Where to Grow Business
Hey BP! I was looking for some insight into whether or not to move from my hometown to start my real estate career. I am currently a senior in college graduating with a finance degree from the University of Memphis. I also play baseball here, which is a big part of why I am considering staying. I have lived in Memphis my whole life. But with the rising crime rate here, I do not see myself staying for the long term. I have considered moving to outside of Nashville or even farther east. For context, I will have my real estate license and plan to become a realtor to make active income. My dilemma is that I have a lot of connections here in Memphis. Connections to people who would like to back me on future real estate investments, whether that is in Memphis or not. I fear that if I don't move and start to grow the connections somewhere else, I will end up building too much here to leave in the future. Has anyone ever moved away from a place you already have connections in for the possibility of better long-term sustainability? Maybe I am overthinking this, but I would love to hear some feedback! Thanks everyone so much!

Great news that you're staying in Memphis, @Michael Dallas! I made the same choice years ago and I am very glad I did.
