At Straight Path Investing, people often ask what drives us to do this work—why we choose to buy distressed properties, step into tough situations, and invest our time and resources into places that others may overlook. The short answer? Our faith.
But the longer answer is worth sharing.
We’re Here for People, Not Just Properties
Every house we buy has a story. And behind that story is a person—someone going through something hard: a family dealing with the loss of a loved one, someone overwhelmed by debt or divorce, or a homeowner trying to navigate the stress of pre-foreclosure.
We don’t just see a property that needs work. We see someone who needs clarity, dignity, and a way forward.
Faith Guides Our Decisions
We’re not just in this for the numbers. We believe that real estate can be used as a tool for good—one deal, one family, one street at a time. As people of faith, we try to lead with honesty, compassion, and a deep respect for the people we serve. We believe in showing up with integrity, doing what we say we’re going to do, and treating every seller the way we’d want our own family treated.
Why Distressed Properties?
We choose to work with distressed, vacant, and fixer-upper houses because these are the ones that often come with the most need—and the most potential. A rundown property on the block doesn’t just affect the owner. It affects the neighbors, the street, the whole community.
Restoring these places doesn’t just bring up property values. It brings hope. It shows that someone still cares enough to rebuild what’s been broken.
More Than a Transaction
Our goal isn’t just to close a deal. It’s to create a solution. Sometimes that means offering a fair cash price. Other times, it means getting creative—offering seller finance, taking over payments, or helping someone avoid foreclosure through a short sale. The point is: we try to meet people where they are.
We don’t charge fees or commissions. We don’t pressure. We listen. We educate. And we work to create a win that makes sense for everyone.
Our Prayer Moving Forward
We pray that each person who works with us walks away feeling seen, heard, and cared for—regardless of whether we buy their property. We’re in this for the long haul!
