@Alex Craig,

I really like the video. Do you do that in Memphis, too?

Sounds great! 

Thanks again, @Hector Perez.

Hi, @Account Closed.

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

The best Memphis networking event is the local REIA.

Check it out here.

Hope to see you there next Thursday (11/12/15) night!

Thanks for the comment, @Trevor Ewen.  It's fun when people engage in healthy discussions!

@Hector Perez,

Thanks for sharing the link, and great job on a well-written and very important article!

What other training do you get as the 2015 Start Small Win Big Challenge winner?

@Chris Clothier,

I'm with you.

I equate "management" with "partner."

Hey, @Chris Clothier.

Thanks for the great info!  

Your description of Frayser is very thorough and spot on from what we've experienced as far as logistics and economic demographics go.

For the record, I wasn't trying to use the Ellen video to say that Frayser is a great place for everyone to invest.  I simply wanted to highlight an actual good thing taking place in 38127 since most everyone on BP only talks about the challenges in that area.  

I am happy to go on the record saying that Frayser is not for everyone (neither is 38106 or 38109 or 38114 or ...)!

All that said, we still believe (like @James Martin) that certain investors can make 38127 work for their objectives.

Hope that clarifies things a bit.

@Vuth Tram,

That sounds like a great report!  I can't wait to see it.

Here's a link to a recent BiggerPockets article that features Memphis as the most attractive rent-to-price market.

Hope that helps.

Ha! Good one, @Alex Craig!

For everyone interested, here's an easy opportunity to get involved in another lower income area in Memphis. 

http://events.memphischamber.com/events/details/me...

We manage 100+ units in 38114 so we're always looking for ways to do more than just provide safe and affordable housing.  

Please consider joining us on Sat 11/14/15 from 8am to 12pm.

Hope to see you there!  (Feel free to send me a private message if you're interested.)
