We Don’t Hide Behind Our Web Site!

Helpful investing was formed in February 2007 to invest in cash flowing rental properties that require renovation. After building a portfolio with over a dozen rental properties, an opportunity presented itself with the failure of the mortgage market and influx of financially distressed properties.  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 in the Greater Capitol Heights area.  While our main objective is to make a minimum of 15% profit based on the After Repair Fair Market Value on each deal, we are also aware of our responsibility to the communities we do business in, and our role in the betterment of these communities.  Therefore, we always make every effort to provide products that are of good quality and will conform to the future vision of the targeted neighborhood.

Over the years our hard work, community outreach, and real estate education, has provided us the ability to offer foreclosure prevention, loan modification, real property tax appeals, construction management, property management and licensed realtor services.

It is our mission to become the premiere “one stop shop” for Real Estate Investors, Buyers and Sellers in the Washington DC area and continue to create win-win situations for our clients.
