Madison has one that meets twice a month which you could check out at www.madisonreia.com  They have about 60 investors meet at any given meeting and typically about 10 brand new investors will peek their head in each month.

What actually sparked this post was a story I saw on a proposed development at Taylor & Madison (next to the church), trying to cram an apartment complex into the small lot where the vacant bank sits.  

I put myself through a Bachelor's in Computer Science at James Madison University and still have the $60k in student debt to prove it!

Are you still looking to invest in Madison?

When I last lived there (2005), I owned a house more towards middle/east end of Lakewood (Bunts & Madison).

I've saved a lot of cash by doing it myself over the years, but often, at the end of the day, what I saved was less than the rent income or carrying costs I incurred.I still have rentals in Madison county (Harvest-Toney- HSV Sec. 8) so feel free to keep me posted on how your new project develops. 

As a life long "Memphian", I suggest The Bar-b-que Shop on Madison Ave.

By the time I left, it was like everyone forgot about them and no one was worried about living on Jackson, Monroe, Madison, Jefferson.

The IRA custodian is Madison Trust.

Can anyone recommend a hard money lender for a first time flipper/investor in Madison?
