Renovations offer international investors a strategic way to maximise returns through value-driven improvement. With dedicated teams in Cleveland and Detroit, we source below-market properties and transform them into high-performing, income-producing assets — prioritising transparency, quality and compliance, with reliable tenanting that protects the investment from day one.

Why renovation

Why Invest in Renovation Projects?

Acquire Below Market Value

Through our extensive off-market network, investors often acquire properties 15–30% below market value — the foundation of the return.

Professional Turnkey Renovation

Full renovation including roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, structural work, kitchens, bathrooms and flooring — in the price you pay.

Section 8 & Compliance Ready

Every home is renovated to government physical-condition standards (HQS, moving to NSPIRE), qualifying it for government-backed rents.

Capital Recycling Model

After stabilisation, refinance at the new valuation and recycle capital into the next property — the BRRRR loop our investors run.

Transparent Reporting & Oversight

A dedicated project manager, weekly photo and video updates, and independent quality control before contractors are paid.

Expert Local Management

On completion, we hand over to vetted, established local property managers — and stay accountable through the ownership cycle.

Case study

Real Results: One Renovation, Start to Refinance

A single off-market purchase in Cleveland, 2024 — bought with the renovation in the price, finished to government standard, refinanced at the new valuation, and still producing income today. The deal as it happened, step by step.

Bought off-market

01

Acquired in Cleveland for $129,000 — a purchase price that already included the $21,500 full renovation. Scope agreed before a dollar moved.

Renovated in the price

02

Our Cleveland crews took the property through its complete turnkey renovation — roof to floorboards, finished to government physical-condition standards for renting.

Refinanced at the new value

03

Appraised at $160,000 after works — a +$31,000 net equity gain, 24% over cost. At 70% cash-out, the investor had $108,810 returned.

Still earning today

04

$21,190 of invested equity remains inside a $160,000 asset — generating $26,400 gross, $10,152 net, every year.

I purchased a renovation property in Detroit with Global Investments two months ago, and it’s been an outstanding experience. The project was finished earlier than planned, and the quality was beyond my expectations. I’m now in the refinancing phase — the property appraised 30% higher than my purchase price! Section 8 tenants move in soon, and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

I recently purchased two properties in Detroit through Global Investments, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The team was professional, transparent, and genuinely invested in my success. From the initial consultation to the final closing, every step was clearly explained. The properties were beautifully renovated and are already generating income. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to invest in US real estate.

Back in May, we bought two homes in Cleveland. The entire process was seamless, and the properties were delivered on time. The renovations were high quality, and the homes were tenanted quickly. Highly recommend!
