Why Memphis Is a Landlord’s Goldmine (High Cash Flow + Investor-Ready Market)

[Matthew Cates]

Hey BP community —

I wanted to share why Memphis continues to be one of the most proven and profitable cities in the country for rental property investors—especially if you're focused on long-term cash flow and want to scale without stress.

I work with Collaborate Real Estate Group, where we manage over 250+ doors across Memphis, Tampa, and Orlando. For landlords and out-of-state investors, Memphis stands out as a consistent performer with the numbers to back it up.

Why Memphis Works for Landlords:

1. Millennial Renters Are Driving Demand
Young professionals are flocking to Memphis for its affordability, job access, and quality of life. That’s keeping rental demand strong and vacancies low.

2. Diverse, Growing Economy
Healthcare, logistics, and a growing startup scene are all fueling tenant stability. Employers like FedEx and major hospitals are anchors that attract long-term renters.

3. Strong Cash Flow Potential
Memphis offers low entry prices and above-average rent-to-price ratios. That means real-world cash flow—not just on paper.

4. Citywide Investment in Infrastructure
The city continues to invest in neighborhoods, parks, and public services. That translates into better retention, rising rents, and long-term property value.
