Getting data on Memphis neighborhoods.

[Kim Handelman]

Hi All, 

I am a multifamily investor looking to invest out of my home market (CT). I am taking a trip to Memphis the end of this week to get to know neighborhoods and meet with brokers/property managers. I am having a hard time finding honest info on neighborhoods. Just trying to choose some areas that are blue collar, working class but safe. Like many towns, I've heard Memphis can vary street to street. Where should I go to get honest information/data on neighborhoods/trends etc.?

Thanks so much! Kim

@Kim Handelman How did you choose Memphis? Just curious! We use data from city-data.com to look at specific streets/neighborhoods in the markets we invest.

@John Acklen I agree that the brokers/PMs in the market should be able to provide this information to you and be very accurate. If not...find another broker/PM. :-)

@Alexander Price Not sure why Kim is looking in Memphis either...definitely curious!

@Curt Davis Thanks for this information and confirming trend in the thread for Memphis=SFR
