Looking to Speak With 2–3 Memphis Property Managers This Friday – 38112

I’m an out-of-state owner with a 2BR/1BA duplex in the 38112 area of Memphis. I currently have professional property management in place, but the property has experienced a prolonged vacancy and I’m trying to educate myself and get a few independent local perspectives.

To be clear, I am not looking to immediately replace my current property management company. I want to give them a fair opportunity to get the property stabilized.

What I would like to do is speak with 2–3 experienced Memphis property managers for about 20–30 minutes this Friday. I’m trying to understand whether what I’m experiencing is primarily the current neighborhood/market, the property itself, leasing/marketing strategy, applicant requirements, voucher/Section 8 strategy, or some combination of those factors.

I’m particularly interested in speaking with PMs who:

• Actively manage rentals in or around 38112
• Have experience with 2BR/1BA rentals or duplexes
• Have experience marketing to Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 tenants
• Can speak to actual current rental demand and leasing activity in this immediate area
• Are willing to give me a straightforward assessment even if I ultimately stay with my current management company

I’m available for phone or Zoom conversations this Friday and have a fairly flexible schedule.

If you’re a Memphis property manager and would be willing to talk, please send me a private message with your name, company, website/contact information, areas of Memphis you primarily manage, and roughly how many units you currently manage.

I’m not going to post the property address publicly, but I’m happy to provide additional information privately to someone I decide to speak with.

Thanks. I’m mainly trying to become a better-informed owner, compare approaches, and build relationships with good local professionals for the future.
