Post: Are turnkey investors losing their minds?

From a wholesaling standpoint, the Memphis market seems to be experiencing some type of "investor boom" and creating a competitive market. I would not doubt investors are starting to jump at any and every opportunity without the SoW, especially from a reputable turnkey company. I'm starting to get a surge of refinance buyers approaching me for deals that they can purchase from me if I remodel for them. 


As stated above, you may want to start jumping on opportunities and at least getting it contracted with a due diligence period. Otherwise, you may have to start getting creative and getting hands on with people on the ground here. 


Good luck!

@Sean Howell I primarily recommend and use Shelter Insurance. CapEx/maintenance can vary depending on what you are buying. The purpose of turnkey is to have low Capex/maintenance for at least the first five years. However, with a $75,000 budget, you could put in a few offers in the 38128 or 38118 area on something with a 5 year old roof, new water heater and 3 year old HVAC. That way you could technically factor in $100/mo Capex for at least the next 3-4 years.

It is similar to buying a used car. If they have receipts for where they've kept it maintained, put a new radiator, new tires, new alternator, etc. then you shouldn't expect too much maintenance for the next couple of years.

Good luck with your venture! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat about Memphis.

@Sean Howell

I agree that your taxes and insurance calculations are a bit high for Memphis on a $75,000 property. Taxes would be more like $45 and $80 for insurance. With a $75,000 budget, I feel like you should be able to get yourself into a property that is able to rent for $850/mo. Considering the above numbers for taxes and insurance and including your calculations, you'd be positively cash flowing $78/mo from $850/mo rent.

Good job Ryan! Millington is a little known suburb outside of Memphis that is great for investing! Memphis can only expand a few directions and north is wide open!

@Doug Haisten Mainly from acquaintances that are aware of the business but I've had luck with Craigslist ads and networking on Facebook. People from Craigslist and social media tend to come and go after about a month, but people you've met in person or someone you can connect with tend to produce results.

Contract -

You do NOT want to miss this amazing opportunity to own a 6 unit multi-family apartment complex in the North Memphis area of midtown! This 2/1 4200 sq 6 unit apartment (700 sq ft. per unit) has had 85% of the remodel completed and is awaiting for electrical installation and to start marketing for tenants! Units were previously occupied at $400-$450/mo per unit. Owner responsible for water and waste. At the asking price of $90,000, you are looking at a major 20%+ cap rate annually after property taxes, insurance, PM fees, water, waste and maintenance. 

Features a fenced and iron gated area, top and bottom units with stair access on both sides. Located next to a convenience store. Surrounding complexes are fully occupied! Roof was replaced less than 10 years ago. No HVAC maintenance as units require window units or other options.

Remodel costs to complete are comparably low at $10,000 or less. My team would be more than obliged to complete the repairs for the new owner! Inquire about our property management for this property at only 10% monthly (potential tenants are already awaiting for completion).

This is a STEAL to pick up 6 doors in one of the hottest rental markets in the US!

Post: Need advice - my first investment in Memphis

Although several local investors have great success with investing in 38127, I would not suggest this area for an out of state investor starting out in Memphis. While there is a possibility this may turn out to be a solid investment, the chances are high you will experience issues with tenants, collecting rent or vacating the property. Not to mention vandalism, theft and issues that can occur while it is vacant. You would be highly reliant on your property management in this area. 

   Having a bad first experience with an investment in this area can give you a "bad taste" for Memphis all together. I'd suggest using Trulia's crime map and researching the areas a bit more before diving in. If you would like to stay relatively low on the purchase price, I'd suggest looking into 38128, 38115 or 38118. You may still experience issues as the above, but would have a better chance at gaining solid returns. If you'd like to make an even safer investment, I'd suggest B-/C+ areas like 38133, 38134, 38141, 38116 or 38117. 

However, great choice in looking to start in Memphis!
