Individuals can get involved in real estate without much oversight.

The short of the reasons being-- I've never heard of someone wanting to move to Memphis (speaks to desirability), the market is too high of a renter's market for me (speaks to less owner-occcupants which can affect quality), if I were to have bought in Memphis it would've been 5 years ago when the deals were better before the hedge funds and individual investors ate everything up, and for current times, there are just higher returns and nicer deals (in my opinion) in other markets.

Always looking to network and meet new, like-minded individuals.

You can go from nice homes to very poorly maintained homes in a few blocks!

I'm then going to the state website (where the entity is registered) and digging up the names of individuals.

You've came to the right place if you're looking to connect with like-minded individuals...I'd highly recommend you check out the BP Podcasts and stay active on the forums!

Mainly joined to network with other investors in the area and possibly find a few individuals to partner with on some future projects.

It will also give you tips on how to find rehab costs for individual projects.
