Are you considering using a wholesaler to buy real estate? In Memphis, we suggest using an agent to bridge the gap and protect your purchase.

Be sure you understand what the 1% rule is and what it isn't, especially if you're investing in buy and holds in Memphis.

Be careful because in some neighborhoods in Memphis the 1% rule does not work.

Do you think the 1% rule is a good rule of thumb?  It seems to be in Memphis.
