Memphis Tips?? Looking to step into the Memphis market

[Barry Je]

Seattle-based investor here looking to cautiously dip my toes into Memphis.  Memphis keeps coming up as an incredible place to invest, but caution is required as neighborhoods can change street by street.

I have found two or three friends in the Memphis area that can serve as a boots on the ground guide.  I wouldn't even touch the city unless I found friends I can trust there, and since they're on board with helping me out, I figured it's time to explore.

So, what tips do you guys have to share with getting into Memphis? Any connections or great investment-focused realtors and property managers you can suggest? Is it multifamily friendly or is it a town that prefers its SFR's instead?

Thank you!
