They have a good reputation from what I've seen but does anybody have a long-term track record with them in Memphis or Little Rock.

Quote from @Justice Rutanhira: I have just bought a duplex in Cleveland (January 2022), only to find out that my property was due for lead-free certification in June 2021 and the previous owner did not get it done.

If the goal is to work with a well-priced quality lender, narrow your search to DSCR lenders that have solid reviews and a track record of closing.

It's a dual weapon.There's even a big net cap/cash flow poster on here that's more or less walked into this debate and admitted not holding was a mistake.

Does the broker have a solid track record?

If we had a GC with a solid track record, I'm confident I could find the capital.

You can email and text through appfolio and it keeps track of those comms.

If the property needs rehab you could pull this off on a fix and flip loan if you have a solid track record. 

It’s also important to keep track of personal versus rental days, as too much personal use can disqualify the property as a rental for tax purposes.
