So many people told us we were crazy to buy this dump that looks to be an old “Crack House”, but little do they know what we are about to do to it! The neighborhood is actually very quiet and this property has a ton of potential. It is not for the faint of heart, but we are far from scared. We have already been to battle with the DC government on permits and won! So now its time to take another horribly distressed property and make it someones dream home!

Helpful investing was formed in February 2007 to invest in cash flowing rental properties that require renovation.

These distressed properties, specifically in the Greater Capitol Heights area, yielded low acquisition, moderate to high renovation, with substantial return on investment.

At this point it was necessary to alter our business model as we targeted properties that can be acquired at 60% or below of the current fair market value after repairs. The resale value of the properties after repair ranges from $200,000 to $300,000, the ideal price point for first and second time homebuyers…
