Today, I am going to share a little wisdom I heard from a group of the best real estate investing minds I have ever met. When we met Fortune Builders a couple of years ago, they had already made a name for themselves as a premier property flipping company and had gained national notoriety as one of the hit companies on A&E T.V.'s "Flip This House".

What resulted from that first meeting has been two of the absolute BEST companies in their respective fields teaming up to help investors around the world take advantage of this crazy real estate market.

Memphis appears to be somewhere in the middle as economists are predicting Memphis Real Estate to appreciate 3.2% in the coming year. That may not seem like a big boost, but Memphis is one of only four markets expected to appreciate in the coming year.
