Memphis Invest and Premier Property Management both completed their 1st quarter numbers for 2012 and released the results today. As the market and industry leader, it is important to release relevant and timely information as a barometer for not only our company, but also the investment industry as a whole.

For Memphis Invest, these are all great numbers and again point more to the team we have assembled than anything else. One final number that has had an enormous impact is the amount of capital that has been injected into the local economy. Memphis Invest spent a little over $2.4 Million int he 1st quarter with local companies including carpet companies, HVAC companies, plumbing companies, local painters, contractors, wood workers, lawn companies, general laborers, etc. These local companies provide additional jobs for other local workers.
A huge 'Thank You' is due form us to all of our clients and from the Clothier Family to all of our staff as well. We are looking forward to an even better 2nd Quarter!
