According to a 2020 study, Nashville was ranked one of America's hottest real estate markets. However, by then, the market had cooled considerably compared to a few years earlier, as inventory lessened while cautious buyers waited for things to pick back up. Speaking with the Los Angeles Times in January 2019, Flip or Flop Nashville stars Page Turner and DeRon Jenkins revealed how they were handling the market trend at the time.
"We got spoiled in Nashville having always had a pretty loose market," admitted Turner. "Now that it's so tight I had to go back to literally calling people to ask their aunts, cousins, mothers — anybody in their family — who might need to get rid of a house. We had to go old-school and find the pocket listings, use wholesalers, be unconventional."
Turner also shared the qualities she looks for in a home when it comes to flipping potential. "I always find properties that are a hot mess. Every single time," Turner revealed. "[Jenkins] shakes his head like, 'What in the world is this?' And I say, 'I don't know, you figure it out.' I frustrate him to no end."
