I'm grateful for that experience...

Any advice given is welcome, even if not asked for - I'm likely missing many fundamentals without even realizing, and i'm grateful for any contribution either here on in a PM...Please don't be shy!

@Jay Hinrichsi did go out to memphis and stayed there for brief trips to learn about the city and neighborhoods. i am grateful to @Chris Clothier 's company Memphis Invest who took me on a tour and told us which areas in 2016 were they investing in for their investors. through an investor/broker, i built my portfolio using off market deals at that time .there was a twenty percent difference in mls and turnkey prices in 2016. i bought leased homes with tenants already in them and we put them under prop mgt co. of course maintenance was deferred but was negotiated in purchase price as per inspection reportsmy comments are based on 2016 and 2017 investing after reviewing prices on MLS and similiar turnkey productIn 2018, at least in memphis you can get wholesale/off market deal but will need 15k to 20k rehab easy and difference of final price is maybe 15k to 20k pricing between MLS and turnkey.u can get wholesale deal for $95k with 15k rehab needed and ARV is $125k in the last deal I reviewed and above all  CASH only.IMHO it is the neighborhood that is more pivotal to real estate investing than just numbers all the time.

@Dan Heuschele,  Thanks for responding, I'm extremely grateful for the information you've provided.As you know, I'm a newbie and this is my first time analyzing a deal and using the BP calulators.  

I agree I'm grateful for Bigger Pockets it's very informative.

I would say to shop around and get a Realtor that is grateful for the opportunity to work with you.If you can't find one, give me a call.
