If anyone is interested in having a meetup on 07/06, respond here. Also open to other dates. Seems like we have several people that want to get together. Can start with a meet and greet and see if it expands from there.

@Tim Harwick. Thank you for the feedback. I can't express the value of feedback and BiggerPockets forums as a newbie. I'm going in very conservative with very little expectation of returns. Using it as a learning experience and a springboard should things work out well. Have to say, I love the REI community vibe so far. So many people willing to share experiences, both good and bad, and provide valuable information in an effort to help newbies. Props to you all!

@ George Pauley

I was at a similar event hosted by James Wachob. I believe he used to work with MIP.

Thanks for the name of the turnkey provider. Will look them up.  Considering a different market for my next purchase.  I'm OOS so for the most part I'm only looking at turnkey right now. 

A few people from California,  Seattle and Denver. All made their purchases through turnkey and have been satisfied this far. Hope I'll be able to say the same.

@George Pauley

Do you mind if I ask what turnkey provider you used?  Also, i just returned from Memphis this week and met multiple investors that where very satisfied with their investments in Memphis.  Many picked up more in the two days I was there.

@Jackson Long

Thank you for putting together the thread.  As a new investor, it helps to read the good and the bad.

@Jeff Goodale

Thank you.  Definitely not looking for a home run.  Picked what I felt was a safe option to dip my toes in.  Hoping to pick up second property by August.

If you don't mind me asking,  did you ever purchase in TN?

@Jeff Goodale I attended a two day seminar that included the Memphis in May bbq. I wanted to go to the bbq and network but was limited on time so I drive the neighborhood instead.  

The event was hosted by James Wachob not Memphis Investment Properties.  He did a fantastic job and it's definitely worth the trip.  Met many great people, some who had purchased properties from him in the past. So far nothing but positive vibes from James Wachob.

I was actually interested in purchasing a property MIP had advertised but they really didn't respond to my call. I left a voicemail that I was interested in more information and all i received was a text with the proforma and a few hours later a text saying "the property sold. "

The next day i receive a sales call from them stating they saw i logged in to their properties page.  I mentioned I had wanted to purchase a property but was told it was sold even though it still appeared on their website.  He advised he would look into it and get back to me with the status of the property in a couple hours.  Never received a call. 

Not bashing them because they have many positive reviews on BP but as am OOS investor,  it didn't give me any confidence. 

Hey guys.  I'm in Plantation and I'd be interested in a meet up.  Just got back from Memphis, TN where I purchased my first buy and hold investment.  We should try and get an informal meet up together in the next couple weeks.

Currently on a plane to Memphis,  TN to explore the town and get a feel for it.  I know Memphis has been discussed ad nauseum and there are pros and cons in the city. 

Just curious if anyone has any input on the Memphis 3.0 strategic plan.  There is currently a lawsuit attempting to stop the city from moving forward with the plan but the mayor signed an executive order to move forward.  

Looking to here speculation on how it would help or hurt rental market.  On the plus side,  it would bring more jobs.  On the negative side,  it would bring more rentals to the area.  I'm a newbie and just looking for any feedback. Thanks in advance. 

Congratulations and good luck @John Roesler. Looking forward to reading updates.
