Real Estate investors buying discount properties in Memphis have been keeping a sharp eye lately on the economic numbers coming out.  Some of the big story lines that have so many excited are those around employment.  With Memphis landing several big announcements in the past two months from major international companies, economic recovery and the roll Memphis is going to play for the nation seems to be forefront.

On Tuesday night, January 4th, Marq Cobb who leads the sales floor at MemphisInvest.com, held a quick 45 minute Webinar recapping three great success stories from investors in 2010.  Each defined success in their own way and each took advantage of the services provided by our years of experience in the Memphis investment real estate market.  The stories shared were simply inspiring!

Yahoo re-published a story today on the 20 year effect of real estate values in 25 major metropolitan areas around the U.S.  I will give everyone one guess as to the outcome!  For real estate investors who bought discount properties in the early nineties, they have seen huge increases in value, but more importantly, many have seen tenants pay off their notes and today are earning monthly cash flow on free and clear properties!  At MemphisInvest.com we have been investing and assisting others to invest in not only a great market, but also with a great long term strategy.  After all, real estate investing is still one of the best bets for building long term wealth.

Memphis Invest was in Dallas, TX. on November 20th and found a room full of investors ready to take action!  After announcing that Memphis Invest and Fortune Builders would be in Dallas for a one-day event at the Embassy Suites in Grapevine, the room quickly filled up with 72 investors confirming their seats and getting ready to learn about Memphis real estate investing. 

Memphis investment real estate buyer, Brian Douglas, talks about the turn-key process of investing in discount properties in Memphis with MemphisInvest.com.  Brian has built a sizable portfolio of investment properties and views his portfolio as an addition or diversification of his existing retirement strategy.

So you all know that we are constantly working to improve our operations and educating ourselves when it comes to investing in real estate and we urge you all to do so as well.  Last week we spent 4 days at the Fortune Builders Rehab Bootcamp in sunny San Diego, CA learning new processes and touring the  properties that Fortune Builders are currently rehabbing.  Ryan, who heads the rehab department at Memphis Invest, joined us in continuing his education. This is by far one of the best educational opportunities of the year and we are happy that Ryan could join us.

Kent, Jr., Brett and I had the opportunity to speak to the 300+ attendees in regards to systems implementation, business building and stayed over to give a special presentation to a select group of attendees on the inner workings of the Memphis investment property bus tours that we host.  See below for pictures from last week's workshops.

Be sure to check out the Fortune Builders' home page for future events and make plans to join us for one of the upcoming educational boot camps.  Even the experts still attend workshop weekends to continue to grow and learn as business owners.

See you on the road soon...
