The Top Zip Codes for Investment Properties in Your Area [2021 4th Quarter]

2021-Q4-Market-Report

The conclusion of 2021 has arrived and with numerics confirmed by our research team, members ended the year with a bang—adding a load of new deals to their tallies! This report provides data about which market areas and deal types are available for profitable investing. Keep reading to find out more!

Similar to the other quarterly 2021 reports, our newest investment property deal type called motivated MLS has been included. Motivated MLS deals are houses for sale on the multiple listing service (MLS) that are best suited for real estate investors. These houses are handpicked for MyHouseDeals due to their profit and negotiation potential.

Discussed are four different deal types on our website: wholesale deals, investor-ready foreclosures, motivated seller deals, and motivated MLS deals. Graphs and charts below display the percentage of each deal type along with which states and cities contain the most investment properties.

Following suit is a list of the cities and zip codes with the greatest number of deals, and then by the average after-repair value (ARV) for each state. Check out the maps to see which areas are hot right now for bargain properties. View the summarized report containing the top five zip codes for wholesale deals for each market area. 

Watchlist properties in these zip codes are more likely to have motivated sellers and/or properties needing repair. Both of these conditions can lead to greater discounts and profits for investors like you.
