REI in Tennessee.. Good, bad and ugly

[Christie Speciale]

Changing directions here.. looking to invest in long term rentals in TN (likely duplex but will consider a single family residence). I was considering Memphis but have been turned away by several opinions (mostly people who are not investors).. Also looking at Chattanooga..

Any opinions, suggestions or comments?! Input on the areas I mentioned? Any other areas I should be looking at? 

Thanks!!

 Have you considered Knoxville?  I-40 and I-75 cross the city, a large University, just outside of the Smokey Mountains, and Oak Ridge and TVA are not too far away.  Just a thought.
