I'm new to real estate investment, and plan to invest in long term rental properties. I live in Los Angeles so I'm looking for out-of-state properties. Would really appreciate to suggestions on which area/market I can research on!

Here are some of my wishes:

1. Positive cashflow, ideally if more than $200 per door

2. Purchase price less than 250K

3. Landlord friendly

4. Locations with good potential for future job growth and non-fragile economy, diversified industry/business

5. Locations OTHER THAN Columbus/Dayton OH or OH in general (I'm checking the area now, but would like to know places in other states too:) )

I've looked at Tucson and Tempe but the price seems too high. Las Vegas maybe suitable, still researching...

Thank you very much for any suggestion! If any of my bullet points are not clear or too naive, please let me know!

You just described Memphis TN!

Thanks Jordan! Could you give a more concrete example on what kind of cash flow is possible in Memphis? Maybe from a deal you recently closed?

Almost every single deal I close either with a client or for myself has at least $200 -$500/month in cashflow. I will message you.

Jordon-- I invest in Memphis. Please send me a deal that gets me consistently $500 a month.

They come around from time to time Alex, the secret is to make a-lot of offers. I also have some in my own portfolio that cashflow $500/month. I did however specify in my previous comment a range of $200-$500.

$500/month is definitely the best of that range. If you are only analyzing properties based on the list price and the repairs that are needed and not making any offers that work for you.. you will never find a property that cashflows $500/month.

Quote from @Joshua Ryan Lindsay:

Hello everyone! I'm trying to figure out a way to utilize a large storage building at one of my MTR listings in Memphis. It is in an enclosed gate area that can only be opened from inside the fence so I'm leaning away from using it as storage space while I have other guests staying there. It seems a shame to leave it there empty. Any ideas on what I could turn it into to help generate some extra profit? Thanks in advance!

Haven't seen a whole lot of people renting out detached storage units in Memphis but occasionally it does happen. I would probably consult with a general contractor on making the space livable (If possible). This detached unit thats like another rental is called an "ADU" Accessory Dwelling Unit. You can expect around $500 more a month on your total rent at best. I would make sure it makes since from a ROI standpoint first before doing it. Another factor to consider is the part of town your property is in and if you would have more issues with tenants due to issues with shared space. Let me know if I can help in any way. Talk soon!

What is a good way to feel out of state real estate agents and others that I will need to build my business. I am not able to fly to meet up at the moment and probably won't be able to for 6 months or so. What are some good questions to ask?? Thanks in advance!

Hey Amanda! The best thing to do to "feel out" real estate agents would be to simply just talk to them until you found someone you "feel" you can trust and then go from there! Hope this helps!

Hi! I’m Shay Snipes, a Nashville native exploring the Memphis real estate market. I’m looking for some valuable tips on up-and-coming areas and would really appreciate any insight you can offer. Also, if you know of any investor-friendly title companies, I’d love your recommendations!

My favorite zip codes to recommend for investment opportunities in the Memphis area are 38114, 38111, 38104, 38117, 38109, 38128, 38127, 38116, 38115, 38118, 38119, 38112, 38122, 38141, & in Mississippi 38637, 38671, 38672, 38654. This is a mixture of areas for good flips & rentals. As far as title companies go, I would recommend Foundation Title & Escrow. Dm me if your interested in what I can do for you as your boots on the ground Realtor in the Memphis area and/or if you need a direct contact at Foundation Title & Escrow. Talk soon!
