But also post your question in the Memphis forum and that might reach more peopleI have not done turnkey in Memphis but have owned several rentals; it is a good market.Reach out to me when you come visit and we can grab some famous Gus's fried chicken!

If they really care they would also require the flu vaccine, chicken pocks, DTAP, MMR, and the use of condoms for safer sex but we'll see where they draw the line. 

Poor people have low value (to worthless) things, and things that are not are financed.Written into a lease or not, I still think (Trying) to take something of value from these people will result in a physical fight or a gun being pulled.Texas is a hard to collect state, but turning a smoke stained 11 year old big screen into $100 at the pawn shop hardly seems worth the drama/effort/personal risk.Some people will kill each other over McDonalds Chicken nuggets being out of stock--you never know how people will react to this.

Left us all arguing which processed chicken noodle soup is better: The red can!

I am too chicken to trust serious money with some stranger that I dont know inside out.... even if it is someone that I know inside out, he/she can still honest mistakes....For, only direct ownership for me....My latest direct ownership is a small condo in a prime location in SF that I bought for $560K... $60K down, rented to a googlite tenant, roughly cash neutral from day 1.....Not "making" any money though....from a cash perspective.....I continue to believe that have a criteria and always be looking LOCALLY will eventually get you the best result longer term...

But that takes a little time and practice; otherwise, you'll be like a chicken with your head cut off....running around making a mess of everything and ending up....well, in a very bad spot.Your goal(s) will determine your methodology, and your methodology will determine what actions you should be doing today, tomorrow, a week or a month from now. 

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

Maybe it’s my chicken and egg problem?

Does the guy next door have chicken fights in the back yard at 3:00 in the morning and have his 1974 Pinto Wagon on blocks in the front yard?

Ice cream is pretty seasonal.
