Rides to Riches — Neighborhood tours for smarter investing
By Obiora Okagbue • Fathom Realty • NJ Licensed Realtor #17587224
What I look for on the road
- Turnover signals: move‑ins/outs, “For Rent” signs, contractor trucks.
- Rent comps in the wild: call numbers on signs to validate advertised rents.
- Value‑add scope: siding, windows, roofs, interiors suggesting upside.
- Access: parking, transit, jobs, schools—tenant demand drivers.
How tours translate to deals
- Shortlist streets with the right signals and pull targeted MLS comps.
- Run quick ROI/cap math, then schedule investor‑focused tours.
- Negotiate with local intel to secure better price/terms.
