If you are looking to purchase a nice property and start collecting rent right away, this one is for you. This home has been renovated from top to bottom. It has a new roof, new floors, new paint, new tile, granite countertops, and custom cabinets. The lot that this home sits on hosts a good sized yard with an additional structure that can be used as a storage building, two car garage, workshop, etc. It is even large enough to be converted into a second rental property.

@Doug Merriott

Hey Doug, just give it some time. It will work. Also, don't target a neighborhood where you see lots of for sale signs. Target a neighborhood that looks like other agents haven't touched. I recommend more established neighborhoods because it has probably been a while since those owners have purchased a home and most are out of touch with agents because many don't stay in touch with past clients. Hang in there, man. It's tough but people will definitely remember you. As a matter of fact, I am heading out right now to a listing appointment as a result of a door tag that I hung 2 months ago.

@Wayne Woodson

Hey Wayne, also ask experienced agents if you can help them by hosting some open houses. It will help you get used to talking to people and you just might get some names and numbers of people who don't have an agent. That works well, too!

Thanks,

Hi Wayne,

Yes, working with buyers is very challenging, but if you screen, you can cut it short before they get a chance to waste your time lol. If you want to get listings, you are going to have to get ready to roll up your sleeves, shake hands, and get ready to grind!!! Here are some things that my wife and I do:

1. We find neighborhoods that meet our criteria and we have lots of door tags printed. We actually put on our tennis shoes, get out the double stroller with the kids, put on our company tee shirts, and start knocking on doors/or hanging door tags. As we do that, we shake hands, we introduce ourselves and our family, and we let people know that we do real estate in the area and would love to set up a time to discuss their real estate needs.

2. We go to socials that have nothing to do with Real Estate to stay connected with the community and to let people know that we are Realtors. Once people are comfortable with you and they see that you are not just out for a commission check and that you are interested in being a contributing member of the community, they will call you as a friend!!! You will start to build relationships that go way beyond real estate.

These two things work for us. Our kids also enjoy getting outside and seeing new faces. Also, people don't expect you to get out of your office, walk to their house, and shake their hand. That immediately tells them that you are not just a lazy Realtor. My wife and I believe that it is now time to get back to the basics of business which entails being fully invested in the community that you serve and wanting to see it be successful, one individual at a time.

Thanks,

Courtney Taylor

Wow, I think you are off to a great start! I think you have done more than most investors do. Some of us just plan it as we go lol. All I have to add is just to be flexible, though you have a "Business Plan." Real Estate can lead you down a million different paths. There are so many ways to invest in Real Estate whether it be through buying and selling houses or providing services to those that do that. The sky is the limit for you and your wife. Let's Go!!!

Thanks,

Courtney Taylor

CONGRATS!! It's something about that first deal that you never forget.

Courtney Taylor

@KMichelleHill Thanks!!! Let's do a deal some time :) Have a great day!

I'm going to have to agree with

@Account Closed . 38127 is tricky, but if you stick to the best areas you will find some good renters!! I have one right now that is listed with me. Its near Delano and right off I-40. Contact me for more information if you're interested.

38125 is pretty great as well. I have a rental there that I refuse to sale!! My renters have been with me for 3 years and are awesome! My advice would be to link up with someone that knows Memphis and kept help you weed thru the good and bad areas/deals. I am a Memphis native and a realtor. I would be glad to help you!

Thanks,
