Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $140,000

One of my favorite zip codes is 38117. Yes, most of the homes are older than I prefer but the QUALITY OF RESIDENT is why I love 38117. Young professionals, baby boomers, and residents who "treat my properties like a HOME"
When you start with the end in mind you end up with a portfolio full of properties that will attract your IDEAL resident. To learn more about investing in Memphis real estate you need to reach out to my team.
