3 Ways
to Invest.
Secure an off-market house below market value today. Add renovation capital when it works for you — then flip, rent or hold. Your capital works in steps.
Secure now, decide later
Most renovation deals ask for all your capital on day one. 3 Ways to Invest splits it into steps. You buy an unrenovated, off-market single or multi family home at a below-market price, and you decide when to add renovation capital — or not — when the season, the market and your own liquidity are right.
In the first months you commit roughly $55K, not $85K. The rest of your capital stays available until you are ready to use it. Plan the works for the spring selling season, a better contractor quote or a stronger currency moment — your timing, not ours.
Global delivers the house at the right price, fully documented, with vetted local partners and 24 months of strategy support. Renovation, leasing and sale are yours to run, directly with independent local providers.
Step 1 · Acquisition
$60,300Buy the house. Example: $54,900 purchase + $3,900 arrangement fee + $1,500 closing. Independent inspection, approximate scope of works, title insurance and licensed escrow on every purchase. Freehold title in your name or your LLC.
Step 2 · Decide
Your strategyFix & Flip, Renovate & Rent, or Buy & Hold — match the strategy to your goals, capital and timeline. Renovation capital of $25–45K, by property size, is added when you choose — quoted by vetted local contractors you contract directly.
Step 3 · Exit
Your callSell at market value after works, rent to a private or Section 8 tenant, or refinance at the post-renovation value to release capital for your next purchase.
One property, three ways to profit
Same house, three strategies. Paths are not locked: start in Buy & Hold and move to renovation when ready — or renovate to flip and, if the resale market softens, rent instead.
| 1 · Fix & Flip | 2 · Renovate & Rent | 3 · Buy & Hold | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Buy, renovate, sell at market value | Buy, renovate, rent to a private or Section 8 tenant | Buy and wait for the market to rise |
| Extra capital | $25–45K renovation | $25–45K renovation | None until you decide |
| Income | Profit from sale | Annual ROI 14–20% | None while waiting |
| Timeline | 3–12 months | Works 3 mo + placement 2–3 mo | Decision within 24 months |
| Involvement | Active | Semi-active | Low |
| Best for | Capital gain within a year or so | Long-term USD income + equity | Lowest entry into the market |
Fix & Flip
The value is created between the price you pay and the price a buyer pays for a renovated home in the same zip code — including the costs most flip examples leave out.

Buy, Renovate & Rent
After renovation to government inspection standards, a recommended local property manager places a private or Section 8 tenant — the local housing authority pays a major portion of the rent directly to the landlord.

Buy & Hold
Hold the house at today’s price, monitored by a local management company under direct contract with you. Waiting a year costs roughly $1,700 in holding costs — the question is when waiting pays.
Assumes an estimated unrenovated market value of $74,900 — $20,000 above the $54,900 purchase price. The 7.9%/yr applied is the five-year average price growth in the Cleveland neighbourhoods where Global operates; past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. Timing decisions remain the investor’s.
