Memphis / Oxford New Investor Help!

[Tony Haas]

Note: I am only a little over a month in deciding to learn more about real estate, but have been researching like crazy! I feel decent about my ability to run numbers, but I am currently feeling a little overwhelmed on how to choose a property. There is so much out there!  I have been looking in Greater Memphis Area and Oxford, MS. Anyone have any suggestions on narrowing down the choices? I am currently using Zillow and Realtor.com apps to look for properties. Looking at the Zillow rental map​ in Cordova, TN (suburb of Memphis) and Oxford, MS, it appears the area is saturated with rentals. Should this deter me from investing in these locations? I appreciate all the input offered! Thanks, Tony

My partner lived in oxford for many years and just recently moved to Hernando. He owns properties in oxford as well as Memphis and collierville. If you like I can arrange a call for you to speak with him and he might be able to give you insight into these markets. PM me if you are interested, thx
