Memphis Invest, GP, a local Memphis real estate investing firm, has always been proud to serve the greater Memphis community with causes that directly effect the affordable housing situation in Memphis and the restoration of neighborhoods that have been decimated by the falling economy.  In the past we have supported Habitat for Humanity as well as local food pantries, meal kitchens and over-night support centers.  After having had such a blessed year, we decided to add one more charitable organization to our donation list.

Zillow has recently reported that is shows the percentage of U.S. homes with mortgage debt higher than the value of the home has actually decreased from the second quarter to the third quarter.  What does this mean for you and I and all the other real estate investors out there who are jumping into the Memphis investment property pool?

I found a great article from RISMEDIA on line detailing how the tax credits work and thought I would share it with everyone while also giving my take on how the tax credit can help investors.  I have been asked several times over the last couple of weeks if the tax credits would help with the Memphis investment real estate market.  I think it can if investors are smart with how they try to utilize it.  Whether selling an existing property to a tenant or purchasing a new property for fix n flip, investors need to be realistic with how much play they will actually get from the program.

Recent headlines, including those touting Tennessee Senators fighting for federal funds for Memphis, serve to highlight that Memphis is going to out perform most other investment cities as the recovery takes hold over the next few years.  For investors who are looking to build portfolios of great Memphis investment properties, headlines like these should point to a bright future.

If you've ever listened to one of my webinars introducing Memphis Invest, you've me heard me say time and time again that this is absolutely a people business and has very little to do with the product.  That's speaking strictly from the providers point of view of course.  But what about from the investor's point of view.
