@Brian Patterson,

You're welcome.

I have not been to one of the meetings yet, but sometime soon I plan on attending.  Hopefully, I will see you there!

Hi, @Ryan Zomorodi.

I assume this is for your property in Oakland, right?

Depending on your itinerary, I'm happy to do anything I can to help.

Also, I believe that meeting with any of the Memphis-based frequent contributors on this site who have a moment for you when you're here would be time well spent.

Where are you staying and when do you arrive/leave?

Thanks,

Best of luck to you!

PS - When you find some wholesale deals, please send them my way!

Post: Memphis area with no city tax

Hi, @David Hodge.

See the map located here.

You can also find it at the bottom this wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_County,_Tenne...

Just to be clear, Bartlett, Millington, Collierville, etc. have their own city taxes, in addition to the Shelby Co. taxes, but the tax rates are significantly less than the City of Memphis rates.

That said, as @Curt Davis mentioned, there are several areas in Shelby Co. where properties only owe County taxes (see the white areas on the map above).

Hope that helps.

Hi, Dan Ward.

I agree with Kathie. The Central AR REIA is a great place to get involved (http://www.meetup.com/Central-Arkansas-Real-Estate...) when you move to Cabot.

Best of luck to you!
