New Investor Memphis, TN

I'm located in the Charleston, SC area but have had a tough time getting numbers to work in this area.  I have decided to focus on Memphis, TN (specifically 38111 zip code where the University is located).  I am working a couple other zip codes (38117 - East Memphis & 38122 Berclair) but main focus is 38111.

I have done some in depth analysis on my YouTube channel if anyone is interested in seeing how I run my numbers and always happy to hear constructive criticism or better ways to do things.

Additionally, later today I will have a video out reviewing "Rent To Retirement" and giving an overview of their site and academy.  Thanks for watching!

You picked great zip codes - I own (or have owned) in all that you have listed.

I own in 38109, 38122, & 38116. Memphis might be the best place to invest in real estate in the world! (Obviously biased) I have been finding some great deals lately for myself and my clients! The moment folks starts testing new markets because Memphis "Isn't working out" is the moment all the deals reveal themselves!
