As a seller, I prefer the MLS over off market, especially in Memphis. I've done both and find that I have consistently netted more money from selling via MLS (even after paying @Dean Harris a sales commission!). Is your experience different than mine?

Do you use automatic rent increases for leases over 24 months? I do now (since I learned the hard way in Memphis).

Do people on your team lie to you? If they do, you need to replace them. Real estate investing is a team sport, especially in Memphis, and you need dependable teammates.
