Tennessee Rentals: Nashville area or Memphis?

[Allen Harris]

Hey guys, I'm in the Nashville area and will make my first rental property purchase in the next few months. I'd like to stay close to home since there are plenty of good properties under $100,000 within a couple of hours of any direction of me. My local area is Spring Hill, which is just south of Nashville. I was thinking of looking here and a little further south in Columbia. But I also know Memphis gets a lot of attention as a rental market. Memphis would also enable me to use a turnkey provider if I wanted to go that route for my first property. Any pros/cons or other suggestions for Memphis versus Nashville/Spring Hill/Columbia?
