to TheGrio.com.

Burkes’ body was found in the Houston Ship Channel on Monday, Nov. 28. He was last seen on Sunday, Nov. 13 with his friends in the Heights neighborhood in Houston — about 15 miles away from where his body was found.

Karen Jeffrey, the mother of Burkes, saw surveillance videos of her son leaving McIntyre’s bar at about 1 am the night of Nov. 13. She told journalists that he appeared “drugged or something.”

Friends who were with Burkes that night said it seemed like he was experiencing pain in his side. The group got separated that night, leading Burkes to leave the bar alone.

The Houston Police Department has been investigating Burkes’ disappearance as a possible homicide. The cause of death has not been determined.

Media reports did not reveal the nature of Burkes’ real estate investments. Burkes was a former football player at Texas A&M University.

Housing Prices Cooling in Once-Hot Markets

By

By Stephanie Mojica

“Pandemic boomtowns” such as Austin, Boise, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Sacramento are seeing downturns amidst a stagnating real estate market and an imminent recession, according to Forbes.com.

Typically, housing prices in these cities see consistent growth. However, double-digit percentage gains just aren’t happening anymore — especially with current mortgage rates. For example, Austin’s median price per square foot used to go up about 24% per year. This year, the figure was only 1.3%.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote workers living in more expensive areas (especially the East Coast and the West Coast) flocked to Sun Belt destinations for high-quality living at a lower cost. As a result, home prices spiked by about 30%.

The dramatic drops in the stock and cryptocurrency markets are another contributing factor to investors seeing slowed growth in the value of their properties.

Sun Belt cities are far from the only ones seeing this problem, per Forbes.com. Even tech hubs such as San Jose, Oakland, and Seattle are no longer seeing double-digit gains in the value of residential properties.

Breaking Into the Commercial Real Estate Industry

By

By Vista Capital Solutions

Finding the right place to invest your money is often more challenging of an experience than many people realize. There are risks involved in any investment scenario and it can be difficult to figure out which options are going to yield the biggest results. Though far from a sure thing, commercial real estate is definitely one of the more lucrative areas when it comes to investments. If you think this path might be the perfect fit for your journey, take a moment to review the basics and get a better feel for what to expect.

Why CRE?

The first question many investors have when presented with commercial property options is why this choice is better than residential real estate. This is especially true in recent years, when the fix-and-flip model has offered first-time investors amazing opportunities. Though advantageous, residential properties are still very limiting in what they can offer an investor. With commercial options, an investor is given an opportunity to see a much bigger return and turn a single piece of property into several recurring points of income.

What Are the CRE Property Types?

The main reason commercial real estate is more appealing than residential options is because it can be used in several different ways. The four main categories of CRE include retail, multi-family housing, office, and industrial. Depending on the location of the property itself, you might want to explore any one of these options. Each choice can produce a number of benefits and challenges, so it is wise to think through the pros and cons before making any final decisions. The main goal is to find a property with several units that can be rented out separately.

What Are the Key Benefits of CRE?

Investing in commercial properties is advantageous because it allows the investor a chance to see income that lasts for a long while. Residential properties are only designated to be used by one renter at a time. With a commercial property, you can rent each unit out to a different person or group. This creates a number of points of cash flow that you can rely on each month. Many investors use the funds created by these properties to fund future investments and grow their empires. All it takes to get started is some dedicated research.

Finding the perfect piece of commercial real estate takes time and effort. As long as you understand the basics of CRE investments, you will be able to commit to the search and see the best possible results. Vista Capital Solutions offers an array of CRE funding solutions for all types of commercial property transactions and projects, nationwide. Reach out to our offices today to explore your options.

10 Growing Real Estate Markets to Explore

By

By Stephanie Mojica

Housing prices have skyrocketed throughout the United States, leaving budget-conscious buyers scratching their heads trying to find an affordable home in an area with plenty of work, educational, and recreational opportunities. The good news is that dream isn’t a lost cause. REALTOR.com recently released a list of 10 up-and-coming real estate markets.

1. Johnson City, TN

This Tennessee city of about 200,000 people is near the Appalachian Mountains. The average home price of $379,000 is about 10% less than the national average of $427,250 (as of September 2022).

2. Visalia, CA

For California, this city’s median home price of $400,000 sounds almost too good to be true. Visalia is in the San Joaquin Valley, about 40 miles from Fresno.

3. Elkhart, IN

This city’s average home price of $257,000 is roughly 60% of the national average. Elkhart is 15 miles from South Bend, 110 miles from Chicago, and 150 miles from Indianapolis.

4. North Port, FL

Florida is another traditionally expensive market, but this city of 75,000 isn’t one of them. The median home price of $548,000 is about 30% higher than the national average — but it’s Florida.

5. Fort Wayne, IN

Indiana strikes again with its budget-conscious homes and access to work, education, recreation, and travel. The average house price in this city of 265,000 is $300,000.

6. Lafayette, IN

This Hoosier State city of 225,000 has a median home price of $291,000 — roughly 70% of the national figure. Lafayette is about 60 miles from Indianapolis and 125 miles from Chicago.

7. Columbia, SC

For a capital city, an average home price of $309,000 is pretty darn good. The second-largest city in South Carolina, Columbia has a population of about 135,000.

8. Columbia, MO

As a major Midwestern college town, Columbia has a lot to offer its 125,000 residents. The median home price of $347,000 is 20% lower than the national average.

9. Raleigh, NC

Another southeastern state capital made this list, and Raleigh is undeniably one of the best cities in this part of the country. The average cost of a home in this city of 475,000 is $463,000.

10. Yuma, AZ

Another city west of the Mississippi made this list, with a median home price of $315,000. This city of about 75,000 is known for its sunny weather.
