Blighted Properties
Hi team,
I'm reading about Blighted properties and that it is a persistent problem for many Memphis neighborhoods. Are their any specific neighborhoods/ or Zip-cods/ Streets that have the most vacant or derelict properties?
It is also good to read that the local investor community is trying to improve this issue.
Feedback will be much appreciated,
Cheers.

@Hadar Orkibi I believe you will have a MUCH more profitable investing experience if you know the market and have a network on local folks to communicate with. I recommend you have an onsite visit to the city and spend some serious time meeting local investors and learning the areas they invest in. Connect with the local investors group (Memphis Investors Group) to begin.
