When I first wrote my customer service post, I had not planned on writing a second part, but there was something else that I thought was equally important that I learned during my dinner at the Chart House. It is called RESPECT!

Great Contractors make Memphis Invest look really good
By Chris Clothier on Tue, Jun 29, 2010
Mark Anderson, MemphisInvest.com
For all you Memphis real estate investors out there, tell me if you’ve heard this before. “You make your money when you buy. You realize it when you sell.” Heck, I guess it doesn't matter if you are a Memphis investor or where you're located, that advice holds true almost anywhere you are investing. It’s hard to dispute this sage advice passed down by those who’ve gone before us. But a lot happens between the time you buy and the time you sell, and most of it involves contractors. For many beginning investors, finding a good team of contractors is one of the toughest tasks to completing your first deal. At MemphisInvest.com, some of our own clients came to us because they struggled so much with finding responsible, reliable and reasonable contractors. Indeed, some of the worst real estate horror stories you will ever hear involve contractors, which is why this is such an important topic.

Size does matter when it comes to Memphis investment properties. The average size of a new home has more than doubled since the 1950’s and people have grown accustomed to more space. If an investment property is too small, it usually is more difficult to rent or sell. When I say that price does not equal value when buying discounted investment properties, this is one of the "other" factors I mentioned that an investor has to look at. Does that mean you should avoid small homes?

Investing in Wholesale Properties in Memphis, TN.
By Chris Clothier on Fri, May 28, 2010
I am writing to let you know how impressed I am with your complete done-for-you real estate investing system. I just closed on the re-finance of my second wholesale property in Memphis, and signed the contract for the third. When this third deal is completed, I will have put very little of my own money into any of these wholesale properties and will have a positive monthly cash flow of almost $500 per month on each property after all expenses.

A 'Perfect Foreclosure Storm' for Memphis Real Estate Investors?
By Chris Clothier on Mon, May 3, 2010
I found this great news article at Forbes.com that I thought everyone should read as soon as possible to get an insight into what is continuing to take place in the housing market. There is a sense of relief being perpetrated in the media including right here in Memphis that the worst of the housing crisis is behind us. Let's hope that is true, the worst is over.
